SALARY FOR SUPERVISOR OF AS
SESSMENTS.

Since the killing of the bill which
had for it's object the adjustment of
the Office of supervisor of assess
ments, considerable attention has
been gwen to the question of regu-
lating the salary of said official, the
object being to reach those counties
in which the Office is unpopular and
whose county boards have placed
the salary so low that said super
visors decline to serve after having
been elected. The bill as now
agreed upon is sure to pass the as
sembly and will doubtless become
law. 1t provides that the minimum
salary to be paid supervisor of as
SCISSORS shall be $500 day for each
day engaged in the work, and the
maximum salary $500. The num-
Der of days which it will be lawful
for such supervisors to work shall be
between rs and 1875 days per year
in counties where the assessment
shall reach $40, 100000 of property
value assessed; in counties where
the property assessed shall be listed
between 100000 and 10000, 900,
the time limit for working shall be
between 125 and IT'S days, of the
value of property between $50, 600,
600 and sO,OOO,OOO, the working
time shall be between IT'S and 225
