KRAHMER HAS BILL
County Auditor Wants $1,000
Raise in Salary

County Auditor E. G. Krahmer told
the Ramsey county delegation yester-
day that he has an average of liz
clerks in his office. Members of the
delegation put in a half hour speculat-
ing as to who the half man is.
The county auditor presented a draft
of a bill which he asked the delegation
to introduce in the house. 1t gives
him salary of $4,000, a raise of 81 900
from his present salary, and a force
of fourteen clerks, with some increases
of salaries. 1t is a practical duplicate
OF the bill introduced in the house by
the Hennepin delegation, except that
the salary Of the auditor named in the
Ramsey bill is $500 larger than pro-
vided for the Hennepin county auditor.
The bill was referred to DR.. T. c. Full
ton and d. l. Hammergren, who will
confer with the Hennepin delegation
before introducing it. Mr.. Krahmer
explained that he placed the $4,000 SAL
airy regulation in the bill at the request
of Auditor Scott of Hennepin.
The Selb bill, giving the Ramsey
county surveyor not to exceed $500 a
year for carriage hire for himself and
his deputies, was recommended to pass
by the delegation.
The delegation gave it's approval to
the Hammergren bill providing for a
county expert printer when it's author
had consented to its amendment The
salary limit is placed at $25 In the bill
and the hiring of an expert printer is
made optional with the county COM
missioners.
John F. Selb will be chairman of a
subcommittee of three to consider the
merits of the Flower bill permitting
the issuance of $4,000 city bonds for
new bridge across the Mississippi at
Fort Smelling.
