The Coconino sun., 1905-09-23

during all ot said time no deputies have been employed in that office at county expense, all or the work having been performed by the Re corder or paid for by him. That for three years last past Coconino county bas been first class county and under the law and the existing conditions said Recorders ofiice would reason ably have been entitled to, and under less efti- cient and expert Recorder, would have required the employment of n number of deputies at a salary of S75 per month each payable by the county, as has been and Is the case in other counties having no larger business or revenue than Coconino county.
 second That although the said Recorder has since about the month Of August 1902. col lected and retained the fees for making certain abstracts of title and for certifying thereto, this bo rd has ascertaiued and determined that said Recorder has, during said time, actually paid out and expended for assistance and cler- ical help q sum equal to fl not in excess Of the fees SO collected and retained by him as atore- said, all Of which expense was legally chargea- ble to and payable by the county. That by req son Of the premises, the county is in as good, II not better condition, than if the Recorder had paid the fees allowed by law for making said abstracts and certificates into the treasury and the assistance properly allowable therefor had been paid for by the county.
 Third T hat the action Of the Recorder as aforesaid has ut all the times herein mentioned Dten sanctioned by the Board of Supervisors, and the said board and said Recorder have acted in the premis in good faith and the belief of the legality and equity of the matter; and.
 Whereas, It is in the judgment of this board for the best interests of the county and a mat ter of ju tice and equity that the said action so D ndug as aforesaid be compromised, and al the issues involved therein and herein men tioned be finally disposed of; therefore, be 1t
