ed by law), which often proves a great
convenience to people having business
in the Treasurer's office; and remains
at his desk Saturday afternoons when
by so doing he can be of service TO
county officers or employees.
90 For the first six months of his
service his salary was only 800
month. January LIST it was raised to
S12O a month by formal action of this
Board.
90 The clerk In the Office of the
County Sheriff has always received
$3.50 month for his services. his posi-
ton being not nearly so responsible as
that of the Treasurer's clerk, and no
bond required.
90 The salary of the clerk In the
office of the Honolulu Road Super
visor was s125 up to February list. when
it was raised to $3.50 without formal
action by this Board. This position Is
not nearly so responsible as that of
clerk in the Treasurer's office, and no
bond is required.
80 Other salaries in the Road De-
partment, the Electric Light Depart
ment, and the Department of Parks,
have recently been advanced without
formal action by this Board, and
believe without the knowledge of
majority of the Supervisors.
In view of all these facts I am in
favor of advancing the salary of the
Treasurer's clerk to $3.50 month. and
so recommend.
