for men in responsible positions;
common labor from $3.50 to SO, and
skilled labor all the way from SO to

meating every part Of the city. A
modern sewer system was installed in

sufficient for city of $4,000 popula-
ton and gives every sanitary advan-

the coast

the city, the express or most modern
system Of telephones being in use.

tricity which the city may receive

over plant is one of the largest on
he Pacific coast.

the railroad offices, and all the busi-
ness lines in the city operate deliveries
to every part of the city.

WILL COMPETE WITH All SIN
Laundryman Reduces His Prices Be
cause the Chinese Are Doing
the Work Cheap.

Marion. Ind, Dee. Il. ~ Frederick
Druley, proprietor of a steam laundry
in this city, has reduced his prices
from the scale which has long been
maintained by Marion laundrymen
without written agreement. Druley
says he has been compelled TO reduce
prices owing to the strong competition
of the Chinese laundrymen, three
laundries of the city being operated
by the Orientals and all doing work
cheaper than the native laundrymen.
Though the cut in prices made by
Druley is small, it is regarded as an
intimation that the native laundrymen
will take some action to compete with
the Chinese, and a meeting of the
Laundrymen's association may be
called soon. Thus far the Druley
laundry is the only one to cut rates.

Noblesville, Ind. Dec II. = In an
opinion given TO the board of commits
sioners County Attorney W r. eFrtig
held that county surveyor is not
entitled to an allowance Of So a day
for keeping his office open. Fertig also
said that no surveyor should receive
an extra allowance for deputy hire.
He contends that the law provides only
for fees and sets out specifically just
how much the surveyor must charge
This opinion will attract attention
throughout the state in view of the
fact that in three-fourths Of the coun-
ties in Indiana the custom of allowing
the surveyor deputy hire and SO per
diem for Office work has prevailed for
many years.

1t is alleged that County Surveyor
II. L. Findley, who Will retire from
office in a few days, and ex-Surveyor
J. A. Mitchell have each received about
$1,000 in extras to which they are not
entitled. according to the opinion Of
Fertig, and the commissioners may
seek to recover the money through the
courts if no settlement can be reached
The opinion of Fertig follows: "Hav-
ing at the request Of the board Of com
missioners, examined the question of
per diem Of the county surveyor for
self and deputy, I wish to say in my
opinion there Is no statute authorizing
the allowance Of claims Of that char
acter, and that the appropriations for

Practice Is Not Justified.
II am Informed by the present sur
veyor that the practice Of allowing
per diem for general Office work pre-
walls generally over the state, especial
" in counties where the business Of
the office is large but l am not aware
of any decision in the lower courts
sustaining such a practice. And l am
quite sure it has not been approved by
the supreme court, no cause, to my
knowledge, having been taken to that
court to test the question.
Statutes Specify the Fees.
''The various statutes governing the
board in the allowance Of claims and
the statutes specifying the services re
quired of the surveyor and the fees
allowed therefor-to which it is not
necessary here to refer in detail -
seem to be 50 explicit as not to leave
