COUNTY ATTORNEY QUITS
Davis County Officer Will Enter
Banking House at
KaysVille.

Pennington. MAY 6.-The board of coun-
tv commissioners were in session here
TODAY The resignation of Thomas II.
Phillips as county attorney was presented
to the board and accepted, to take eff
feet May 20 Mr.. Phillips was elected
to the position last November on the
Democratic ticket, and it is understood
that his reason for reSigning the office
at this time is that he has accepted a
portion with the Barnes Banking COM
pany of Kaysville, and his new duties
will not permit him to devote sufficient
time to the duties of the county office.
No action was taken by the commits
siOners as to Mr.. Phillips successor. The
retiring officer has served his constltu-
ents well and faithfully through many
wears of public life in variety of po-
sitions and he carries with him into
private life the esteem and confidence
of all the people
County Superintendent OF Schools E.
NJ Wbitesides presented TO the board
TODAY an estimate of the amount that
will be required for the support of the
county schools during the school year
of 19O7-CS The segregated amounts are
as follows: Salaries of sixty teachers,
SOS. $50; salary of superintendent, $500;
county institute expenses, 800; office eX-
penses of superintendent, $2l5; total, So
The annual report of the county as
SCISSOR was gratifying in that it shows
a substantial increase in the assessed
valuation of Davis county property. In
round figures this increase amounts to
$4,000. The total this year, not incIud-
ing railroad and telegraph and telephone
lines. is S3.7S5S55. If the railroads are
assessed this year at the same rate as
last year, which was S914944, this will
bring the total assessment for 1907 to
81. 700. 1873. The belief is however, that the
extension of the Salt Lake & Ogden line
and the increase of telephone mileage in
the county will materially increase the
assessment of those properties. The show
ing is considered a good one. for the
reason that the increase is due, not to
a raise in valuations. but TO the growth
of the Industrial interests of the county.
Farley A. Anderson today resigned his
position as deputy sheriff and will take
up more peaceful life in kaysville. The
vacancy was filled by the appointment of
Warren D. Rose as deputy sheriff. jailor.

An important petition was presented to
the commissioners today asking that the
county be declared one school district
by Superintendent F. NJ. Whitesides who,
after a careful consideration of the mat
ter. and an investigation of the work
ings of tho system in Weber county,
has arrived at the conclusion that the
educational interests of this county de-
mand that the county be made one dis
trict The petition presented TO-DAY was
signed by some of the leading citizens
of the county. The commissioners took
the matter under advisement till their
