There is an interesting discussion
among county officials regarding the
Office of county auditor in Chouteau
county, some of them claiming that
the Office is not abolished by the classi.
fcation bill passed by the ninth as.
sembly. The law creating the Office of
county auditor vas passed in 1891,
one of its provisions stating that an
auditor, must be elected in every our
ty havingsan assessed valuation ex.
ceeding IS, 1000, 600. The legislature Of
1895 passed a bill fixing the salaries
OF county officials, which made no pro-
vision for paying an auditor In coun.
ties OF the fourth class, 10 which
Chouteau county, with an assessment
exceeding Gil 900, 600 now belongs.
The matter is somewhat tangled up,
and requires a court decision to make
the stu alton less complicated.
