COUNTY OFFICES.
Mrs. Margaret Zane W:tcher. county
clerk-elect, stated this morning that
the announcements made in some of
the morning papers OF appointments
made in her office We're wholly IN
authorized and incorrect. THE story
of a clash between the clerks office
and the county commissioners in the
matter OF appointments" said Mrs
Witcher, was absolutely without
foundation.
'I will further state continued Mrs.
Whether, that the appointments for
my office have not yet been completed.
and / am not yet prepared to announce
them"
The appointments to be made in the
office of county clerk consist Of a chief
deputy OF probate and chief deputy Of
civil division, and four court deputies.
The above named deputies will be men.
Then there is deputy for the com
smissioners' side and a deputy for the
clerks side Of the Office. and three
stenogTaphers. these positions being
filled By women.
