weeds to grow along the tracks. Instead of keep
ing the track clear OF weeds by cutting them. :he
section men are instructed TO allow them to grow

company spends 10000 each year in cutting weeds
and, incidentally keeping soil worked so that winds
catch the dust. Wherever weeds have been al
lowed to grow dust has never troubled. and this

ments of these offices become reports say that It
is not unusual for of the clerks to receive in
a wear from times much as the sal
airy of a Judge. The Record Herald shows that
the clerk of the Supreme Court nets from s25 900
TO $4,000 a year while in the Appellate Court the
fees run up TO $4,000 The Bar Association de-
mands that the offices be placed on a salary basis

tempt good men to take the places.
