A Correction

Idesire to correct an error made
in publishing the proceedings of
the county board a short time
ago, in which it appears that
Joseph CHASER had drawn S4l5
for his services for the year 1907.
This should haye been S290.05 as
is shown by the records in my
office. Since the question Of
salaries has caused considerable
comment this statement is made
to correct the wrong impression
given in tins matter.
