ITO the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners OF Madison county, Ne
braska, John Malone, Burr Taft and
Henry Sunderman:
II, VIM. Bates, county judge Of said
county, hereby state to said honorable
board, that | or any average ordinary
person cannot perform the duties in
the Office of the county Judge as re-
CURED by law without clerical help,
therefore should there be any fees
earned in excess of fifteen hundred
dollars during the year 1908, | ask to
be allowed to retain the same for clerk
hire, but not to exceed the sum OF
three hundred dollars for the year.
II also ask that the excess fees for
the year 1907, as reported, be allowed
for clerk hire; that the fees have been
earned by me and the work was in pro-
portion to the fees earned, and the
clerk hire was necessary in order to
perform the duties of the Office as the
law requires, and l have had such
clerical help. II l did not ask the
board for such an allowance at the
commencement Of the year 1t was be-
cause they had stated to me in Janu-
airy, 1906, that any excess not to ex.
coed two hundred dollars per year |
would be allowed to retain, and fur
thermore as there was no excess, but
a deficiency, in the year 1906, did
not expect the work would so increase
in the year 1907, as to make an excess.
Il ask that record be made Of this
application and of the boards action
thereon.
Dated this 10th day of January,
1908.
