Then Mr.. Kelly gave an account OF
the situation in Connecticut
He said: wv. j. Bryan says

become of the men out of work Taft
says God knows" Mr.. Foraker has

Joseph Colling, OF Hackensack, was

FOR BOARDING PRISONERS.

Judge Evans handed down an
opinion Monday, in which he
decides that the county cannot pay
Sheriff Ent more than IS cents a
day for boarding prisoner.
On August 5, 1907 the commits
sioners fixed the rate at rs cents,
and on November 9TH this was
changed to IS cents, on application
of the Sheriff, it appearing that the
cost of board had increased. AS
this action had to be approved by
the court, it was submitted to Judge
Evans, who finds that under the
constitution, and in accordance with
the decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Apple VS.. Crawford
County, los Pa. 800, the emolu-
ments of public officer cannot be
increased or diminished during his
term of office.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

The almost unanimous reelection
on the first ballot, of William w.
Evans as County Superintendent
for the next three years, is a we'll
deserved compliment to an ener-
getic and thoroughly competent
public official. Mr.. Evans is an
enthusiast on education, and with
out intending any disparagement
to any of his predecessors. he is
generally considered to be the best
superintendent the county has ever
had.
Mr.. Evans has devoted all of his
time, his energies, and his abilities
to the advancement and betterment
of the schools. He has spent hun
dreds of dollars of his salary in the
publication of the School Journal
and the "Bulletin" in order to
keep in close touch with the teach
ers, the directors, and the patrons
of the schools. For several years
past he has given two months of
his summer vacation to the Benton
Summer School, without compen-
sation, in order that teachers who
were unable to attend a higher pre-
paratory school might have advant-
ages that they could not otherwise
enjoy.
His intelligence, his energy, his
devotion to his duties. all combine
to make him The highly satisfactory
official that he is, and the directors
of the county have acted wisely in
retaining bim.
The action of the Directors Con-
vention has settled the fact that the
Office of County Superintendent is
not a two-term Office, and also the
further fact that to them the Ben
ton Summer School is not an OBJ
jectionable institution.

SETTLED WITH LEONARD.

H. B. Leonard, superintendent of
construction of the Catawissa river
bridge, had a claim against the
county for $24eS.oo with interest
from April II, 1906. The commits
sioners have refused to pay it, be-
cause it was exorbitant, and be-
cause the work which he superin-
tended was defective. However it
would have been expensive to fight
it in the Dauphin county court, and
the commissioners concluded to
settle it if possible, and so on Sat-
urday they effected a compromise
for $4,000.
Mr.. Leonard was appointed sup
erintendent of the construction of
the bridge by the Board of Public
Buildings and his compensation was
fixed at 3 per cent. of the cost Of
construction which was SI24, 600,
under the Act of April FL, 1908,
which provides that counties shall
pay the fees and expenses of super
intendents of bridges built by the
state for the counties.
The bridge was completed May
II, 1906, and thereupon Mr..
Leonard presented his claim against
the county for $24eS. The county
resisted the payment on the grounds
that by reason OF the neglect Of
Leonard, the floor of the bridge had
not been completed according to
specifications. Therefore Leonard
started proceedings in the Dauphin
county court to collect his claim.
