WANTS SALARY REDUCED.
Sheriff Bean of Jackson County, Sets
New Record.

JACKSON. Mich. Dec l4.-Sheriff
George r. Bean wants his Office put
on a salary basis and will take the
uc"",sary steps to this end at the
January meeting Of the board of super
vitO's
Mr. Bean is serving the third term
in his Office and although he has been
doing a good business under the fee
system he has always believed sal
airy preferable for compensation for all
peace officers. Although the constitu-
tiun prohibits a change of compensa-
tion during the term for which an off,
Ger is elected. Mr. Bean believes that
an understanding could be made with
the supervisors provided the, salary
agreed upon was less than the income
from the fees.
This is the first instance i'm the his.
tory OF jackson county. and probably
in Michigan, that an officer has asked
to have his compensation reduced. The
Job on a fee basis is believed 10 be
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Mr. Bean has been the most eff
cient sheriff jackson has ever had.
