AT the last October term of the Fiscal
Court an order was entered providing
for the general indexing of all the deeds
in the County Clerks Office, except
commissioners deeds, and the order
provided that County Judge Norman
should employ a competent man to do
the work. The last official act of
Judge Norman, on December 81, was
the employment of attorney Claude
Mercer to do the work.
The contract entered into with Mr..
Mercer provides that the work should
be done in the modern approved way,
and that he should be paid reasonable
sum for his work.
The Fiscal court as it is now consti-
tuted, has from the start, for several
reasons, opposed and objected to the
contract. 1t has never learned exactly
what the term modern approved may"
meant or what "a reasonable sum for
the work" would be.
After consulting with Mr.. Mercer it
was learned that the indexing system
as ased by the official indexer of Jeffer-
son county, is 1.-THE modern approved
way" and that the cost of the job
would be any where from three TO four
