legislature at Harrisburg, providing
that all county officers shall be paid
a salary, and that all fees collected
by them shall be turned over to the
county or state. The scale of salar-
les is fixed for counties having less
than $4,000, between $4,000 and
$4,000, and thence by each $4,000
up to 10000. These salaries are
to remain fixed until changed by act
of assembly and to take effect on
expiration of terms of present in
cumbents of county offices. In coun-
ties where one person holds the Of
flee of prothonotary and clerk of
courts or of recorder of deeds and
register of wills he is to receive the
salary for recorder or prothonotary
and $1,000 additional. If the bill
is made law it will mean a saving
of thousands of dollars each year
