Anent the proposition to abolish the
ONCE of county treasurer, a well in
formed gentleman says it would be a
mistake to abolish 1t, that every fra
tcrnal order every corporation, every
organized municipality finds the office
of treasurer indispensable to the proper
and safe conduct of business. This
gentleman argues that the sensible
thing to do is to merge the office Of
county tax collector into that of the
treasurer, and he gives good reasons
for his contention. He should publish
his views on the subject in his home
paper, which is the Fort Myers Press.
