The Board of County Commissioners
at their meeting of this date have ap-
pointed you as Inspector of the Board
of Registration in your precinct, the
first meeting of which will be held on
the 9th day of May, 1912. The law pro-
vides that the compensation of inspec-
tors shall be 81 LOO per day for the time
necessarily engaged in the discharge
of their duties, and the Attorney Gen
eral has ruled that the entire time
from five O'Clock a. m. to whatever
time shall be required to finish the
work of the day shall be counted as
only one day.
The Commissioners have instructed
however, that for coming to the Au-
ditors Office and qualifying and get
ting supplies and instructions, and
posting the notices as required of them
by law in each precinct, the inspectors
shall be allowed one days wages, and
also one day for returning the regis
tration books and blanks after each
meeting of the Board
You are kindly asked to acknowl-
edge the receipt of this letter by re-
turn mail On the enclosed postal card

ceptance of the appointment, or that
you can not accept, if for any reason
you can not serve. You will also indi-

card for convenience of checking.
The Board of Commissioners request
that you secure suitable room in
which to hold the sessions of the

practicable the same room should be
secured for each session of the Board

spirituous, vinous, malt or other intox-
icating liquors are kept or sold. The
commissioners also recommend that
where practicable the rooms usually
used for holding elections should have
the preference, and where not practi-
cable the places selected should be as
centrally located and as easy of ac-
cess as can be secured.
The price for room rent including
light, fuel and table and chairs for the
per day for one day sessions and where
the Board is required to remain in ses-
sion more than one day the price shall
