HuERFAN0 OBJECTS
TO PAYMENT Of
SPECIAL OFFICER

Whether or not Hurrfano county
IL legally bound under the statute
,o pay it, portion OF ih" salary oi
Jack McQuarri-. special officer n'
the .iisirict attorneys office II =
point that Judge Iriicrdfi" of til.
dls,ric, court will have To decide.
This question was raised In court
this morning by senator Thomas
Hayden of Wals.nburg. who repre-
scented the board OF county commis-
sioncrs of Hu"rfano. which board
has held M u b!l! for three months
salary of Jack Mc0narri".
The controversy is simply oucS-
ton OF Interpreting the language Of
the statute which Is declared TO be
ambiguous The contention OF Sen.
'ntor Hayden is that the statute does
no, provide for the payment OF u spc.
cIal officer in counties under second
class anil that the language Of the
statute only requires the county to
pay its rortion of the salary OF the
district Attorney tStcnoGraphc
District Attorney Hendrick and Dep
'uIy y. NJ Ralslon took an opposite
,itw in their understanding OF tn"
statute.
rhc statute referred to. appearing
on page $40 of the Session Laws o.
Colorado. 1907. is quoted literally
as follows;
section =. That in each county
of the second class in this state COM
pricing judicial district. or part
oi a judicial district. The District At
,orncy in and for such judicial dis
trict IL hereby authorized and en-.
powered to appoint a special OFFICER
a, n salary of not to exceed Sl.'o"
per annum. payable monthly. and in
his district he is authorized and en-
powered to appoint stcnographer
n, n salary OF $1,000 per annum.
payable monthly. which shall! be paid
by the several counties OF his district
in equal portions"
The wording of the section of stat.
lutte appears to he clear that the coun-
tics of the district shauld share the
cost of special officer. The district
attorney may contend that the COM
ma after the word monthly" as 1t
refers to the salary of special officer
causes Il construction of the statute
that the counties pay proportion of
salary of both special officer and
,tenogra phcr. but Senator Hayden
contends that the las, para graph or
sentence refers only to payment q
steuographor. incidentally Senator
Hayden argues that Las Animas
county being the only second class
county in the district should pay the
entire amoint of the special officer 8
salary.
Under this statute District Attor-
|ncy Hendrick appointed McQuarrit
last January. No protest has como
from Bara. Bent. or Prowcrs coun-
ties. The Hucrfano commissioners
meet quarterly ana at the meeting In
April held up the bills for the salary
of the special officer and will hold
them mp until the point is settled by
decision.
