Richmond, Va, July 28.-Nobody
knows what the fee officers Of Rich
mond and of the State draw for their
services. There are no official records
from which the information can be
obtained. The salary of the Governor
of the State is fixed in the Constr
tuition at $4,000. The jailor of the
city of Richmond draws out OF the
State Treasury over $1OO per day
He pays his own deputies and. buys
food for the prisoners, so that no
one knows what the office is worth. A
stammering bridegroom pays 81 to
the Clerk of the Hastings Court Tor
his marriage license. The State gets
nothing. The dollar goes into the
Clerks pocket. Unless the Court
Clerk keeps a private memorandum
of their receipts from all sources,
which is not required to be kept, there
is absolutely no record, official or un-
official, of what such officers receive
from the public.
For years there has been not
able reticence on the part of the larg-
er fee officials as to letting any one
know what they get. The statement
inlade in the current campaign that
single fee officers are drawing more
than the local salaries Of the 1--WE
Judges of the Court Of Appeals
seems to be borne out by the last re-
port of the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, which shows payment for the
board of prisoners in the Richmond
iail, clothing, etc, practically all OF
which went to City Sergeant John l..
Satterfeld, of ,8S91S. Even at that
it was less than the city sergeant of
Norfolk drew. Apparently he was
more successful in keeping his pris-
oners from being sentenced to the
roads.
CITY Treasurer James B. Pace
draw a flat salary of S2,04O from the
city. the city providing in addition
for all clerks on the city side. The
State fees paid Mr.. Pace in 1912
amounted to SIS 5,545.48, out of which
he pays the deputies employed on the
State side of his Office.
The salaries of the officers of Rich
mond are as follows:
Mayor George Ainslie, $4,000.
CITY Treasurer James &. Pace, sal
ary from city, S2,O4;fese from state
s15,545.4s.
