laws, are regularly filed and County
Warrants issued in payment for
same, as other claims are paid,
which change has added some two
thousand additional claims and coun-
ty warrants to the list of extra
work, and increases the work of the
office some so per cent from this
particular source many other small
er sources of increased work of this
office might be mentioned, but the
surprising feature is that we find
all this increased work, together
with the routine and regular work
of the office being done with one
less clerk than was formerly employ
ed in the office, and with decrease
of 10 per cent in the total yearly
expenses of said office, which all 60
es to show that the tax dollar has
been made to earn as much as the
private dollar when applied to the
system of running this office, and
that this is not theoretical with this
official but is being put into actual
practice.
On the other hand we find that
mot only have the running expenses
of this office been materially reduc-
ed, as stated above, but we find the
receipts, or fees of the office, for
the three full fiscal years that this
official has served, shows a total ir-
crease of $2,065.O3 as compared
with the three years prior to his
term of office, or an increase in rev.
enues to the County from this office
in this period of almost Is per cent
and this we find has been accomp-
lished in the face of adverse legisla-
ton relative to the sources of fees
for the office, as we find the new
Revenue law provides no fees for
the redemption of Tax Certificates,
thus cutting off several hundred dol
lars that formerly came in as fees
to this office from said source; also
a change in the laws cut out the fee
for issuing State and County License
and deprives the County of a good
many dollars in fees that formerly
came through this office from said
source; it will thus be seen that the
showing of this office of an increase
of Is per cent in revenue to the
county, is all the more compliment
airy because of same being accomp-
lished under adverse conditions.
One can thus see, from actual
facts and figures given above, that
the expenses of this office have been
largely decreased, while the fees, or
revenue to the County, from said
: office have shown a large per cent
: of increase. 1t will be interesting
to note the business systems and
methods that have been worked out
by this official in order to accomp-
fish the results named. AS stated in
his former campaign, "his thorouhg
business training would be a valu-
able asset in conducting the work of
this Office, and we find that mn
mediately upon his assuming charge
of the office he begun to adjust the
workings of the office to these bust
ness methods; first we find him
changing the office hours and put
ting them as nearly as possible on a
basis with office hours of other bust
ness houses; the various Offices of
the County being regarded by him
as the County's place of business,
and the tax payers of the County
entitled to have the business of the
County conducted on the same econ
omical basis, and on the same bust
ness lines as other well established
places of business are conducted y;
cooperation and Interchange of
work from one department of this
office to the other has been effec-
lively worked out by this official,
and the most service for the least
expense was the motto adopted, with
watchful eye always on the
County's income from the office
efficient help and the careful select.
: ion of same has been another factor
in the efficient conduct of this office,
anu we lillu Ilidt Iillo olilCidi llds
personally, in addition to planning
and supervising the work in all de.
partments, taken his place in the
regular routine work of the office
always one of the first at his desk
in the morning and one of the last
. to leave in the evening, having nc
other interests in mind but his Of
fetal work, and being in position tc
give his undivided time and attent
ion to the work of the office, with
an untiring ambition to conduct the
office in an efficient way and at the
minimum Of cost for prompt anC
efficient service.
If service of this kind appeals tt
you, an appreciation of same can be
shown by giving this official a UNI
amino sunomintaion at the Primarie!
on September 1st., and if his name
