COMMISSIONERS
Of COUNTY FIX
Salaries NOV. #
This is the Duty Of the County Com
missioners Every Four
Years.

Next Tuesday will be salary fix
ing day for the county officers.
Every four years the salaries of the
county officers are fixed by the
county commissioners. 1t is under
stood that the salary OF at least one
official viii be raised fifty per cent,
that Of county Judge The salary
now is $1,000 a year, and it is pro-
posed to raise il to $500. 1t has
long been conceded by those familiar
with the duties Of the county Judge
and the great amount of work that
has been thrust upon that official
the past several years, that the sal
ary was not equivalent to the ser
vices required of him. The small
compensation received by Judge
Dewey, who has held this office for
the past sixteen years or more was
one of the reasons of his having de-
cided not to stand for reelection. He
had practically been promised that
the salary would be raised if he
would consent to stand for re-elec-
tion again, but he had already ac~
cepted the work for the city and as
sumed other duties in anticipation
of not making the race, and there.
fore the inducemeut nad no effect
upon his decision.

county commissioner, yesterday re-
'eived his credentials from Spring
