Rice, treasurer, A. c.. Haag, probate
Judge, ID. B. J~effries, sheriff and Paul

Whereas, at the time of the creation
of the county, owing to the fact that
Power county was created from four

organization work must pass through
the prosecuting attorneys hands, the
salary of the prosecuting attorney
was set at twelve hundred (~S1200.00)
dollars per year, until the July meet

ton.
Whereas, the county is now entirely
organized and the work of said office
has beer lessened.
Whereas, there has been created out
of a portion of Power county, a high
way district thereby l%essening the
duties of the prosecuting attorney.
Whereas, the county commissioners
at the April meeting, a meeting prior
to the creation of said highway dis
trict, believing they had authority
then to act, reduced the said salary
, to 100000.
Whereas, the said July meeting
) should be the meeting for such mat
; ter.
Now therefore, be it resolved that
the salary of the prosecuting attorney

which an incumbent VIII be elected
in November, 1914, be reduced to
seven hundred and fifty ($750.00) dol
, lars. and the same is hereby set for
