and caustic comment.
Public interest demands that each county ohciM
shah have enough clerks keep the records up to

clerical capacity is important factor In oher Worus
one clerk cannot do tho work of two or three clerks
and he should not be expected TO perform such task
He should be expected to give fair days work IN re-
turn for the money he receiyesno more and no less
When he has done that, he has done all the pupn0
may reasonably expect of him.
And yet the policy adopted by tho Levy Court Is 10

luce the clerical force below the size required by the
work in hand that is demanding immediate attention
