clerks in the various offices at the
Knox county court house were fixed
Monday by the commissioners. The
law provides that prior to November
90, the officials Of the various offices
must make application to the county
commissioners for the amount neces.
sary for deputy and clerk hire for the
ensuing year. The commissioners can
allow 30 per cent on the first $4,000
that the office earns and 40 per cent on
the next $4,000 that the Office earns.
The following are the amounts asked
for by each official and the amounts
allowed by the commissioners:
Probate Judge-Amount asked for
1880; amount allowed $1,12O.6S.
Treasurer Amount asked for
$2.50O; amount allowed $1,5S6.3O.
Sheriff-Amount asked for $1,000;
amount allowed $623.66.
Clerk of Courts-Amount asked for
$1.1O0; amount allowed $771.O3.
Auditor--Amount asked for $3.50;
amoutn allowed $1,682.78.
Recorder-Amount asked for 1915;
amount allowed $946.91.
The amoutn asked for by the county
auditor was rather high on account of
the fact that under the new law all
the expenses Of the assessors must be
paid for in the county auditors office.
The amount asked for by the treas
urer was also rather high. This is due
to the fact that Treasurer Bell will
soon put on an extra man to collect
the delinquent personal tax. This tax
has not been collected for many years,
and Treasurer Bell will put on an ex-
ira man who will devote his entire
time in collecting this tax.
If the amount allowed by the COM
missioners is not sufficient to pay the
salaries of the deputies and clerks
then the officials can go into common
pleas court and ask for sufficient funds
to carry out the expenses of the Of
flee, but they cannot ask for sum
greater than the amount they asked
for when they petitioned the commits
siOners.
