/ Also Some Disappointed.
! There were some bitter disappoint-
| ments in the results as far as salaries
tare concerned. Mills county drops
! ba elk into lower classification for
the reason that the federal census OF
1910 credited the inmates OF the school
! for the feeble minded at GlenwOod, to
Mills county. The state census credits
| them to the counties from which they
were sent. Thus Mills dropped from
I5.Sl1 TO 1875
/ Officers Of Palo Alto were seriously
! disappointed also. They had. on d pre-
! liminary count. thought the county
went past the $1,000 mark which
would have entitled the officers to 800
raise in salary. But the official count
! Of the cards showed the county to have
Il 965-iust thrry-five short.
