os.o,ntment OF Alex Baird as deputy
..ar;r but he felt that in this case
.oving could be made by assigning
~ Deputy Baird the duties OF driv-
,,g the county car. He said he was
IN favor of paying a salary of $3.50
I'D cutting out the auto driver, who
raeeiyes the same salary This
hropght up a long range of discus
zion and Commissioner Weber spoke
yery highly of Mr.. Brown. stating
that he felt he was the best auto
driver the county has ever had, and
vas at all times conscientious and
careful in his work. Commissioner
Gallagher, after some discussion,
moved the confirmation of Deputy
sheriff Baird, and fixing his salary at
s12b per month. This motion was
seconded by Commissioner Weber
and unanimously carried.
The appointment OF driver OF the
comfy car was next taken up, and
Commissioners Gallagher still held
the view that the saving could be
made by making the deputy sheriff
the auto driver. Chairman North
took the view that the auto driver
should be made a deputy sheriff and
thought there would then be need
for his services. He called Com
missioner Gallagher to the chair and
moved the confirmation of the APP
polntment of Fred Brown as deputy
sheriff and driver OF the car, fixing
the salary at $3.50 per month The
motion was seconded by Commits
sioner Weber and put to a vote.
Commissioners North and Weber vot-
ed in favor of the motion, while Com
missioner Gallagher voted against II
and II was declared carried.

ed and requested the appointment of
D B Bailey as deputy assessor. This
appointment was confirmed and the
salary fixed at $50 per month.

called attention to the fact that while
his office required a vast amount OF
clerical york by reaso OF the volume
Of business passing through the Of
fiee and the additional fact that he
Is ex-officio clerk OF the district
court, which requires the services OF
n man practically all the time.
still he said he had In the past been
given only one assistant in his office
and that at a salary OF s125 per
month. while the regular rate seem
ed to be $3.50. He said IL he were
given some assistance from the
court reporter be believed he could
still handle the work. but thought
he should be given more considera-
iion than in the past, or the same
consideration that the other officers
we're given. Commissioners CAL
lagher and Weber did not feel will
ing to allow any increasain the salary
now being paid and thereupon the
appointment of Miss O'Hare was
confirmed and the salary fixed at
s125. Mr.. Oldfeid then drew at
tention TO the fact than in the alb
sence of a court reporter. who had
heretofore rendered him assistance
In the court work. II would be ALSO
lntely impossible to handle the bus
mess of the Office with n assistant
and the commissioners agreed that
some provision would have to be
made along the same line.
District Attorney George A White

er in his Office at a salary of 800
per month. Commissioner Gallagher
again took up the question of com
