Petition
To the Honorable Board of SUI
pervisors of Audubon county, Iowa:
Gentlemen:
The state legislature Just closed
and passed law affecting the sal
aries paid the deputy county Off
Gals of this county, said law being
now in effect by publication.
Under the deputy county officials
compensation law now in effect, the
deputy sheriff is to be paid 65 per-
sent of the salary paid the principal.
while the law provides that the sal
aries to be paid deputy recorder,
clerk. treasurer and auditor shall not
be less than SO percent of that paid
the principal in that office, and not
to exceed the sum of $15OO.OO, the
maximum amount to be fixed by the
board of supervisors.
We feel that in view of the duties
performed by the various deputies
OF the county that all should be paid
according to the same wage scale as
that paid to the deputy sheriff. thus
liking the salaries of all the deputy
county officials at IS percent of the
salary paid to the principal in the Of
nee, and we respectively TASK the
honorable board of supervisors of
Audubon county. Iowa, to fix the sal
airy OF the deputy recorder, auditor,
treasurer and clerk at SIS percent of
that now paid the principal in those
offices, and as the law now provides
shall be paid to the deputy sheriff.
The present scale of wages paid
the deputy county officials in Audu-
BON county is low, and with the
present scale of cost of living, we
deem our request fair and equit-
able one, and which will meet with
the approval of majority of the
tax payers of the county.
Respectfully submitted.
