work and keep her permanently. All
the other help in the office seemed
to understand their work and to do
1t we'll. Miss Ruth Hilliard was
mentioned as one who had had q
thoro training in the abstract bust
ness and therefore knew the record
er's office work pretty we'll before
she came into the recorders office
and had worked in it for several
years and was able to handle the
work and take responsibility and
make good on it to an unusual de-
gree. Mr.. Moon said thoro pre-
paration for ones work and long
service with loyalty were worth a
great deal in offices like that and
people rendering good service in any
public position should be rewarded
with good enough salaries SO that
they could lay up some money, just
the same as people engaged in bust
ness expect to lay up something for
future.
Not Butting in
Eric Sundquist was ready to go
home and he said he did not want
to interrupt the other business, but
that while Colonel Fugate and he
were both there he wanted to inform
the new board that over in West
Firth where the road passes the
headgate of the Lavaside canal, the
river has been cutting in for several
years and has now got the road
trimmed down till it is quite mar
row and it is becoming dangerous.
There is curve in the road there
and the retiring board delegated him
to buy strip of ground to straigten
the road and to give more room
where the river is cutting in so close.
He had arranged for the purchase
of the required amount of ground for
5000 and it was now time to put in
the claim for the money and to make
out the deed. The party selling the
land had also arranged a sale of his
whole farm and the purchaser was
willing to stand by this other agree
ment for the purchase of the road
way and wanted it all fixed up to-
gether. 1t would be advisable to
send the county surveyor out so
they could &c the description right
to go in the deed and have every
thing made right in the records when
the money passed. Mr.. SundQuist
was asked if he could not arrange
with the. man selling the land to
move the fence himself, the county
paying for it, so that it would all be
paid for in one transaction. That
brought up the question of having
somebody to look after roadwork in
that district and Mr.. Sundquist said
he wuld like to know what plan the
board intended to pursue and ar
range with somebody to look after
the opening of this new strip of road
of few hundred feet as we'll as to
look after the rest of their roads.
That all brought on little road dis
cission and other matters waited.
When they got back again to Mr..
Moon, the auditor, the man who is
auditing the -.Agham county books
and who has audited in twenty-six
other counties of the state, he said
he had been looking over the official
bonds that had been filed to protect
the county for money deposited in
the various banks of the county and
he had found two of those bonds
wre faulty in that the seal of the
notary public had not been placed
upon the instrument and another one
was faulty in that two of the sureties
Of the bonds had not signed the
bonds. Also he said that two or
three different men had gone on a
number of different bonds and the
total of their liability might be more
than the amount they were paying
taxes on. He said he did not doubt
the ability Of cash of these bonds
men to make good on the bonds, but
