In the matter of the annual settle
ment of Arthur Huff, Clerk of the
County Court for the year ending
December 81, 1920.
Fees collected for the year 1920,
$2936.30 expended for deputy hire,
$1059; retained as salary for the year,
$3.50; excess fees in hands of county
clerk, 1927. 80. Clerk allowed to Q
tain from said total collection, $3.50
salary allowed him by law; also, the
$1059 deputy hire authorized by stat
ute and by the clerk found to be nee
essary. Excess fees in hands of coun-
ty clerk ordered to be paid into coun-
ty treasury.
1t appearing to the court that,
heretofore o-wit, in the years 1915,
1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919, by reason of
a misconception of the law, the coun-
ty court paid to Arthur Huff, Clerk of
this court for Deputy hire, the sum
of 100000 for each of said years, and
for the year 1920, the sum of $4,000
for the same purpose, said sums be-
ing paid out of the County Treasury
on warrants drawn by order of this
court upon the County Treasurr.
The court further finds that said
Clerk was legally entitled to employ
a deputy and to pay him for services
rendered the sum of $4,000 per
annum, but that the said deputy hire
should have been paid by the said
Clerk out of the fees received by him
as Clerk of this court, and should not
have been paid out of funds in the
County Treasurey.
The court further finds that the said
Clerk at the end of the years 1915,
1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919, paid into the
county treasury as the law directs, all
excess fees received by him for which
he holds the County Treasurers' re-
ceipts.
The court further finds that during
all the years aforesaid, 1915, 1916,
1917, 1918, 1919, and 1920, the CLERK of
this court has performed the duties
required of him to be performed &C.
cording to the provisions of Section
1880, R. S. 1909, and other duties pre-
scribed by Article 8, Chapter "a, R. s.
1909, and for which he was not al
lowed any compensation by the coun-
ty court as provided by Section 1902
of said Article 8, Chapter "a, r. S.
1909.
Therefore, it is ordered by the
court that the Clerk of this court be
paid the sum of 100000 per year for
the years 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919
and 1920, in all the sum of $4,000. 90, for
services performed as aforesaid for
said years, and the sum of $500. 90 be
deducted therefrom az an off set to
the amount heretofore paid out of the
county treasury for deputy hire, and
that a warrant for the sum of 10000
be drawn by the Clerk upon the
County Treasurer for the balance due
him.
1t is further ordered that the COM
pensation of the clerk of this court
for performing the services required
of him by Article s, Chapter "a R. s.
1909, for the year 1921 be fixed at
$500. 90 to be paid quarterly out of the
County Treasury on warrants proper
ly drawn upon the County Treasurer
therefor.
