On account OF increased duties Of
the States Attorneys Office, a resolu-
ton should be adopted by your Board,
allowing the office at least $4,000 per
clerk hire. Also a resolution
authorizing the State Attorney to en-
ploy Special Agents to assist him In
Investigations under he. criminal sta
tute.
During the past two years several
hundred dollars has been saved by
o! making Investigations Of re-
ported violation of law. Nearly every
lay some person comes I'm the office
and wants some person prosecuted.
Investigation shows that about nine
out Of ten requests Of this kind are
not backed by competent evidence to
the commencement Of an &C
ion, and here Is where money Is saw
I'd by thorough investigation.
This being my last official report, l
'eel free in stating that the office un-
Ter the present law ia not second to
my in the County from a standpoint of
responsibility. In addition to other
over two hundred fifty Town
ship, School and County officers are
rec to. consult with the States Attor-
ley, and demand opinions from him
Ipon questions of law. This is their
privilege and the majority of them
ire well aware Of their, rights.
. In conclusion I beg TO say that my
experience with your Hon. Board has
rot been otherwise than pleasant. ]
eel certain that you have all worked
harmony with me for the interests
VI Hand County, and ] am sure that
'ou will not withhold your aid and
assistance from my successor.
Respectfully submitted,
John Pusey.
