William J. Archbold, city treasurer, also county treasurerelect, is heartily in iavor of the same; that is, provided it is done so that some higher official body cannot come along after you have the work all done, say that the raise is illegal, and make you pay it track. That is just what he hits experienced, and besides losing the money which he thinks he fully earned, he is kept busy explaining things so that the public will not think he is at fault Some time ago, as his work was increasing with the passing of the years, the ri’jr council raised his salary, upon his request When the state accountants finished their work here, examining his records with the others and reported to headquarters, the matter of the raise in his salary was declared illegal, in that the raise was not made at the proper time in his term, by the city council. As he had already drawn the salary and the raise by the time’ the accountants' report was made, they declared that he had overdrawn, and charged him with the amount of the raise, which he was obliged to pay back, although he had done the work and had been accorded the higher salary by the eity council. Had the increase been given at the proper time, it would probably have been even larger. Yes, he thinks an increase of salary is all right, if ft is not taken away again, after you do the work, WILLIAM ADLER ARRIVES HOME. Toured The West, For Nearly Seven Weeks and Had a Dandy Good Time William Adler arrived home last evening after a long journey through the west.
