In the pa:-.t. eouuty treasurers have received sa.la.ries of Sl'.DitO. Notwithstanding the inerease of on in Mr. Myriek : -.alary, he will not make as mucli money next year as he did the past year. The cause of this is the fact that, the ni passed by the lasr. legi.-Jature deprived the county treasurer of all his perquisites with the. lone exception of o per cent fees on all delinquent taxes. No longer will the county treasurers of the state receive ". per cent fees on fecpiestered and omitted taxes collected, or interest on county money deposited -with a hanking institution. The new act furnishes Mr. Myriek one relief - the reduction of his bond from jkjUnio to !:;0,0h. The county treasurer has to pay interest on his bond. The reduetiou in the bond of the county treasurer is the result of the deptitory law. Under this act Mr. Myriek is no longer held responsible for the county's money, except what, he handles from day to Ua.y.

The extra $" Mr. Coe receives is for Vus services as secretary of the county fcoard or finance. County Recorder Frank Mosbaugb will continue to receive his S2,0t)t per year. This is one of the most, important offices in the county but at ihe home time the recorder receives less money than any of his brother officials. Precedent has also made the office of county recorder a one term office. Mr. Mosbaugh hopes to b-eak Ihe precedent this year. He points to the fact that D. F. Sackett. the first recorder of Wayne county, took the office when Indiana was admitted to ihe Union, in IKlo" and that he held it for twenty-one consecutive years. Next year County Clerk Harry K. Penny will have continue his duties for the pittance of $;J,700. AH Sheriff Meredith will receive is $3,200. Some fees are also attached to this office. lUUIlU IllUUOnllUO j IN OLD TIN CANS Had Been Hoarded for Years And Was Unknown. Shelby ville. Ind..
