No Clerk for the Treasurer Raises Dispute Over Salary Board Action
The court disapproved the salary board's decision to provide a clerk for the county treasurer at 880 per year. Mr. Greider, feeling unfairly treated, notes other county officers received clerical help. He will keep his clerk, his son-in-law, and contest the county's denial, arguing he is owed a commission on the state tax of about 1400 annually. He planned to contribute that amount to the county treasury if allowed.
