County Clerk Office Cuts Costs and Increases Collections
Under Percy F. Thomas the county clerk's office trimmed salary expenses by 2264 dollars last year despite a wage rise for workers. Office efficiency and better organization reduced the need for special hires. Preparation of jury qualification lists cost 2940 dollars in 1917, down from 5770 the prior year, while total fines and collections rose to 1890.35 dollars. Civil case filings decreased, likely due to wartime effects.
