Show COUNTY OFFICERS NOW ARE OVERWORKED There is a movement on foot among ' some of the count' olliccrs, who think j they arc doing more than they are paid I for, to close all the county oilices Sal- 1 urday afternoon and thereby secure a : half-holiday oach week. To do this the j legislature "will have to be appealed lo. and it is generally understood that this ; will be done. 1 The county offices several years ago ! were allowed to close Saturday afternoon, after-noon, but this resulted in considerable inconvenience, besides the accumulation , and delay of important business, and the legislature was appealed to to pass ' a law requiring the offices of the coun- j ty clerk, auditor, sheriff, recorder, treasurer and attorney lo remain open until 5 o'clock every "afternoon, except on Sundays, in towns and cities of a population of 20,000 or more, which applied ap-plied lo Salt Lake City, of course. It would hunlly be practicable to close 1 1n; i-oiinty clerk's and the slier-ilV's slier-ilV's offices Saturday afternoon, but it might be possible lo close the other county offices then without much difficulty diffi-culty or inconvenience. |
