Although the law specifies that constables can be elected to serve papi rs for the city and circuit courts, the two constable spots m Clearfield and Layton have never been filled. The constables are paid based on the number of papers that they serve In most cases the courts and attorneys rely on sheriffs deputies to serve papers and so the county constable post is rarely filled. The Bountiful spot is the only constable position in the county that is presently filled, according to Mr Walker If only one candidate files for the constable spot and is not opposed by a write-icandidate, the person is automatically elected.
