Flanagan, '.7ilson Stewart and L.nery Hess for salary as deputy sheriffs from the 14th day of Janaary, 1913, to the lst day•of April, 1913, the same being the amount involved in the case of Thomas vs V1hatcom County. According to the decision in that case, it is now necessary for the defendant, Vrtfs.tcom County, to answer and go to trial upon the merits of the case • or E12.- pa.y this bill. Under the decision rendered there is bit one defense left for the county and that would be the invoking of Sec. 3907, Rem. & Bal. Code; which provides that: "No deputies or assistance of any kind shall be allowed any person receiving compensation from the county unless the same is necessary. No higher compensation from a county shall be allowed for any deputy of, or assistance for, such officer or person :than is necessary. No other expenditure for or connected. with such officer or person, or his office or employment, or th.e performance of his official duties, or any of them than shall be necessary. In case the payment of any fee or fees is required for the performance of any -duty of such officer or person, the total amount allowed and expended by any Board of County Commissioners, on account of, or connected with such person or officer, his office or employment, or the performance of the duties thereof, including the salary alloyed by lave -to such officer or person, shall. not exceed the amount of the legal fees collected on account of such office or employment in the performance of the duties thereof; provided however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to the office of county attor- ney; provided further, that the fees properly chargeable to counties .shall be included in the total of the earnings of such offices." I am of the opinion that under that section the county probably has a successful defense. However, since the rigid enforcement, of that statute would greatly hamper the effectual work of the sheriff's office, and since the larger portion of these deputies' salaries has been paid on the recormienda.tion of. the grand jury, and since the people -by their votes have indicated that they desire this salary paid, I wn not disposed to pursue J W.O.R. Record ®f Commissioners' Proceedings October Term Saturday the 7th day November 191 4 that course that could add further expense in the way of doubtful litigations. Therefore, believing that it is for the 'nest interests of Vlhatcom County, under all the circumstances, that these salaries be paid, I have by any hand O.K'd. the same, and recommend that they be approved and allowed by you. Very respectfully, Frank V1. Bixby County Attorney. -- ------ 000---------- In the hatter of the Cancellation. ) of 1912 and 1913 Tax on Real Estate ( Order Cancelling. held by G.

The -Board finds that due and legal notice of this hearing was duly published pursuant to law and the resolution passed by this Board on the llth day of December, 1914. C.J. Laube appeared before the Board in person and his attorney, Thos. B. 1.1aters, and filed wkitten objections to the apportionment of costs and expenses made against the real estate owned by. C.J. Laube in said District, as returned ,by the board of appraisers. In said written objections and in oral statements made by the said C.J. Laube, the contention is made tii.at the said real estate is not benefited by said improvement, and that said prop- erty should not be assessed,or taxed to pay for the same. �✓Ld Record -of Commissioners' Proceedings January Term Tuesday the 12th day January 1915 H.H. Laube appeared before the Board and orally objected to the apportionment of the said costs and expense assessed against the real estate owned by him in said, District, for the reason that under the terms and agreements and the covenants contained in the deed of right-of-way executed by the said H.H. La.ube and •;rife, granting right-of-way to `/hatcom County, 'dashing ton, for the use and benefit of said Drainage ,Improvement District, the said real estate was not to be assessed or taxed for the making.of said improvement. H.S. Bishop appeared before the Board and objected to the amount of the apportionment made against the property owned by him in said District, by the said. board of appraisers, claiming that the same was excessive and not a fair apportionment. John Rudy, Egbert Field, H.K. Russell and Tars. Effie Jones appeared before the Board, and made no objection to the mount of the assessment apportioned against the real estate owned by them. The Board, after hearing said objections and the evidence offered by the respective oarties, thereupon, as provided for by law, carefully proceeded to exmiiine and consider said schedule of apportionment and the objections filed and, made thereto, but 'ieing unable to, complete the said examination on this day, this hearing is hereby adjourned until monday, January 18, 1915, at the hour of 10 o'clock A.M.

The Board, after further considering the objections ma.de,^ M?y C.J.Laube, and being fully t' advised in the premises, .finds that said objections are'�weil taken, and the same are here- by overruled. The Board finds that the apportionment of the costs and expenses of said improvement made against the real estate owned by C.J. Laube in said district is not a fair, just and equitable apportionment; that it should be in the sum of J;180.40 but that the said C.J. Laube is entitled to a credit on said apportionment in the amount of 4120.00 in consideration of the execution of a quit -claim for right-of-way made by H.H. Laube. After deducting said credit, the amount of said costs and expenses apportioned against the property of the said C.J. Laube is the sum of $160.40. In considering:.t.he objection made by H.H. Laube, the Board finds that the apportion- ment of the costs and expenses of said improvement made against the real estate belonging to him in said district, is a fair, just -and equitable apportionment, but that the said. H.H. Laube is entitled to a credit on account of a strip of land over and across his pre- mises, conveyed to the County for the use and benefit of said drainage improvement distri6 by said H.H. Laube, in the full amount of said apportiorDnent. The Board finds that all other objections made to the,said schedule of apportionment are :without merit, and the same are hereby overruled. The Board, after making said findings and fully considering said sebed.izle' of appor- tionment, made changes and modifications in the schedule of apportionment as returned by the board of appraisers, in conformity with thle above findings, and also made certain other changes and modifica.tians in said schedule, and then -caused the Clerk of the Board to enter thereon all such changes and modifications and re -apportionments. After finally determining that the apportionment as changed and modified by the Board was a fair, just and equitable apportionment, and that the proper credits were entered thereon, all of the members of the Board signed the said schedule a.nd caused the Clerk of the Board to attest their signatures uneLer his seal, as provided by law. The said final apportionment and all proceedings leading thereto and. in connection th.oreviith are hereby approved. The Board further finds that on the 6th day of April, , 1914, after due and legal hear- ing was had as provided for by law, this Board made an order that the costs of said improue ment should be paid by warrants; that the assessments should be payable in annual install- ments,. as follows: First year 10�; Second year 20% Third year 20% Fourth year 25a Fifth year 25 0 and that the costs of the improvement should be paid by assessments upon the property benefited, such assessments to bear interest :from date of issuance until paid at the rate of 8/o per annum; that said warrants bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum; that the 494 Record of Commissioners' Proceedings January Term ,a�onday the 18th day Ja.nua.ry Ih1 5 said improvement is fully completed and'has been accepted by the County Engineer, and, pursuant to orders of this Board, warrants bearing 8% per annum from date have been duly issued to pay for the said improvement and other expenses connected therewith.
