There being some controversy as to the number of hours which shall constitute a day for the members of the registration board, Louis Bowman, county auditor, recently wrote to Thomas M. Honan, attorney-general for an opinion.
In a letter received yesterday afternoon by Auditor Bowman, the attorney-general says that the registration law does not state the number of hours which constitutes a day's work for members of the board.
The letter is as follows:
"Your letter of the second inst. at hand. The registration law does not state what number of hours shall constitute a day. Neither does the election law state what number of hours shall constitute a day. Our supreme court has decided in the case of the pay of jurors that 24 hours constitutes a day's work. The registration law states that registration officers shall be paid at the rate of $4 per day for the time necessarily engaged in the discharge of their duties."
