Graham County Will Probably Reach The Top of the Ladder.
MORE THAN THREE MILLION ON ROLL.
Comparative Table of Salaries in First And Second Class Counties.
That Graham county will enter the first-class column this year is now beyond any reasonable doubt.
The assessable property necessary for a first-class county is $3,000,000. It is quite probable that by the time all assessments are adjusted by the Board of Equalization nearly a quarter of a million more than that amount will be on roll.
In the event that we become a first-class county the increase in salaries will amount to $4950. It will be noticed that the duties of clerk of the Board will not be performed by the Recorder and that Superintendent of schools will not be ex-officio of Probate Judge This will prove of great benefit.
The Probate Judge's office should be occupied by an attorney and that of School Superintendent by a school man.
Following is a comparative table of salaries paid. Becoming a first class county does not affect the sheriff's pay:
Second-class. First-class.
Treasurer $1800 $2200
District Attorney 1750 2000
Recorder .. 1800 2000
Assessor .... 1500 2000
Probate Judge. 1200 1200
Supervisor.... 800 1000
Clerk of Board 600 1500
School Supt.. 1500
