foe Go e CAPE MAY COUNTY

It has come to my knowledge that my. rolitical opponents ure attemptto make capital out of the alleged failure of the Count.: Clerk‘s office to pay for itself; in other words, to collect and pay in the county treasury as much money as it to pay Cor CEs miliar with thip&ige state of affaire no expunation is necessary; but for fenr that this propaganda may deceive the unthinking I deem it wise i ignore it. And peranswer to this criticism is to make public the following official correspondence. "Monmouth County Clerk‘s Office Freehold, N. J. August 23.1919. Hon. Thomas F, MeCran, Attorney General, ‘Brenton, N. J. My dear sit: For the past five years the Monmouth County Cletk‘s Office has . rendered services to the county which I think can be devided into five classes, and for which the office has neither been paid, nor has it received . any credit from the county: First: — Costs . in — Criminal in — connection with elections. Fourth:- Attendance as clerk in the various courts. Fifth :- Exemplified . coples furnished the Prosecutor. Priox to the repeal of the law which. gave all -the feee-to the clerk, — all these services. were paid for regularly by the county, Since this law was Board of Freeholders I y hns my office the fees | thus allowed my office. 1 would be glad to have your opinion whether or not such fees should be paid by the county te my office or not. Of course ali the money goes back immediately to the count Youre very. tru Joseph McDermott, In answer to the above letter the s follow "#I AM OF THE OPINION THAT YOU — ARE ENTITLED UNDER THE STATUTE TO COLLE SD — RECEIVE FROM THE COUNTY FEES FOR . SERVICES | RENDERKD TY AS CLERK, AND FOR THOSE SERVICES WHICH YOU HAVE DIVIDED INTO FIVE CLASSES .N YOUR LETTER OF THE 23RD ULTIMO. I think it makes little differ» ence however, how this is effect-

«; that is to say, whether you inwist that the county actually pay for the services and you return the money to the county, or whether you charge the county for such services and thereufter take credit . from the | county * therefor. 1 understand, for ex« ample, that this is the practice in. Camden county where between the county and County Clerk a debit and credit system in estab lished, und thus the Cierk obtains the full credit for the amount af the business done by his office Poa Yours very truly, p A co Ut Attorney General" m nneinne Adicninfiarenenidhivated in our county, where under the ralary system work is performed for the county by the Clerk‘s Office for which the office receives no credit amounting to at least $2,000.00 per year, which under the fee system the county would have had to pay. This sum is saved to the county, in addition to the money paid to the county by the Cletk‘s Office. 4 Another fact — overlooked b: would-be critics is the large inc ease in the cost of all books and supolies; to say nothing of the higher cost of living which had to be met by m slight increase in sali after losing several — of our trained employees. And on the other hund the fees, which mse fixed by law, have not been ingrearcd for many years.and in some canes are reduced. How manifestly unfair it is then to complain that one of the most important offices in the country: airing the last year of the great war, did not pay — into the County Treasury as much money as it cost to maintain ft. When if given full credit for all work | performed for the county it would alwass be shown to be more than nelfe sustaining, partlcularly in view . of the fet that with the exception of \the Tax Collector there is not another | office in — Cape M: Inunsikeded takes in more than it costs to run it. Does the Judge, or Prosceutor, or | ® hoo! Superintendent, or any other official collect mouth revenue to hei i Of course «oes not ‘und m not sube I jeet c them to criticism becanse of it, ! And . did. my Democratic opponent during the period he rin the Sheriff‘s | Office collect enough to pay one-half [tk running expenser? — And if not, | doen it behoove him to try to make you believe that he . could run the County Clerk‘s Office any more effi- | cleatly and economically than it has heen during my administration of it? It in for you to say, Mr. Voter. Respectfully, A. C. HILDRETH.
