CiiAiu.KH (jinns, Chairman.
Supervisor J lowlaud Introduced the fol.
Inwlnir resolution, which was adopted :
i;.'.,,litL That Inasmuch as La Salle
conntv Is more directly Interested than
almost any other portion of the state in the
inn nfunancn ana 1 llliroveineni oi me
Illinls and Mtclilzun Canal, a mass meet
Intr be called tn intfet here In the supervia
ors' room, at 1 o'clock p in, Thursday,
henteinber 'J'.ith. to appoint delegates to
meeting to be held at l'eorla October 11th,
in the interest or tlie at)ove ottjeci. i nai
a committee of three be appoiuted to draft
resolutions and brlni; the matter promi
nently before the public and give notice of
sni 1 meeting.
The chairman appointed Supervisors
Howlaud, Dwyer and Gallagher as such
cumiulttee.
On motion of Supervisor Lewis the
board adjourned until 8 o'clock to-morrow
morning.
Patchday, Sept. 17, 1887.
Hoard met pursuant to adjournment.
l'repent same as yesteruay.
The record of yesterday sessions was
read and approved.
Supervisor Mclntyre here took the chair.
Supervisor Ulbbs offered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
lUmdcfd, That the committee to settle
with county agent be instructed to audit no
bills against the county except such as ar
personally contracted by said ayent.
Supervisor Morton submitted the follow
ing report, which was adopted:
Mr. CltairmiH, dr.: In view of the adop
tion of the rejxirt of your committee to
settle with the sheriff, circumstances bikI
a conscientious discharge Dt my duty and
justice to myself compel me to inform you
of my course in the future which necessity
will compel me to pursue. You will see
by my reM)rt that the traveling expenses
exceed the allowance by $:tOU W, cash ex
pended and advanced to the county. There
has also been ifl.V4.41 cash expended. This
amount Is made up of Items for conveying
the Insane to Elgin and Kankakee, prison
ers to Jollet and the reform school, de
pendent and deserving subjects to the In
dustrial schools, iic , and of current ex
penses, such as telegraph, telephone, post
age, itc. These charges have heretofore
been paid as regular curreut expenses of the
ofllce and not embodied in these rejiortB.
There has also been expended for deputies
and bailiffs in excess of idlowances $:iL0 lid.
This makes a total of $772.80, advanced by
me to conduct the business of La Salle
county. I'nder a decision of the Supreme
Court, I am Informed by legal counsel and
by the chairman of your committee, If I
in the discharge, of my duties as sheriff
exceed in expenses for the olllce the
amount collected by the ofllcer, the county
cannot be held renponslble for the same.
Realizing this fact, 1 present this commu
ideation and deem it my duty to inform
the board that I shall be obliged to decline
to perform any duties of the olllce w hich
will incur expense, after the present allow
ances aud receipts are expended. Feeling
that the present allowance and collections
will be exhausted before the next meeting
of the board, I respectfully call attention
of your honorable body to the exigency of
the case and request reasonable relief.
Yours respectfully,
L. Mukkishkt, Sheriff.
Your committee are of the opinion that
the Constitution and declslous of the Su
preme Court have answered so completely
the foregoing commuulcatlou that we sim
ply iUote their language, as found in Vol.
DO Illinois lteporta, page 341, and others
cited :
" Why the county lnmrd fix the amount
if It is to be without any effect If in any
case It may be shown that the amount
fixed Is more or lees than necessary ? Who
then is to determlue what Is necessary r Is
it to be left to the determination of the
officer, and the temptation be held out to
hlui to keep all the fees that come into bis
bands, under the claim that they are nec
essary to pay the excuses of his office, aud
trusting to bis ability to make it so appear?
Or la it to be left to the determination of
the verdict of a jury at the end of a liti
gated suit?
Is It the policy of the law that an of
fleer's compensation shall be fixed and
known that he shall have that and no
more that the amount of bis pay shall
not depend upon a decision to be made
upon a quantum mtruit claim.
When the county board bas thus fixed
an officer's compensation we conceive that
that is all to which he is entitled-
We do not see that under the Constitution
there is any nther power which kas the
authority to Increase it. "
11 Brad., p. m: The sheriff takes his
office with its burdens, and not only bis
compensation, but the expenses of bis office
are to De aerrayea only out of the fees and
emolamenta by blm received.1 '
7 111, p. 423 : The incumbent takes the
office with 1U burdens."
The constitutional inhibition li absolute.
The comnensatbm allowed by the board
whether it Includes Mouses of the office
nr not. shall In no case exceed tue tees or
the office actually collected, aud the county
has no power, if willing ho to do, to nuke
n n hiiv deficiency that may exist. All the
county lioaid Intended to do by its order was

The time reuulred to review the accounts
of the four county treasurers which enter
into this report has necessitated tue omis
sion at this time of a detailed statement, as

nelled to ask for time to perfect and power

honorable Hoard lor tue ensuing year, anu
until the next lew is available.
All of which Is respectfully submitted.
M. Maikiuiokku,
