Clayton Co. Officials & Salaries,
Town Assessors & Township Assessors - 1932
~Clayton County Register, Thur.,
January 14, 1932 ~contributed by Reid R. Johnson
| Salary cuts, totaling
$3,440 were made on employees of the county pay roll by
the board of supervisors in the January session, just
closed. The largest cut came in the county engineer's
office where $920 was taken from the engineer and his
assistants. E. W. Hahn, who was drawing $3,200 during
1931 was re-appointed by the board at a salary of $2,400
for the year 1932, effective with March 1st, when his
present appointment expires. D. E. Hoover and Milton
Uecker were each cut $5 per month, from $140 and $125 to
$135 and $120 per month respectively. Deputies in both the recorder's office and the county superintendent's office were eliminated, but $660 has been allowed by the board for clerk hire during the year in each of these offices. Both these deputies have been drawing $1,320 annually. A similar reduction in the help in county office was made by the board last year when additional help was taken from the auditor's and treasurer's office. E. Bergemeyer was re-appointed as steward of the county asylum with a reduction of $25 per month, from $125 to $100 and Wm. Koehn was re-appointed steward of the poor home with a reduction of $50 per month, from $125 to $75. A new arrangement is also made with relation to these two institutions. Mr. Koehn will have only stewardship of the poor farm, while Mr. Bergemeyer will conduct both the insane and county farms and by this arrangement it is expected that more of the help available at the asylum can be used. No salary changes were made with regard to the county officials and their deputies, except as already noted. The salaries were fixed the same as last year, as follows: County Auditor - $2,000; Deputy Auditor - $1,440; County Treasurer - $2,000; Deputy Treasurer - $1,440; County Clerk - $2,000; Deputy Clerk - $1,440; County Sheriff - $1,900; Deputy Sheriff - $1,495; County Recorder - $1,800; County Superintendent - $1,800; County Attorney - $1,600.
