Surely you gentlemen by this time
alize the finicial condition of Cam-
bria county. The report of the Penn-
sylvania state tax commission to the
1927 session of the general assem-
bly shows that the bonded debt of
Cambria county was greater than that
of any other county in the state of
Pennsylvania with the exception of
Philadelphia and Allengheny counties
on the first of January, 1924, the
bonded debt of Cambria county was
$3,760,000. Since that time it has
jumped to $6,506,000 Jan. 1, 1929. This
is in spite of the fact that our coun-
tv has been visited with the great
rial depression, making it more
ment of a clerk to pass on elonera- | qifficnly than ever before for the tax
tions in spite of the fact that during
that time the exoneratiens were more
and the amount collected by the
county less. In view of the fact that
the amount collected under the new
system is more, it would seem that
there is now .still ‘less need for a
clerk to pass upon exonerations than
to be particularly true in view of the
fact that under the old system the
persons who collected county
were paid a commission on exonera-
tions and now the t

and therefore it is to the interest of |

sible. More-over the tax collectors are
required to take an affidavit to

implication of your resolution is that
these tax collectors have been
ing false affidavits. I do
that such is the case.
It is the duty of the
troller to see that all C
to the respective collectors in ]
duplicates delivered to them are paid
into the county. Conforming with this
requirement the controller has

plicatess for the new year were deliv-

Two—The second reason given
the board of commissioners for the
by|
employment of Martin R. Brennan as |
clerk was his services are needed to
pass upon claims for damages against
the county. Claims for damages again- |
st the county arise almost always by |
reason of the construction of
roads and bridges. There are at the
present time no new roads or bridges
authorized by resolution of your board.
Releases of claims for damages have
already been secured for route No.
234, and the property owners affected
by Lamb's Bridge are to appear in
a few days before your board, the
said M. B. Brennan who made the
investigation on the claims for Lambs
bridge having filed his report and a
bill was rendered by him for
ices thereon.
The board of county commissioners |
has passed a resolution to the effect
that they will appropriate no more
money for the construction of new
roads this year. In view of the fact
that no new roads or bridges are to be
constructed this year is obvious that
the creation of a new position as
clerk at a salary of $170 per month
and expenses is totally unnecessary for
this purpose.
If any claims for damages by rea-
son of
bridge should arise the commissioners
have already
gineer at a salary of $5,000 per year
and exnenses, all of whose time is not
required to perform services of the
countv as engineer by reason of thé
new |
serv- |
|
The reasons cited above appear to
me to be compelling reasons why the
appointment of Martin R. Brennan as
clerk at a salary of $170 per month
and expenses should not be made and
they are the only reasons advanced by
the board of commissioners for mak-
ing appointment.
There is still another reason why
this appointment should not have been
made and that is because it is il-
legal. The act of 1876, P. L. 13, sec-
tion 7, provides in part as follows:
“The county commissioners and
county controllers where such
office e S, shall be and
they are hereby constituted a
board for their several counties
respectively, whose duty it shall
be to meet together, from time
to time, as they may be required
by any of the officers whose sal-
aries are established by this act,
for the purpose of ascertaining
and determining the number of
deputies or clerks required for
the proper dispatch of business
by each such officers, and for
fixing the salary of each of said
clerks and deputies whenever
said board is assembled to con-
sider the case of any one of said
officers, office holding it shall
sit as a member of the board so
long as the case of such officer
is under consideration and no
longer & a decision of a major-
ity shall govern. But if, after
such decision is made, any offi-
cer shall think that the number
of his clerks or deputies is too
few, or the compensation fixed
for either is too small, as the
same may have been determined
by the board, he may anpeal
from the action thereof to the
judge or judges of the court of
common pleas of the county in
which he is officers, who shall
hear and determine such appeal
as prommtly as possible and their
decision thereon shall be final.”
Martin R. Brennan being a “clerk”
within the meaning of the above quo-
| ted act of assembly, it would be ne-
| cessary
the construction of a road or |
| nan unless I am shown some autho- |
fact there are but fourteen (14) miles |
of county roads
in Cambria county. |
In adition to care for these fourteen |
(14) miles of road
intendent of roads and bridges at a
ealary of $2400 a year and expenses.
It would seem reasonable that either
the countv engineer or the superintnd-
nt of roads could find time to investi-
gate what few claims for damages if
any might arise during the year 1929.
3.—The third reason given by the
board of commissioners for the em-
we have a super- |
for the commissioners to br-
matter of this appointment
the salary board of Cambria
county. If the salary board should
decide against this appointment or
should make the appointment but fix-
ing the
before
ing a low rerate of compensation than |
the commissioners requisite they
could appeal from the action of the
salary board to the court of common
pleas of Cambria county. This pro-
employed a county en- | cedure not having been complied with,
I shall be compelled to refuse the pay-
ment of the salary of Martin R. Bren-
to the contrary.
HENRY L. CANNON.

County Controller. |
The controller's protest is based upon
the theory that Brennan was hired
as a “clerk,” an appointment subject
to the approval of the salary board
| composed of the three commissioners
and the controller. Brennan, however,
was hired as an
appointment over which, the commis-
sioners say, they have complete ju-
risdiction.
