There has been ight much discus sion this: week among those most vi tally concerned relative" to the salary bill that Senator Marsden Bellamy and Representative Woodus Kellum pro pose toli have passed at the 'present General Assembly. ; Ko cne seems to have much idea as to the approximate salai "that vwill be proposed ? for the different1 officers, an dMt is not known that Messrs; Bellamy and Kellum have come to any. agreement on the'matter. It : is, presumed that as soon as . they settle upon tne bill as they desire it passed they will' give -it to the press as well as all other important bills affecting..-New Hanover , that will be offered in .the General "Assembly. . Senator Bellamy stated in a public speech ' some - time ago that .befjore he caused to be passed in the Senate any important bills he would give the people o- his district an ' opportunity to be heard, that is,: he would give the bills 'or a. synopsis of the DrinciDal provisions to the press so -that the people jnight be- informed. - While here :be other day he again mentioned his; policy , in; thisregard.1 He stated also after he Jound ' out a -conference of the City Council and a committee from the" Chamber of Commerce; was to be held to discuss various proposed local measures that he would likely wait , and see what "suggestions came from' the conference before offering any measures affecting the city. .It is expected that this committee will fin ish its Work in a few days and make report to a joint meeting of the two bodies so that the legislators may be informed of the wishes of the people speaking through the Chamber of Com merce and Council. ; In connection with r the salary bill it has been talked' that Senator Bel lamy and Representative Kellum pro pose to limit the sheriff to two deputy sheriff for Outside work ; that is, they will allow a , salary for only two and any others would' have to be paid by the sheriff ;,out of. the allowance given him. Anallowance would be given the sheriff for bfllce help during the tax collectingN season. ;It is said' that it is proposed that th enew law provide that all papers shall be served through, the sheriff's office, except ; those handled by ; the-constable"! of a town ship, : and . that in order to prevent ; a magistrate -from making a practice of deputizing men to 'serve papers a clause will be inserted that the officer so deputized shall receive no Compen sation.' V The- fees for serving papers by . deputies are to be paid into the sheriff's office and turned over by this official to the county.
