L. Kinnler, county directing engineer. There the board, on motion of Supervisor Hedrick, cut the salary of Harry Miller, a clerk, from $50 ‘weekly to $1,800 yearly. The only other cut was the removal of the salary of $50 monthly that has been paid to Con- stable Herbert T.

Jones of Mount Ida, and that, although they are not required to longer bear the expense of his treat- ments, they will probably do so. Jones injured his foot when his motorcycle skidded on the Washington-Alexandria , and the injury has not responded & treatment as was expected. So serious has it become, the board was told, that his physicians fear that amputation may - be necesary. Jones has been a patient at Emergency Hospital since early in the Spring and is likely to remain there for some time longer, it was said. ROCKVILLE.
