We knew an instance in which one. man was kept in the office of town clerk over forty years. on thegrouud that he knew more accurately than unybédyelse the past records of the town and therefore could be of greater ser- vice to every taxpayer ,in the town. The town had nearly 300 voters, and many citizens equally intelligent, but not so familiar with the facts as their clerk.
