Hendee. Such an official could not be elected until November, 1932, under the law which ‘provides for county auditors in counties of not less than 75,000 inhabitants. The powers of such an official would be almost that of a purchasing agent. On any county purchases or ecntracts the auditor, under the law, would audit the claims and approve them before the county board of suâ€" pervisors could give the final apâ€" proval and allow the county clerk to pay the claim. + Salary Fixed by Board The salary of such an official would have to be set by the board of suâ€" pervisors and an office in the county building provided. â€" The term of office would extend over a period of four years. For years the county board has contracted with an outside auditor to come in at certain intervals of the year and audit books and show emolâ€" uwments and expenditures.
