My salary has been paid from the of the County Treasurers, and not the fees County. I have no tenure of office beyond the two and one-half years of the present Treasurer, seniority rights, or retirement; and not until two years ago were County accepted as a group under Federal-State Old Age and Survivors Insurance, with no credit for back years, and has yet to be earned. Our work week is and often 6 days a week, and we take justifiable pride in the service we render our County and State government, Would you as an employee, feel justified in your removal from your position of service, just because your work had been honest and commendable, or would you feel that your services merited further consideration?
