Clerk Throp said the figure is based on a final check of election expense of election officials, includ-number of votes cast in the primary. Clerk Throp's final accounting of election expenses shows $7,872.96 spent on the April primary. Official reports of the canvassing committee show that 6840 Republican and 2739 Democratic ballots were cast, for a total vote of 9579. DIVISION of 9579 into the $7872.96 expenses figure provides a cost-per-vote of 82 cents.

Clerk Thorp said the major cost item of the 52 primary was the expenses bf election officials, including all judges and clerks for the county's 41 precincts. A change in election laws, made effective this year, makes it necessary pay all judges and clerks for two days of service at $7.50 per day, or a total of $15. This will apply in all county elections in the future, both in the primary and in November general elections. In the past, judges and clerks re ceived credit for two days of ser vice only in presidential year primary and general elections and for only one day on the fo-called off- year' elections. A tally for 1950 expenses shows that judges and clerks were paid only $10 for one day's service.

IN ADDITION, the expense of the canvassing committee, plus mileage for one judge of each precinct to return voted ballots to the county clerk's office, boosted the election official expense to for the '52 primary. Each of the county's 41 precincts had three judges and three clerks, an expenditure of $90 per precinct for personnel alone. Expenses in connection with voting booths totaled $505. This included rent of polling places, and expenses in putting up and removing booths. Elections sets for poll workers cost $1587.03.

This includes special kits with all-equipment and instructions prepared for each of the 41 precincts, including tally books md other necessary forms. The latte; figure also included the cost of publication of election notices and specimen ballots, as required ty law. PRINTING COSTS for ballots totalerl $1657.07. Clerk Thorp said he oltained his ballots at a cheaper rate in 1952 than in 1951, but that he spent more for ballots since his of ice was required to purchase an sciditionai tet to cover the School Trustee election which was includ- ed in the '52 primary. ballot from the regular party ballots.

In addition, the extreme length of the Republican ballot for the '52 primary increased-printing costs fince the ballot had to be printed on a special press. Total elections expenses in the 1952 primary were $6448.53, with -judges and clerks paid at a $10 rate. Clerk Thorp said the county will have another bill of similar proper tions to meet at the November gen eral election.
