Salary fund.

SEC. 219. For the purpose of paying the salaries provided for in this act, all fees directed to be paid into the county treasury shall be set apart therein as a separate fund, to be known as the salary fund, to be applied to the payment of said salaries. Should the amount received from such source be insufficient, it shall be the duty of the county treasurer from time to time to transfer to said fund from the general fund of the county such sums as may be necessary to pay said salaries as they become due.

Section 168 of act of 1883, and section 220 of acts of 1891 and 1893.

Salaries are to be paid monthly, section 156. See note under next section.

Salaries-how paid.

SEC. 220. The salaries of such officers named in this act as are entitled to salaries shall be paid monthly out of the county treasury, and it shall be the duty of the auditor, on the first Monday of each and every month, to draw his warrant upon the county treasurer in favor of each of said officers for the amount of salary due him under the provisions of this act for the preceding month; except that onehalf of the annual salary of the assessor shall be paid to him in equal monthly installments for the months of March, April, May, and June, and onehalf in equal monthly installments for the remaining eight months of the year. The treasurer shall pay said warrants on presentation out of the salary fund of the county treasury.

Section 169 of act of 1883, and section 221 of acts of 1891 and 1893.

It is to be understood that by the naming of a fixed sum as the annual salary of an officer, it is intended to fix the rate of compensation for the period the officer serves, for it can never happen that the term will consist precisely of so many years. Hence when it was provided by the county government act of 1891, that certain county officers whose compensation was fixed at an annual sum, should hold office from the first Monday after the first day of January next succeeding their election, and until their successors qualified, such officers were entitled for the time they actually served. Section 60 of that act repealed section 4109 of the Political Code, which provided merely that the officers should hold for a term of two years from the first Monday after the first day of January succeed

ing their election. Section 221 of the said act of 1891, is not inconsistent with said section 60. It may and does happen that the first of January is Monday, and in that event the term of office would not expire until the second Monday, and notwithstanding the auditor is required to draw his warrant on the first Monday in each month for the official salaries of the preceding month, the officer whose term does not expire with the first day of the month is entitled also to a warrant for the time he actually serves after that date. Dillon v. Bicknell, 47 Pac. Rep. 937. Officers are required to complete the business of the office to the end of the term. Section 226, post.

Statement of fees must precede warrant for salary.
