to levy annually on the assessable property of the county a tax
sufficient to pay the annual interest on all outstanding bonds hereto-

principal of said bonds as the same shall fall due. The bonds issued
under the Acts of 1884, Chapter 90, and 1884, Chapter 91, shall be
exempt from all taxation, and the coupons for interest thereon shall

in said county of the annual statement, notice of registration and
election; and they shall have printed in said paper such other printing
that is or may be required to be done and paid for by the county for
the period of one year from the day of making such contract, pro-
vided such contract shall not allow for the entire printing and
publishing of every kind whatsoever to be paid for by the county
any compensation exceeding three hundred and twenty-five ($325)
dollars, and if either of said papers shall not contract for the printing
for the above-named sum, then the County Commissioners are hereby
authorized and empowered to have the same done by handbill or
such other method as they may adopt; provided that nothing in this
Act shall apply to the printing required for elections in said county,
which printing shall not exceed the sum of one hundred and seventy-
five ($175) dollars.]

now imposed upon the said clerk by law he shall make frequent in-
spection of the records of the County Treasurer, shall check all re-
ports submitted by the County Treasurer to the County Commissioners
and shall keep the County Commissioners fully informed as to the
fiscal affairs of the county. He shall also perform such other duties
as may be required of him by the County Commissioners. He shall be
removable at the pleasure of the County Commissioners [and shall
receive as compensation for his services as such clerk such annual
salary as the County Commissioners shall, by unanimous vote, agree
upon, not to exceed two thousand dollars to be levied for by the said
Commissioners as is usual in such cases, and payable monthly by said
Commissioners, and he shall receive no extra or other compensation
or fees of any kind for the duties now imposed upon himself by law,
by the provisions of this Act, or otherwise, which may properly
appertain to his office]. He shall upon application exhibit the books,
papers, and levies in his office and make certified copies or extracts
thereof for any person demanding the same, and charge for the same,
for the use of the county, such fees as are chargeable by the Clerk of
the Circuit Court for similar work, and such copies, under the seal
of the County Commissioners, shall be evidence to the same extent
as the originals would be if produced in proceedings in court or
