Thiswould create great disappointment in the Territory and to individuallitigants. 1 recommend that the right of the clerks to receive such a salaryfrom the Territory, for their own use, and also the right of the Terri-tory to pay it to them for Territorial, district, and county business, beestablished by law at an early date.
