Sec. 3-5008. Powers of deputies. Deputy recorders duly appointed
and qualified may perform any and all duties of the recorder in the name of
the recorder, and the acts of such deputies shall be held to be the acts of
the recorder, and in case of the death of the recorder or the recorder's deposition
from office, the chief deputy shall thereupon become the acting recorder
until such vacancy shall be filled according to the Election Code, and the chief deputy
shall file a like bond and be vested with the same powers and subject to
the same responsibilities and entitled to the same compensation as in case
of recorder. Provided, that if the recorder is called into the active
military service of the United States, the office shall not be deemed to be
vacant during the time the recorder is in the active military service of the United
States, but during the time the recorder is in such active military service of the
United States the chief deputy recorder shall be the recorder, and shall perform
and discharge all of the duties of the recorder in such county, and shall
be paid the same compensation as provided by law for the recorder of the
county unless compensated at a higher rate than the recorder as chief deputy, apportioned as to the time of service, and the chief deputy recorder
shall cease to be the recorder upon the discharge of said recorder from the
active military service of the United States; and provided further, that
the chief deputy recorder, upon becoming the temporary recorder during the
absence of the recorder in the active military service of the United
States, shall give bond as required of a regularly elected recorder.
