      working hours. Time lost in any week because of inclement weather may be
      made up during that week and the succeeding three weeks. Nothing  herein

      county  clerk,  county  treasurer, clerk of the board of supervisors and
      civil office of the sheriff shall be kept open for  the  transaction  of
      business.  If  the  board of supervisors does not fix the hours that the
      offices described in  this  subdivision  shall  be  kept  open  for  the
      transaction  of  business, then those offices shall be kept open for the
      transaction of business every day from at  least  nine  o'clock  in  the
      forenoon to five o'clock in the afternoon, except Saturdays, Sundays and
      holidays.  During  the  months of July and August, such offices shall be
      kept open from at least nine o'clock in the forenoon to four o'clock  in
      the afternoon of each day, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

      subdivision two hereof may close on the day before.
        4. The board of supervisors may fix office hours not inconsistent with
      this chapter or other law.
