the account of the town of Bristol be con-
sidered, Carried.
In this matter some conversation off
personal nature was had, and Drs. Mckin-
ley. Parker, and Farr, and Mr.. Epson.
made sevcrally statements in regard TO
the professional services performed Tor
Mr.. Oleson. As it was Of a private char
acter, it is omitted in this report.
Mr.. Shoies moved that the account OF
the Town of Bristol be allowed.
Mr.. Woodwork moved that the
amount for interest be stricken out. Car
ried.
The account was then allowed at S225.23
Mr.. Derbvshire offered resolutions APP
propriating Four Hundred Dollars to aid
the Town of Pleasant Prairie in building
Waller Bridge.
Mr.. Marsh thought the Town of Som
ers had built more bridges than any 9TH
er Town in the County, and had never
asked for help. He had consulted the
people of his Town, and his brother SUI
pervisors, and they thought this measure
unjnst-that Pleasant Pc.irie was as able
to build its necessary bridges as are the
other Towns.
Mr.. Epson said he had opposed the
aiding Wheatland last year, in a bridge
over Fox River on the principle that it
was strictly Town matter. The.Town
of Bristol has built heavy bridges repeat
edly, and has not asked for help. But if
it was necessary in extraordinary cases,
for the County to render this help he
should not object. He wanted everything
to go off tremendously.
Mr.. Derbyshire said they had good
many bridges in their Town but he would
say his Town had voted to raise FIVE
Hundred Dollars to build said bridge, and
he was convinced that the voters could
not be induced to raise another dollar.
An effort had been made to build it by
private subscription. This had failed.
It was question whether the County
would do without the road or not. 1t
could not be built without aid from some
source.
Mr.. Woodwork offered an amendment
that Four Hundred Dollars be also APP
propriated to the Town of Salem to aid
in building o road across the Big Slough
He was opposed to the principle, and OPP
posed the original resolution, but this
matter was as much needed as the other.
and if the County gave to one, it should
to another.
Mr. Sholes asked if there was any L.
gal way to compel Pleasant Prairie to
build this bridge. 1t was agreed not. He
asked if the Town was in equity bound to
do it. 1t was agreed not. lie then said
it was public necessity, and the public
ought to aid it. lie was in favor Of es-
tablishing some principle in this matter,
and suggested that when the public need
ed a bridge that would cost over $500
the County should supply the deficiency.
Some farther discussion was had, but
of no different import.
Mr.. Sholes moved that the whole mat
ter be referred back to the Committee,
with instructions to report tomorrow
morning. Carried.
Mr.. Dean moved reconsideration of
the motion rejecting the accounts for hol-
ding inquest on the burned child at the
house Of Mr.. Taffee.
The District Attorney was called on
for an opinion, who stated that he thought
Justice had no discretion in the matter,
and when applied to to hold an inquest,
with an averment that body was found
dead, and there was suspicion offoul play,
he was bound to comply with the request.
The motion prevailed.
Mr.. Doan moved the following accounts

Mr. Josiah Bond appeared before the

as well as Mr.. Knight, of equal worth
If the County is disposed to purchase,
he wished to be considered in the mar
ket He would sell his for $500. He
