Whreas, The aforesaid application declared
that by a division Of Ottawa County, the officer
of Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff have become
vacant, and therefore, the necessity occurs for a
special meeting Of said Board TO fiji said vacan-
cics, and consequent thercunto the clerk of the
county has been directed (as will appear by the
copied instructions Of one Of the Supervisors
IN king the spplication) TO notify but fifteen SUI
p1rvisors Of the twenty composing the Board OF
the County, while the Statute rec uires that each
AID every one Of the Supervisors shall be Only
notified at least six days before the day of meet
in.,, and hence, five Supervisors have received
n legal notice Of said meeting and
Whereas, Contrary TO the avermonts Of said
application, the county Of Ottawa Is not divid-
ed, and no such vacancies occur as therein af-
iirmcd, but in fact said County is and now re-
mains geographically the same as il was at the
late session Of said Board in January last, when
twenty Supervisors comprised tho Board of Su-
poryisors of tho County, and the notification OF
apart only Of the Supervisors Of the County has
not bcen in accordance with the Statute cousc.
quently the present session is without shadow OF
law, Qnd all actions growing cut Of the same will
be entirely nugatory.
Therefore, We, the undersigned Supervisors
Of said County, with the full conviction that all
acts ofthis present session cannot but be illegal
and Of no binding force whatever, do hereby en-
ter our solemn protest against any and all nc
tons of said present session, and specially pro-
test against any action to remove tho County
site from it, present location at Grand Haven
contrary to law, and in disregard Of the major
interest and wishes Of the people.
