We have received . copy of the bill re-
ported by Senator Powers, from the major.
ity of the Committee on Township and Ooun-
sy organization, providing for County
Board OF Supervisors, DO. IL gives one So

County Judge Chairman of the Board, and

As at present advised, we think the plan

the necessity Of increasing the present num-
