Failing to force the Beard of Supervisors by
legal process to pay their extrayagant bills against
the County, the Commissioners of Record have
gone TO Albany to work upon the Legislature, which
they hope to find less Obdurste. The 100000
which our Supervisors would not insert in the Tax
Levy, and which the Courts refused to compel them
to put in, is to be added by the Senate, after the
Levy has passed the House. The tax-bill will then
be returned TO the House TO concurrence, when,
according TO present arrangement, it is to be ap-
proved as amended. We hope that this scandaous
imposition will not be saddled upon our County.
The Commissioners of Record have already re-
ceived too much Of the public money for work of no
sOrt of value even if the large sums paid out had
been legitimately disbursed but when, as was To-
Gently shown, they have been paying over five times
as much for work as the lawful, current rates, 1t is
time that the powers delegated to them were taken
away. The Board of Supervisors have asked the
Legislature to repeal the act under which the Com
mission exists; but no report has thus far been
made. They have also fully informed the Commit
tee of the proceedings of the Commissioners, their
gross overcharges and disgraceful impOstions; bu
it is feared that through the agency of Senator Con-
molly and powerful lobby, the Commissioners Will
not only get the appropriation sought for, but also
longer lease of Office. We hope that the Republi-
cans in the House and Senate viii vigorously OPP
pose all such schemes for plundering the County
Treasury
