For the JOURNAL
County Matters

FRIEND Lutte Il notice in the last issue of
the Transcript an allusion to the doings of the
present County Board, and as the present one
is in keeping with several other that have pre-
coded it, and is just Ike a dozen more that
are to follow, propose to call your attention
to this one. thereby showing the character of
the whole batch
The Transcript gays the Statute provides
(chap. IS, sec. 27,) that the amount of orders
for any year shall in no case exceed the amt
of tax levied for that year,and says the amount
OF orders already issued since the annual meet
ing of the Board is $1,000 Sc. Strange. isn't
it, that the Board should issue orders to de-
fray the current expenses for 1861, that they
had not provided for at the same time that
provision was made for the current expenses
for 1860. Now if l understand the intent of
the law il is that the Board, say for this year,
shall issue no more county orders than they
levy county tax for this year. He says fur
ther, that the law provides is section 81 of the
same chapter that no orders shall be issued
except upon accounts audited by the Board
Now here is section 40: "Such clerk shall
not sign or issue any county orders except
upon recorded vote or resolution of the
Board of Supervisors authorizing the same and
the name of the person to whom it is issued
shall be entered in a book to be kept by him
in his office for that purpose" Now if sec
ton 50 reads as he says it does, or anything
like it can't see straight. AS for the holders
of county script, think that when they have
examined the records" as he advises them
to do, they will be satisfied that bad as is
county scrip that it carries far more truth and
honesty on its face than there is in any man
who would pen the last paragraph Of the arti-
Gle above alluded to in the 7yanscrip'.
