The war fund committee appointed nv
the board at The last special meeting, pre-
scented the following report accompanied
by the following resolutions and a report
oftbe County Clerk, as part of said re
port to wit:
ITO the Board Of Supervisors of VII
County:
Your War Fund Committee appointed
at the last special meeting to negotiate and
dispurse the war fund appropriated at
said meeting beg leave to report.
That subsequent to the adjournment
of the board they held meeting and adj
vertised, by posting and circulating print
ed hand-bills, for propositions to furnish
the amount Of 100000 in sums to suit
parties, at the rate of interest authorized
by the board, which so far as was needed
to pay bouuties was furnished by sundry
parties, and so far as your committee are
aware all volunteers from the county en-
titled TO, bounty have been paid.
"Iour committee further report that af-
ter a careful investigation of the subject.
they concluded that inasmuch as about
one half of the war fund collectable each
year, would be collected and in the hands
OF the county treasurer at or about the
FIRST day of March of such year.
"They thereLpon ordered certificate
10 issue for one half of each annual INSTALL
meut (viz SlO,O00) payable or the first of
March OF each year, and the remaining
half (viz SlO,O00) was made payable on
the hrst OF June Of such year, as directed
by the board, thereby annually saving TO
the county the interest on $4,000 for the
term OF three months, intervening between
Ihs Let days of March and June of each
year.
Your committee are aware that thew to
, certain extent exceeded their authority
IN authorizing certificates to issue pa-a-
bic on the LIST day of March as aforesaid,
and they therefore ask that an order be
passed confirming their acts herein.
"As further report of their acts un-
der and by virtue of their appointment
they beg leave to refer to the report of
tbci county clerk herewith presented
which they have adopted as a part of this
report.
''ln the opinion Of your committee it
would be much more satisfactory to par
ties furnishing moneys to pay the month
ly installments to heads of families of VOL
unteers who have chosen SIS per month in
lieu Of $50 bounty, if one certificate would
issue monthly to such party or parties in
stead of monthly certificate of SIS made
payable to such volunteer or his family as
directed by the board, and your committee
therefore suggest that the action of the
board herein be changed accordingly.
''YOur committee further suggest, that
The action OF the board at the special ses-
sion in authorizing the raising of the war
fund be approved and made the action of
this board.
"Your committee would therefore pro-
pose the massage of the resoln tinns hare.
