AZ the last special meeting OF the Board
there was an apprC priation of 10000 to
/ pay one thousand bounties of sixty dol
/ lais each, and, on examination ct the re-
I port Of the War Bounty Committee, we
/ find they have paid on the above nine

! Z balance OF seyenty-nine hounties unex-
pended. There was also passed at the
, same, meeting, 4 resolution granting q
! bounty OIL SIStJ
I who had then enlisted into old regiments
! under the late calls OF the President not
To exceed the sum of three thousand
dollars.
t We would advise the Board to act in
| good faith in this matter Of bounty, and
there we feel our duty ends, and for this
Z, purpose would recommend that the seven.
! ty-nine unappropriated bounties be given
| 70 such parties as may organize under TIE
rule adopted by the War Bounty Commit
! tee; and as the resolution appropriating
/ a sum not exceeding three thousand dol
! lars contemplated such as had then
/ (Aucust l2th) enlisted under the late
| calls, into old regiments organized in this
! county, We would recommend the payment
of sixty dollars each to those embraced
| in the three thousand dollar resolution,
! aud when this is accomplished. we would
recommend that the Board make no fur.
