On motion of Supervisor Gould, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution was adopted
by the board, VIZ: t
whereas an impression seems to prevail,
ON account of the passage of resolution by
the board, on the 9th inst by which c. H.
oteddard was requested to record his unoffi.
cial surveys in the surveyors record, of
which he is and has been for a number of
years the appointed recorder, that an attempt
was made to disparage and moderate the
ability of our county surveyor.
Therefore, resolved, that the action refer
eu 10 WIS taken upon the supposltlon that |
t was necessary, in order to have a complete |
ecord OF all surveys heretofore made, which |
when properly sworn to and recorded, would |
De legal, and would, in the opinion of this |
,oard, be matter OF economy and pru-
lenc.
Resolved further, that no attempt was |
made or'thought of, contemplating to dis !
'arage or cast even shadow of doubt with |
eference to the ability or eapability of the
present county surveyor.
On motion of Supervisor Wells, H. H.
)esanto. of Andalusia, druggist was grant
d license to sell spirituous liquors, in guam
ties less than one gallon, for medicinal and
Mechanical purposes.
