Tho gentlemen iali 70 shy that they
will not attend to tho PauPers OF the
County, but pretend to. have been TO-
sether and passed resolutions &C., winch
nc slll hot say are assumptions OF power,
for they arc learned; Wh'le we make 10
such prctensions.
Well. they say in one oftheir rcselu-
lions that 1--WE have noticed With rcgre.
tho continued and pcrsi.ten. efforts. Of =
part Of the Supervisors Of this County to
place such restrictions upon the members
Of our profession, that they could not,
without loss Of professional dignity and
character, offend to the paupers Of OUT
COUNTY that I'D which they otherwise
fould haut so chetrnlly rendered" 1
take it for granted that / am the part Of
the Supervisors spoken Of in this complaint,
as on tho passing Of this Ia sful ordinance,
SO powerfully in the way 6i'ths pretended
guardians Of the Taxpayers Of this Coun-
| ty, it was passed without one dissenting
vote, and at our meeting after that the
ordinances which had been passed were
rot recorded as e25th Section Of Chap.
ter 80 required, and | called for tic ordi.
nanccs 10 be read, the Clerk was requested
to record them according to the said Sec
ton. Hc, for while, inquired if ii made
sry difference. Tie Board cited him TO
Che said section, and he then got q. book
and recordedsll Of the ordinances tia: had
been passed but the ono these gentlemen
thinks is .unuarranted BY laT and a
gross assumption Of power" and read
them. After tha. time some Of tho mem.
bors Of tho Board got 70 Thinking and
ta,kiag about this obnoiiods ordinance.
Ge looked in the book where it shosid
have been recorded, and is vas not there.
So so hunted it Up and asked tho Clerk
to record it With the others passed at the
same time i. was passed; and he did so.
We di.t not then dream Of laying ourscl.
YES liable to the contempt Of these grca.
men .bu. it is all done now, and We Mill
have 10 tty and defend ourssl7c, the best
We can. Wo will rely.ih part on part Of
The h::scction and tho l4th section Of
Chapter ~. Of tho Code OF West virginia
