Chairman Committee.
Report adopted.
Your Committee on Finance would
recommend the adoption of the fol-
lowing Resolution:
Whereas the killing Of Gophers in
this County under the present orders
of this Board draws large amounts OF
money out Of the County Treasury,
and q sound judgment dictates that no
warrants should be issued for that pur-
pose only upon properly verified
statements: and
Whereas, Some of the vouchers pre-
sented for the killing of gophers fail
to adduce a sufficient statement OF
facts: Therefore
BE ii Resolved, That before the Au-
ditor shall issue his warrant to any
claimant for the killing Of Gophers,
such claimant shall be required to pre-
sent a statement duly verified, sub
stantiaIly in the following form:
STATE OF Iowa,
MARION COUNTY.
Marion County to A-B-debtor
For killing twenty Gophers at ten
cents each, two dollars.
l, being duly sworn, do
upon my oath say that the above
statement of account is correct, that
no part Of the same has been paid,
that the aforementioned twenty Co
pliers were by me caught, and killed,
in Marion County, Iowa, within the
year A. ID. 1885,, and that no bounty has
been paid on the scalps Of any of said

Resolution adopted.
Your Committee on County Build
ings and Property would respectfully
report, that upon an examination OF
the Court House they find that the
space under the stairway in the SOUTH
west corner of the building, set apart
for a Coal room, is used very generally
for q water closet, which, besides rot
ting the floor, raises a sickening smell;
also that the Coal is thrown in through
window, breaking window glass,
sash, shutters, &C., and injuring the
walls in that neighbOrhOod; we would,
therefore, recommend the adoption of
the following Resolution: That the
Clerk of the Board be authorized to
, cause to be cut iii the wall just north
of the southwest corner of the building
q hole, and have the same properly
arranged, with sill, and cap, and
shutter, for the purpose Of putting in
the coal into the aforesaid Coal Room,
and to cause to be repaired, and put in
order the window, shutter, and wall
ut which the coal has been thrown In
heretofore; and that he also cause to
be arranged for water closet the
space under the stairway In the SOUTH
east corner of the building, by the
constructing of trough of suitable
size, with pipe leading through the
east wall into small sink, to be dug
outside, and have the same kept pure
with lime; all this to be done at the
expense Of the County. Adopted.
