paragraph 80, which reads as follows;
Il fore any claim against a county is audited and
allowed the claimant or his agent shall verify the
same by his affidavit, stating that the several items
in hn
charged therein or articles furnished, the case
may De, were rendered or furnished as therein
charged. ana that the amount claimed Is due and
unpaid after allowing all just credits,
IHE ARGUS don't charge the board or
the clerk anything for this information
but when the law is violated attention will
be called to it, and to those who violate it,
There is no rule of the board in regard
to the matter named. That rule was re-
pealed by the present board, last spring,
and Supr Wright was present when it was
DONE There is a law of the state forbid
ding the allowance of bills unless they are
first sworn to, and the board has not the
power TO alter, repeal or suspend the oper-
alton of that law.-EDITOR OF The AR
