The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1875-04-03

furnished the torn of Superior for
sidewalks, by Cobnrn q Desimvai.
The Supervisors of that year declare
that every foot of such plank was
paid for by the Town Board, during
their term, aHd the records show
that orders for large sums in pay
ment for plank were issued.
The town Supervisors of that year
were Messrs Zachau, Kocher and
Collier
| In 1928 the County Board con
sisted of d. Geo. Morrison, Chair
man, Victor Desimval and w. K
Smith. January 81, 1873, a meeting
i f the County Board was held.
lrf,reseat, d. Geo Morrison and Vic
tor Descimval.
These two being present, it was
found for the interest of the County
that orders should issue as follows:
To Victor De>imval, for plank
furnished August Zachau, Chairman,
in 1870, $3.50, 90.
To D. Geo Morrison to 90 to
Madison and protect interests,
| $4,000.
Whether the principle of "Tickle
me Billy and I'll Tickle you" pre-
vailed in this instance, Mr. CranwelI
has unhappiIy neglected TO announce
in the General Order, but it may
not be impairment to state for the
Information of the subservicnt pub
! lie, that Mr. Zachau was not on the
County Board when the plank were
furnished, and could not receive
| plank for the County, and that it has
been asserted that all the plank de-
livered to the 1oacn, were paid for
! by he Town Board in the same year
they were delivered.
When it is added that the usual
oath required upon all claims against
the County-that "the account is
just and correct and that no part of
it has ever been paid, was appended
to the above claim for plank, it must
be clear to the most prejudiced mind
that Supervisor Desimral has de-
veloped an extraordinary faculty for
administration of public affairs.
This faculty is further avonched
by the fact that during the period
Of his administration he has received
from the town and county treasures
about $2,70O for services as
Supervisor, the various items of
which are not detailed here for want
Of space. In view OF the provision
Of law that Il Supervisor can draw
pay IN any one year for only % days
services as Town Supervisor at
$3.50 der day, and for ser
vices as County Supervisor for
only 5 days at 500 per day, it Is
reasonable to infer that the obedient
people viii not only admit his tacul
" III administration, but will ratlty
the General Order which SO properly
assigns TO him the first position in
the political organization for the
next year.
JAMES COLLIER,
by the force of General Order No | :,
Supervisor Of Superior for 1875,
is a citizen of this town since 1855,
and has achieved comfortable
independence by attention to bust
ness. He has served the public
and Mr.. Collier, as Supervisor, for
some tour terms or more, and has
developed faculty for the admins
tration OF affairs which a subser-
Went public cannot fail to admit
entities him to the second place
(sInce the first is bespoken) on the
list named In General Orders, mas
much as lie has received the comtor
table sum Of about 50, 1870, for SER
vices AS Supervisor.
In view OF the fact that the eX-
treme limit of compensation allowed
by law to a Supervisor III auy one
year is $3.50, 1t must be allowed
that Mr. Collier has developed a
faculty which would seem to entitle
him 10 the office, even if 1T had not
been accorded him by General Or
ders.
ANDREW soDERLUND,
is modest, unassuming and indus
trious citizen of Superior, who has
resided in town for many years, and
has served several terms as Super
visor. 1t must be confessed that
he has failed to develop equal facul-
tv for administration with. his fellow
appointees, since he has received
something less than 800, during
the period Of his service as super
visor; but as his name is embraced
in the General Order, it may be pre-
Sumed that the body which promul
gated the General Order has dis
covered proclivity, it not faculty,
which entities him to the ratification
of the obedient people.
II. E. LAFFITTE,
is the Town Clerk of Superior for
the ensuing year, III accordance
with General Order No. l, as he has
been in the past three years by the
free sufrages OF his fellow citizens.
He is a genial gentleman OF untall-
ing good nature, and ii the report of
the Town Board, to be read at the
Town meeting next Tuesday, dis
closes, las rumor says 1t wlll,) the
fact that DR.. Latfitte has received
during the past year, 81, 400 or 81,
600 for his services as Town Clerk,
when the law has fixed his salary at
$500, it will probably be admitted,
without debate, that he has develop
