Mr.. w. B Clark moved its adop'
ton, when an animated discussion
took place, Mr.. Robbins leading, who
did not see why the report should
not be adopted, but could see how
great injustice would be done other
papers and spoke at some length in
favor of distributing the printing
equally between the three papers OF
tie assembly districts, referring to
the HERALD, Witness and Dial. Mr..
Watson moved to amend the report
so as TO include the Witness and Dial
at d cost not to exceed $3.50 each.
Mr.. Rodolf opposed the amendment
and was in favor of the adoption OF
the report, believing that printing in
the papers proposed would be en-
tirely satisfactory to the people. Mr..
W. b. Clark called attention to the
fact that the HERALD ''set up" the
original matter at considerable more
cost than other papers, that used
their proof Mr.. Kidd stated the
committees action had been govern
ed by desire to serve the best in>
terests of the people by recommend
ing that the proceedings of this
Board be published in each of the
papers at the county seat, represent
ing the political principles of the
two dominant parties in the county
and by having the abstract of assess :
ment published in the HERALD, 1st,
because the law required it's publica-
ton in a paper, and I'd. because it is
believed that the HERALD has the
greatest general circulation IN the
county OF any pape: published therein.
rho question being upon the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Watson, it failed
The report was then adopted.
Mr.. J. G. CLARK asked leave to
withdraw that portion of claim nO.21
that had been disal;owed, upon
which considerable debate was had.
Mr.. Chas. Bennett desired to "say
something" but objection being made
he "took his seat" The question
being upon the withdrawal, the
chairman was unable to determine
the result by viva voce vote, whom
the ayes and nays were called for.
Before the call wss begun Mr.. Clark
asked to withdraw the S11.00 item
disaIlowed. Leave was given.
Mr.. j. G. Clark presented q resell
ution asking on appropriation to the
town of Lancaster to assist in pay
ing for the ''iron bridge" and desired
to make personal explanation and
place himself right before the Board
and before gentlemen not members
of tho Board. Mr.. Clark expressed
his surprise to learn that his remarks
upon Mr.. R)dolf's resolution limit.
ing the money TO be appropriated
by the committee on highways,
bridges and ferries to $4,000 had
been misconstrued into reflection
on Mr.. Ryland's management of
town affairs and stated that SUCH was
not his intention. On that occasion he
N rely generalized, stating what had
been done by the town board of last
year, what the present one bad done
and what remained to be done. That
the treasury was bankrupt because
of such necessary expenditures; that
be declined to go into details at
that time because be did not pro-
pose to oppose the resolution but
gave notice that on proper occa-
sion be should ask additional aid.
He had no idea of commenting IN.
favorahly upon the acts of gentle
man who had done bis whole duty.
Mr.. Clark then presented the fol-
lowing resolution and moved the
adoption.
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the
town of Lane aster have constructed q
wrought iron bridge across Grant river near
the West line of said town on the territoria
read leading TO Prairie du Chen at an ex-
pense of Sl5994l and whereas in the judg-
nent OF the county Board of Supervisors said
bridge was and is not necessary for the use
and convenience of a considerable portion oil
the people of said town, but is and will BIZ
necessary for the use and convenience Of ad-
joining towns and the through travel Of tbs
county, therefore,
Resoired, that the sum Of S36250 in addition
10 the sum allowed said town out of the So,
900 appropriated be and the same is hereby
appropriatei to the said town of Lancaster Il

the order of the Clerk and Chairman of thi:
Board and when paid the same to be in full
for the balance dne for said bridge.
Mr.. Clark then went on to state
that he believed North Lancaster
contained twice as many bridges O.
any town miles square, IN Gran
county. That last August all 0
hem were swept away, that tn
