About 4 year ago the Poard nf Super
visors appointed a commitee-larg'
enough to draft a constitution for til,
United States-to investigate the tinan
cial affair Of the county. The committee
mel once, sub divided itself and that il
the last heard Of it. AS there is M
probability that that committee will eyel
do anything, We suggest that the Board, Al
is next regular meeting, appoint "A new
committee. Three members is all that i,
necessary, and there is no Use to appoln'
them out of town. Men from tn,
country will rot come here to make thu
investigation. They can't afford to. Give
us a new C mmittee and one that vii
make the inv ~estigation.
