under IN appropriation and order Of the
Board made 81 Its last regular session
IN August. III. Stearns protested, aud
voted against this Appropriated for the
following reasons
First. Because that portion OF the
county known as White river district
will have bad. including this Appropri>
alton. some SIX thousabd i've hundred
dollars Of appropriations on roads and
bridges within the lest four years, to
the exclusion Of other portions OF the
county where work is needed on The
public roads.
Second. Because this appropriation is
on Q short cross road o. less than two
miles in length. and will ouly benefit o
few persons. comparatively speaking.
Were il on any OF the three roads lead
ing from the city of Seattle out of the
county. the case would be different 10
so large an appropriation. as the gener-
al public would be benefited.
Third, Because one thousand dollars
were appropriated upon this road at the
last session of the Board against my
wishes. and after the Board adjourned
the contract WAS let for fifteen hundred
dollars, with the consent of Dir Saar
and Begley that they would make this
additional appropriation Of five hundred
dollars At this session of the Board.
Fourth, l am opposed to County
Commissioners doing business for the
county outside q the session of the
Board. and binding their acts without
authority. especially when they know
that one Of the Commissioners is op.
posed to what they want to accomplish.
The auditor Was direced to issue his
order on the County Treasurer in favor
of Terence O'Brien, Jr., for the SUN OF
$500 in county scrip. in payment for
work done CD the road above mentioned
and to deliver said scrip to said Terence
