Your committee also submit two bills OF
Messrs Culver, Page, Hoyne Il Co.. amount
ing to 1913 50, hcing for blanks ordered by
the county clerk and in part distributed to
the officers IN the several towns charged with
the execution of the road and bridge law.
Your committee submit these bills to the
board without recommendation, believing,
however that they will have to be paid. as
they were ordered by the clerk, it having
been the custom to provide the officers OF
the several towns with these blanks. Your
committee desire To express their opinion,
however that there WAS no occasion for or
dering such an unusual quantity OF these
blanks especially wnrn it is known that
very few of those Distributed are ever used.
Your committee, in view Of the fact that the
purchasing of road and bridge blanks is u
proper town charge, recommend that when
the present supply is exhausted no more OF
these blanks be distributed by the county.
Your committee further recommend that
this board require that the several county
officers when III need of books and stationery
shall make IA requisition on the chairman OF
your committee on stationery for the neceS-
sary books and articles wanted, so that your
committee can control the purchase Of what
is needed Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES J. METzGER, Chairman.
