Bill Of W. 7. King, office rent
$500, to be allowed at $3.50 per an

Bill of T. L. KEENAN,, illegal tax
certificates, $159.62, laid over until
next meeting of County Board.
The committee On town organization
passed in the following report:
I'VE, the committee on the formation
and division Of towns, would report
that we cannot act on the several
petitions presented, for the reason that
it does not appear that the conditions
required by Sec. GA, r. S. 1878 have
been complied with; further, under
the provisions of the law as it now
stands, it would be nearly impossible to
secure the formation of new town, or
the division of an old enc. Justice to
the taxpayers demands that the local
taxes collected should be expended in
the territory in which it is collected,
and for the benefit Of those paying the
same, as near as practicable. This
cannot be secured without division of
some of the towns, and as the law now
stands, it is next to impossible to
secure a division.
Your committee would therefore
recommend that some resolution be
passed by this Board, requesting our
Senator and Assemblyman to use
their best endeavors to secure a mo-
difcation of the law during the coming
session of the Legislature. y
