The time for which the members of
the county board is allowed their per
diem expires to-day, although it is prob
able that the session will be prolonged
so as to include tomorrow. The COM
missioner's report has proved bone of
contention and although there has been
no discussions which have delayed the
transaction of business the present hoard
is not a harmonious one. There is a
suppressed feeling of mutual dissatisfac-
ton which is very thinly concealed
and which might be very easily famed
into flame of discord. The commission
was rather an unfortunate thing for the
peace of the county and the harmonious
procedure of the board. Some of the
city members whose sense of justice is
stronger than their satisfaction at the
success of the city are outspoken in their
denunciation of the manner in which
Manitowoc Rapids has been treated.
And right here it may not be improper
to offer some comments on what consti-
tute the duties of chairmen as members
of the Board. chairman has duties to
perform extending beyond the mere in
terests of the town to which he is accred-
tied and justice to all should be the
principle to guide him and not temper
airy and unjust advantage to the town
which elects him. He should look to the
interests of the county as whole and
not seek for discrimination in favor of
his town. There are many chairmen who
have no appreciation of duties in this
broad sense and degenerate into cavilers.
Such men are unable to hold the temper
airy advantage they may gain and invari-
ably bring their towns into disrepute.-
A liberal policy is the course to pursue,
seeking for no unfair advantage and re-
polling any attempt at imposition. When
the members constituting the county
bard will be more mindful of justice
and less attentive to logrollirg, sessions
will be briefer and the work done far
more acceptable to the general public.
The committees on Poor, on General
claims, Sheriff's and Justices claims and
on Equalization made their reports on
Wednesday. All were adopted without
question with the exception of the report
of the Assessment committee which was
made the special order for clock this
afternoon. Elsewhere in this issue will
be found the report of this committee.
There will be considerable discussion on
this matter and an effort will be made to
have it referred for revision. We have
no time to make comments upon it or in
stitute comparisons with like reports of
other years. The committee was evil
IDENTITY guided largely by the report of
the commission. When the report was
read by the clerk Mr.. Steinbrecher adj
dressed the board and explained the
grounds ON which the committee pro-
