DISCREPANCY OVERLOOKED.
The report OF County Auditor Da-
Wis was submitted The discussion
elected by the report brought to
light the fact that the recent Grand
Jury had overlooked a discrepancy
of $40 81 between the books of ex-
Auditor Lothrop and those of Treas
urer Sims. That is to say, Mr..
Sims's books show that Mr.. 10th
rop drew warrants for $40 81 more
than he Oothrop) charged himself
wlth.-REP.
The Auditors report also showed
that the deficiency in the salary fund
for February was 1926 80. The
sum of 1924 40 in the General Fund
was thereupon ordered transferred
to the salary fund.
The salary of Cal. Bsrnap, county
iailer, was fixed at $50 per month.
PUBLIC ROADS.
A citizen wanted the Board to re-
pair the Como road, or at least con-
tribute to such repair. There was a
chance that the camp would come
out, and if it did the county would
more than get their money back. If
the county agreed to pay 500 in
cash or its equivalent, Hero Ken
needy would pay $40, the Lyon Mill
and Mining Company $25, aud the
people of Dayton and Como would
supply the remainder. 1t would
cost all of $500 to put the road in
good repair. The Board allowed
800.
Commissioner Scheel said the
American Ravine road should be
made passable. There were two or
three mines in there which showed
good prospects, but the owners could
not afford to keep the road in order
unaided-especially as it was used
by ranchers and the general public.
RIA. Young said there were many
reasons why the road should be re-
paired.
J. d Blackburn, Of the Red jack
ct, aud w. II. Atkinson, of the At
lantic Con. Mine, said those compan-
les had spent good deal OF money
on the road the past few years, and
even now were willing to do their
share. But the county should help.
Tie Board donated $50 in coin or its
equivalent.
Augustus Perkins wanted the road
up Eldorado Canon, above the toll
house, repaired. Those using the
road were willing to contribute coin
and labor. Il would probably cost
$500 to make a passable road. The
Board donated 500 in coin or its
equivalent.
HOW A SAVING CAN BE MADE.
A citizen said that he had been re-
quested to call the attention of the
Board to the fact that the indigent
sick of this county could be cared
for at St. Mary's Hospital, in Vir-
ginia, for less than was charged ut
the County Hospital. He knew that
DIR. Bergstein and his corps of at
pendants bestowed all possible care
on the sick, but it was not as desira
bic a place as st. Mary's Hospital.
Women were the only nurses fit for
a sick room, and the Sisters, having
devoted their lives to the care of the
sick, were better skilled than any
other class of people could hope to
be. The matter was laid over until
the next meeting of the Board, when
the county is expected to be on a
cash basis, and better terms can be
had.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
All bills for supplies were laid
over until next month, when money
is expected to be in the treasury to
pay them.
The floor in the Auditors office
was ordered repaired in accordance
with that officials wishes.
missioner Scheel was instruc-
ted to supervise disbursements on
the American Ravine. and Commits
sioner Shaw was similarly instructed
with reference TO the Como and Ell
dorado Canon roads.
The official salaries for February
were allowed.
The Board then adjourned to the
fstMOnday in April.
