mittee appointed by the b0ndsman, and MIR.
Miller was alao one IF the bondsmen. Mr..
brennan said he had a man that he wished to
place IN nomination to expert the books. MIR.
Blair, in reply 60 Mr.. brennan, said that &C.
cording TO thu report adopted this morning
the Board had no power to nominate any per-
son for tbs place; that the only thing thas
could be done would be TO approve the selection
made by the bondsmsD. At this point OF the
controversy, the Clerk read another comrnu-
nication signed by Z. II. Russell and A.
Heilhron, of the same COMMITTEES, recon-
mendipg the appointment OF j. E. Hobbie.
MIR. Christy wanted TO kn0| what the con-
troversy was about He said If any expert
was to be appointed he thought the Board Of
Supervisors were the proper ones to make the
appointment. Mr.. Blair said that the adop-
ton of the committees report by the Board
In the morning had taken the appointment
out Of their hands, and for the pur.
pose OF opening the whole matter
he would move to reconsider the
vote By which the report was adopted.
Mr., brennan said he never would nave
signed the report if he had understood i
TO read in that way. If the Board was to pay
the expert. it should have the right to name
him. Mr.. Christy opposed the appointment Of
any expert by the bondsmeu. If the bonds
men wanted Mr.. Bsrley's books expertsd, !
let them secure their own expert and pay
him. Ia his opinion he did not think the |
books wante exporting st present. In a few
months the terms OF the present incumbents
will have expired, and then all the county
officers books will have to be examined. 70 !
commence this E0rk now would be creating
an unnecessary expense. Nc. Bailey said !
that be had been to Mir. Hurtoon and othsrs,
and requested that they put the investigation
OF Tor the present, but that they had declined
the County Clerks books. Mr.. Blai: thsn
