Supervisor Vieriech of the special com
mittee appointed to contract for livery,
submitted the following majority report:
Your committee to whom was referred
the resolution of Supervisor Stoddard TO
investigate the propriety of receiving bids
and making contracts with the lowest bid
der, for the letting of livery hire to the
| sheriff and his bailiffs, would beg leave to
make the following report: We find that
| upon IN investigating the proposed plan we
/ think it inexpedient for your committee
/ to make such a contract for the following
reasons. namely:
| /. That great many times the sheriff
can save time by sending papers to his
| baillffs in different parts of the county or
| by taking the train.
| 2 If confined to but one livery man, he
| may call upon said livery man for the i'm
| mediate use of rig. when said livery
| mans rigs were all out, and he would be
compelled to wait or 60 somewhere else,
which would be an extra expense on the
county.
3. We call the attention of this board
TO the fact that this board can only make a
contract for their terms of Office, and the
time being almos' out we thought it best
not to make contract for so short time |
4. The real object or purpose for
which such centr act was to be made is |
already accomplished by former resolu- |
ton adopted by this board.
