payers had frequently complained of the
Board for not stating clearly in print the
items for which bills were allowed, and, as

move that hereafter the Clerk publish the
items as was his custom before the Board
prohibited him from doing 30.

was the proper construction of the law,
and was in favor of having the items pub.
lished in such form as to be clearly and
fully understood.

no doubt but the intention of the Trainer
