Mr.. Smith verified DR.. Hagar's state
ment, and said that the old Board had
entered into a bona ide agreement with
him. The present Board were counting q
lawsuit if they did not ratify the contract,
in which event the taxpayers would bounce
them quicker than q duck could snap up a
junebug.
Mr.. Trofatter-That's what should have
been lone long ago.
Geo. W. Baker asked Mr.. Smith, as a
taxpayer, why his Board had made a con-
tract to pay So, 900, when the law does not
allow them to go beyond $500.
Mr.. Smith claimed that the old Boards
action was lawful, and stuck to it that the
contract was binding.
Mr.. Arlington stated that DR.. Hagar
had informed him he was ready to vacate
at any time in view of the new Boards
action.
DR.. Hagsr stepping into the arena)-
Mr.. Arlington m~isinterpreted my Ian
guage. 1 told him / was ready to step
out when 1 was put out.
The communication VS. ordered to be
The bonds OF Steve J. Naples of Pail
SADIE as Constable were approved.
On motion of Mr.. Trofatter, seconded by
Mr.. Arlington, the Sheriff was authorized
to transfer the safe formerly used by the
Treasurer, Sadler, to the Courthouse for
use in the Sheriff's office. Mr.. Smith op-
posed the motion, and desired to nv the
matter over for a month.
DR.. j. II. Reece put in a bid for the po-
sition of County Physician at $40 per
month. Placed on file.
Ed. Leventhal presented a hid for taking
care Of the county's sick and INDECENT at
the Hospital at 80 cents a day per person
for one year. Placed on file.
A petition, very numerously signed, re-
questing that J.. M. Smith be placed as
~janitor of the Courthouse, was read. Mr..
Smith spoke against making any change.
He said the present %janitor was efficient
and capable. He would like to help his
namesake, but he was not able to perform
the duties. He opposed tampering with
the present employees of the Courthouse
on account of sympathy. The petition
was ordered on file on motion of Mr.. Tro.
fatter.
Matt. Kyle-I would like to have the
attention of the Board a minute or two.
| would like to know what the Board is
going to do about the Jail, I am willing
to take the contract to repair it in the
most approved way, and give the best
bonds for q faithful performance of the
work.
Mr.. Smith-When we conclude to i'm
prove the Jail we will advertise for bids to
do the work.
The Board was about to adjourn, when
District Attorney CARRIER drew attention to
the fact that Assessor Wallace had jumped
a room which was formerly a part of the
District Attorneys office. He would like
to have an order of the Board i%nstructing
the Sheriff to compel the Assessor to
vacate the premises. He needed the room
for private consultations.
Mr.. Trofatter-I don't propose to take
any action in this matter until Black
Wallace returns. 1t would be like taking
snap judgment.
Mr.. Smith-There is no law to compel
the Board to furnish any officer of the
county but the District Judge with a
room. 1 think Assessor Wallace had more
need Of the room than the District Attor-
ney. The Board is not furnishing rooms
to county officers for private CONVERSE
tions. If Mr.. CARRIER has any clients they
can speak to him in his present quarters.
On motion of Mr.. Trofatter, seconded
by Mr.. Smith, the matter was laid over,
and tho Board adjourned.
Immediately after adjournment Mr..
CARRIER requested the Board to meet again
later in the afternoon and accept a propo-
sitiSn from him of $40 a month rent for
the room in controversy. To the best Of
our knowledge the Board did not meet.
