Fairmont pike be instructed to charge to
road and passing his gate, the same rate Of
toll as heretofore fixed for the Wheeling
and Elm Grove road.
Adopted.
Resoired, That an additional ~appropria-
tions of $3.50 be made for the construction
of said Frazier's run road to the first bridge
beyond the county line.
Mr.. Speidel-lf you adopt this re solution
and keep going on at the present rate OF
voting 500 or 800 or 5 1000 at every meet
iIg, you had better at once increase your
levy to 20 cents. With the present 6-cent
levy it will hardly be possible to make
both ends meet.
Mr.. DelbIugge-The gentleman from Clay
isn't usually so anxious about the county
treasury. At former meetings he has
been foremost in the work OF voting mon
ey whenever it was to go to any OF his pet
schemes.
Mr.. Speidel-I will just say to my gilt
edged friend from over the creek, that the
rcason | voted for the Short Creek road
was because it is one OF the most import
ant roads in the county, 1t runs from
some place to some place. 1t isn't a o
running up to some gran gers fem, and
used but once a week. .
Mr.. D~elbrugge-Or wasn't it a case OF
cutting Off your nose to spite your face?
Mr.. Speidel-If that was by object, it will
only spite my own face, and not that OF
any n else.
MATCHMAKING NORTH AIN STREET.
By Mr.. Boring -,
ResOlred, That the county pay One-half
the expense of matchmaking the river
road from Jonathan's rayine to the city
line.
The Cbalrman-Is this work to be done
by the city and the county pay half the ex'
pense?
Mr.. Boring-Yes, sir; by the Board Of
Public Works.
Mr.. Nichols Il think there should be
some restriction as 10 the amounto OF money
expended.
The Chairman-The resolution should be
defeated. | am opposed to mixing up
county and municipal affairs.
4 recess was here taken until , p. NJ.
Afternoon Session.
The Board reassembled at 2:25.
The consideration of Mr.. Behring'S reso-
luton was resumed. ,
Mr.. Maxwell--The city has just as much
right TO ask us to pave part OF one OF the
streets in the central part Of the city, as 70
expect onr cooperation in this matter.
Mr. Delbrugge-I am in favor OF the res
olution. and hope it will 90 through.
Mr.. Woods mir. Boring in the chair
hope the motion will not prevail. The
city las lust as much right 10 ask us tc
pave part of the street in front OF thl:
coart house as the part OF the River road
in question. Let us make the boundary lint
Of The city the limit of our expenditures.
The resolution was adopted-ayes, d
nays, /.
Mr.. Woods-Now, are these repairs oI
The city streets 10 90 on indefinitely, from
year to year, or is it for one year only?
think this ought to De settled.
MIR. Maxwell-This Board can only pro
vide during its existence.
The gentlemen voting aye stated that il
vas their understanding that the work wa
not to extend beyond one year.
Mr.. Stein here offered the following:
ReSoi,cd, That the County S~uperinten
dent be instructed to assist in overseeing
the work, and hat the work apply to thi:
year only.
Mr.. Comerford-I think there should be
some limit to the sum to be expended.
Mr.. Stems resolution was adopted.
SHORT CREEK RoAr.
BY Mr.. Nichols
Rcsoiyed, That 81 900 be appropriated fol
the main item of the Short Greek road &c
assist in grading.
Mr.. Nichols-My object in asking fol-
this money is that in 1851 the work was moi
finished, and the flood since then makes
the expenditure necessary.
Mr.. ~Delbrugge-l oppose the grant. ]
consider it entirely unCalled for, and hope
- Mill ka Tho plaaCnra nf this Hoard mt IN
favor the expenditure.
Mr.. Comerford also opposed the motion
and the question being put by the chail
the motion was lost.

THAT AWNING AGAIN.
Mr.. Delbrugge moved that the vote by
which the awning was held from the Re.
corder's office be recOnSidered.
The motion to reconsider was adopted.
Dir. Delbrugge then moved the adoption
of the original resolution.
Mr.. Speidel-I amend by inserting one
for Mr.. McCulloch and two for this room.
If we are going into the awning business,
We might as well be comfortable all
around.
Mr.. Prince move TO lay on the table.
The motion to lay on the table was lost.
Mr.. Comerford-I don't see the use OF
all this fuss because Mr.. Hook asks for the
awning.
Mr.. Boring took the floor, but his re,
marks being OF a somewhat personal IA,
.ture, he VS. called to order and subsidized.
Mr.. Speidel-lf we give Mr.. Hook an avn.
ing Mr.. McCulloch will probably come here
at the next meeting and want an awning.
and Judge Boyd may put fin a bid. /
think 1t is useless expendi'
ture. Mr.. Hooks room has been
occupied as recorders stice
ever since the Court House was erected,
and this is the first discovery that an avn
ing is indispensable. II Mr.. Hook is not
satisfied With his office, he had better re-
