to do so. And / move that these word
be added to the resolution. That N,
censure is meant to the Chairman o
this Board, to the Sheriff, or any othe
officer.
THE CHAIRMAN-Ihe question is upoi
the adoption of the resolution with tn,
amendment.
| The resolution was adopted with tn,
amendment
The Chairman of the committee oil
printing Offers the following resolution
for consideration and adoption by thi:
Board.
Resolved, That the full proceedings
of this Board, including tabular state
ments, be published in the Platteville
Witness, the Lancaster HERALD, the
Teller and the Boscobel Dial at cost
not to exceed S25. each. and that the
county clerk procure 100 copies of the
proceedings in pamphlet form at cost
not to exceed S25.
Mr.. WooDHoUsE-I am here repre-.
senting the village of Bloomington. We
have as Industrious, driving, enterpris-
ing people as there is in the county,
and we have newspaper in our town
that we feel interested in and are try
ing to support, and think if the Dial,
| the Witness, the HERALD, and the Tel
Ter are to receive S25. each for printing
the proceedings. it is fair that the
Bloomington Record should be in
cluded in the list on equal terms. ]
move to amend the report by adding
the Bloomington Record.
Mn. WATSON calls attention to the
Montfort Monitor and thinks il should
be included. The editor of that paper
needs money to run his paper.
Mr.. RoDoLF--It may be well to
make some explanation on that matter.
We know there are a good many pap
| ers in the county. Our first idea was
to publish in one paper in each Assem-
bly, District. But there is no representa-
tive here to take the notes for other
papers than those in Lancaster. / did
| injustice to my own district perhaps,
but it is right for the men who spend
their time here to report the proceed
ings to have the appropriation tor pub
LEGATION. We have always paid one
hundred dollars. 1t was at my sug-
gestion that the Teller was added to the
list; some read the teller who do not
read the HERALD. | cannot support
the amendment. Four papers are
enough
Mr.. WooDHoUsE-ft is unfair to
those who read the Record that it should
be excluded. We are assessed in our
town $4,000 We are the fifth in
amount on the assessment rolls to-day
and we are now no small part of Grant
county, and we think that we should not
be left out in the cold in this matter.
If we cannot get a part for our paper
we shall advise the proprietor to move
into Lancaster and go into the ring
so as to get share
Mr.. WHITCHER-There is a demo-
cratic paper in Platteville, The Times.
will speak for the Times, not only as
democrat but as an honorary democrat
j. c. Cover initiated me as an honorary
democrat. He said / was like the
hoops of barrel. | furnished the OPP
position that kept the republican party
from falling to pieces in these parts. L
think you would do as well to include
the Times.
Mr.. Johnson see no better way
printing to the four points of the COM
pass. We think our paper second to
none in the county. 1t is a new ven
ture commenced at Woodman about
the time the c. & N. w. r. II. was
built, and commenced without a,dol-
lar and has become quite an important
paper.
The CHAIR-Shall the Bloomington
Record be added to the listP
Upon vote the Chairman concluded
the motion was lost, and as some seemed
to doubt, a division of the house was
called for and the vote stood Is for
and l9 opposed. The amendment was
lost.
The CHAIR The question is upon the
resolution.
Mr.. KIDD have never known the
Board when there were two papers pub
lished to allow anything for the publ
cation of proceedings in more than
one. ! move to amend the resolution
SO as to publish in only one paper in
each Assembly District.
The CHAIR-The question is upon
the adoption of the amendment.
MIR. RODoLF-I 1t does not amend; it
changes the whole resolution. You
can vote down the report of the COM
mittee, but you can not palm that off
onto me for an amendment.
Mr.. Perhaps it is unparlia-
mentary and will offer as substitute
that the printing be given to the Platte
vile Times, the Bloomington Record
and the Montfort Monitor.
Mr.. WATSON do not think it will
work very well, for notice one of the
papers has reporter here taking notes,
and is probably setting up the types.
If the substitute is adopted, not one of
those who are here at work will get any
thing, and that would be unjust. |
think the committee done their duty
well, and we had better leave it as they
left it.
MIR. CABANIs The committee, when
they took up this matter, had an eye to
economy. AT first we thought of confin-
ing the publication to one paper in each
Assembly district. But we wanted to do
justice to the papers represented here.
There are other papers to which is
also due just as much that portion of
justice. think it wise for the people of
the county to know what the County
Board is doing. Some thought that hav-
ing the proceedings published in every
paper in the county would be extrava-
CANT 1t would be in one view, but we
should not take this view. The proceed
ings should be in every household in the
county, should be read by every family
and taught to every child.
Mr.. HARFoRD-There has been a
good deal of contention about the county
printing and talk about spread
ing the news. We pay for the
news individually; and if the paper
we pay for does not give us
the news, the editor cheats us out of our
rights. Better let the printing to the
lowest bidder.
MIR. WATSON -S75 or 800 will pay
for printing it. ! am just as well salts
fed as of anything that all of the papers
will publish it. S25 each does not pay
anything at all like expenses. If you
undertake to make the change proposed,
you must leave out the papers that have
been represented here.
Mr.. WooDHoUsE-My motion to
amend seems to have raised quite a con-
troversy here. am satisfied the mem
bers did not very well understand the
proposition. | now move that the vote
be re-considered, and that the vote be by
division. Mr.. Beebe suggests way out
of the difficulty. Let the Board allow
the reporters who have been in attend
ance fair sum for such services. and
the report to be public property. and lei
