| MIR. WooDHoUsE moved that the re-
port be adopted.
Mr.. CABANIs objected and moved
| that the report be recommitted to the
committee to enable him to explain the
| situation in his town.
The Board refused to recommit the
report
The CHAIR is moved and second
ed that the report of the committee on
| Highways, Bridges and Ferries, in rela-
ton to appropriation of road money to
towns, be adopted.
The motion prevailed and the report
is adopted.
Mr.. ARNOLD, Chairman of the special
committee on the ordinance relative to
the payment of bounties on wild ami
mails, captured and killed in this county,
submitted the report of the committee.
THE CHAIR-The question is upon the
adoption of the report of the committee.
Mr.. WHlTCHER-If that means a
practical plan to keep the wolf from
our door, | move that it be adopted
| Motion seconded.
| MIR. Brown, of Bloomington, on dis
cussing this matter:-It does not seem
| probable that we can pass the ordinance
as you are all very well aware, not
much benefit accrues to q community
| by trying experiments. There will be
pretty good chance of accommodating
a large quantity of wolf scalps in the
hands of the County Clerk, but that
does not take care of the insane and
the poor. | propose the following SUBJ
stitute for the ordinance:
| ReSO}Ued, That the entire method of
| paying bounties on wild animals be
postponed until the next annual meet
ing of this Board.
| THE CHAIRMAN-Theq question is upon
the substitute offered by Mr. Brown
upon division of the Board.
! The vote stood, eleven for the substi-
tute and twenty-three against it.
THE CHAIRMAN-The Board refuses
| to adopt the substitute
The question is now upon the adop-
ton OF the ordinance, which was read
by Mr.. Arnold.
The ordinance was adopted.
To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors:
Your special committee to which was
referred the resolution of O. j. Arnold,
relative to the payment of bounty on

ton.
