and Paul. Journal of previous day

The bill of j. G.. Clark for defending
Thomas Wages was received
Mr.. ROBBINS objected to referring
the bill to the committee on Claims.
He said the labors of that committee
were retarded by bills coming in during
the session, thus making it difficult or
impossible for the committee on Finance
to complete its report in time.
Mr.. hartley said it had been the
custom for the committee on Claims to
receive bills during the session.
MIR. KIDD thought it better to allow
the bill to be referred this time, but to
make rule against receiving bills dur
ing the session in the future.
Mr.. ROBBINS said the same position
was taken last year, but it did no good.
He withdrew his objection, and the
claim was referred.

bringing pauper to the asylum, was
referred to the committee on Claims.
Upon motion of Mr.. McFall. it was

County Property was about to make its

Mr.. WATSON Thoughtful tie duty of
the committe on County Property to

to the committee.
Mr.. WHTcHER said wing to the

wanted a recommendation from the
committee on Insane, and didn't want
to take the responsibility of the expense
OF So 900 for wing. he said his COM
mittee last year had recommended
building laundry. but it wasn't built.
Mr.. MCCALL said it had been found
that the laundry would be in the way
of future contemplated improvements,
so it was not built.
MIR. KIDD suggested that the commit
tee on County Property and the CON-
mittee on Insane hold joint session on
the subject.

good one, and on motion of Mr. McFall |
such session was voted to be held i'm
mediately after this adjournment.

hand in their jury lists.

THURsDAY--EvENING SESSION.
Board met at p. NJ. Roll call--all
present except Messrs. O'Neill, Robbins
and Cox. Mr.. Grimm, chairman of
the committee of Roads and Bridges,
reported on the matter of the Ellenboro
bridge as follows:
TO The Honorable Board of Supervisors
Of Grant County.
The undersigned committee, to whom
has been referred the matter of building
an iron bridge across Platte river at
Ellenboro, beg leave to report as fol
lows: The committee went to Ellen
boro, and after making careful survey
of the abutments and bridge, we find
the upper works of the bridge in pretty
fair condition, with the exception of the
lower cross pieces and flooring. which
are rotten. 1t is the opinion of your
committee that, as the county has al
ready expended in the neigh5orhood of
$3.50 tor new abutment, the town of
Ellenboro, with an expenditure of about
$l25, might put said bridge in good re-
pair, so that it would last at least from
five to seven years.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.
