I disagree with ;heIr conclusions con 2 srning county or circuit courts, m toto; may say the same iu reference tO tam eriug with the school moneys. In refer V nee to increasing the salary of the Dis net Attorney. I am in accord with the sntlments of the Board. In conclusion, allow me to say that l 6 iuch prefer to have the several gentle T len of the Board write to me indivii- c ally theIr views, as they then might be V by some reasons for their pinIons, and in that event would az peal | , my judgment and have greater eight. A resolution and a seal are a DOT substitute for argument.
 Very respectfully,
