resolution:
WHEREAS. 1t is for the best Interests of Grant
county that the committee having immediate
vision over the poor and insane of said county be
| composed in whole in part of persons having had
some practical experience in such duties; therefore
| Res0iUed That the chairman Of the county board
Of supervisors be and is hereby authorized appoint
from the freehold residents of said county three per-
sons to act as such committee, to for the
term OF one year. one for tive years and for three
years; TO I'LL all vacancies caused by DEATH resgna-
ton or other cause, other than expiration of term for
which appointed, and at each succeeding annual
meeting Of the county board Of supervisors fill the
h<fe II
| one member for the term Of three years.
During some discussion as to whether
the resolution should be treated as priv
LEGGED or lie over, Mr.. Watson moved to
adjourn, but subsequently withdrew his
motion.
Mr.. ROBBINS thought that now, be-
fore the committee was appointed, was
the proper time to discuss the resolu-
ton; that the committee ought not to
be transient, but somewhat perma-
nent one. 1t is the object to make this
institution self-sustaining, and to do so
needs men of experience on the CON-
mittee. 1t is important that two of the
members should hold over.
Mr.. WATSON called the gentleman to
order, and the chairman put the ques-
ton whether the resolution be con-
sidered at that time. The vote was for
the negative and the resolution was laid
over.
Mr.. KICKS moved that the rules of
the board for last year be adopted.
Several members wanted to know
what those rules were.
The Chair stated that they were the
rules of the legislature of Wisconsin. SO
far as applicable.
Mr.. WATSON moved to adjourn to Z
Pm. Carried.
