All OF which IS respectfully submitted.
TSipned by the committee
Tie report was adopted.

Mr.. WATSON said the committee on
County Roads had no report to make.
Mr.. WHITCHER said the committee
on County Property had made no re-
commentator in regard to the clerk of
courts Office. That Office is badly
crowded with papers and needs more
vault room or something else. A patent
compressor had been presented for
their consideration. A sufficient num-
Der to accommodate the papers in the
clerks Office would cost S240. The
committee had completed their report
and thought they would leave this mat
ter to the board.
The Chairman presented the bill of
Green & Wiley, livery, $3.50; S. c.
Mcdonald & Son, printing, 27.60; DR..
E. j. Buck. medical attendance on in

the bills.

Mr.. WHITCHER again referred to the
crowded condition of the papers in the
clerk of courts office. He said his
committee desired to make some ap-
preparation for that office. When about
closing up their report the agent for a
patent compressor of documents had
offered to furnish the office for 1924.
Mr. Ryan had told him 1t was pretty
late to get the matter into their report
The agent afterward told him (Which
err that he would furnish the Office
with 800 of the compressors for $24O,
express charge paid. Something must
be done and he meyed that the board
appropriate $500 to be left with the
chairman to be expended at his di.cre-

quired. We have also compared the

ing marriages, births and deaths, with
the records in his Office and with the
amounts paid him by the county treas
