County Commissioners.

The county commissioners were in
session nearly four days this week.
Judge AfcGrath was duly initiated and
proved an active member of the board
Bills to the amount of S5.6O6 were al
lowed, and this after the closest scru-
tiny had been given each bill. Several
hundred dollars was saved the county.
E. Sample was emplyed by the board
to assist them in looking up all knotty
questions.
All applications for new townships
were laid over for further eonsidera-
ton.
Sexton township was not granted for
the reason that the affidavit of the pub
Usher showing that the petition had
been published, was not at hand. Geo.
H. Sexton attempted to remedy the de-
feet by making affidavit as a reader of
the paper, but such evidence was not
competent. The trouble about the
new township of Hazelton was that it
appeared TO be asked for only by New
Kiowa people, and the board decided to
wait until Hazelton was heard from.
The board announced that hereafter
il will allow no bills for letter-heads,
bill-heads and envelopes ordered by the
county officers, they being required to
furnish these articles. They also an
nouuced that hereafter all stationery
aud books must be ordered only on the
written authority of the county clerk.
Several road petitions were presented
and acted on. The notices of roads
ordered opened will appear in this paper
next week.
