ner of the land owned by the county

ing natural roadway, ?nd that the

DIR. Armstrong brought up the sub.
iect of the selection of trustees for the
asylum. Two vacancies we're to be
filed, one through the expiration of
Mr. Grimm's term ana one to take the
place of Col Clark, who was appointed
10 fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. Nc
Falls election as superintendent. He
thought the selection should be made
not only to give each district a repre-
sentative on the board, but that they
should be particularly qualified for their
duties. as special treatment was neces-
sary for the unfortunates. They were
only human after all, although slightly
out of joint, and many we've made
worse by being closely confined.
Mr.. Heir said that the second district
out 10 have representative.
Mr.. Day thought it did not matter if
all the trustees came from one district
only so they were competent. On his
motion the subject was laid over until
the full board was present.
Mr.. Gates, of Beetown. asked per-
mission to withdraw petition to lay out
road in Beetown. No objection per-
mission was granted.
On motion OF Mr.. Day board ad
journed to Friday morning at $50.
