to DeLand The dignified chairman did
not approve of such an irregular proceed
ing, and informed Mr.. Arnout that he
must produce his contract or affidavits
to support his claim.
A bill for cofins for nine paupers from
Daytona was presented. The board was
of the opinion that Daytona should bury
her own paupers, and respectfully de-
clined to pay the bill.
The report of the committee on road
from the Halifax River to Sea Breeze
was accepted and the road declared
public highway.
Jas. Cornell was appointed road COM
missioner in District No. 7, vice John
Anderson, resigned.
