The Board of County Commissioners
met in regular monthly session at 1890
o'clock yesterday morning, all the mem
bsrs being present.
The bill Of S. J. Eilifrilz, amounting to
$27i So for road work, about which there
is q serious dispute, was referred 10 the
Committee on Roads and Bridges.
The Committee on Court House and
Jail reported, among other things, that the
county acquire the title to the property
east of the Court House, for use as a site
for a county jsil. 1t will be remembered
that about six weeks sgO the Committee
sent in a resolution of that nature, but it
was laid aside at the November meeting, in
order to give an opportunity to hear from
Mr. Anton Reymaun. The Committee
afterwards restfirmed its action in the fol-
lowing resolution:
| "Rcs0lrsd. That the Committee on Court House
and all be and is hereby authorized aud direct
| ed TO take the necessary steps 10 obtain title TO
I the property situate Just eastOf the Court House.
| being The north east quarter OF the square upon
which the Public Building stands. "
The measure reported from the commit
tee was discussed at considerable length,
the point being raised that the committee
ought to obtain cast, etc, and then report
10 the Board, rather than complete the
| transaction itself, as seemed to be cOntem-
plated by the language of the resolution.
Mr.. McGegor ssled whether the Board
would fix figures for an offer on the various
pieces. In reply to this, the President said
that was rot necessary. The committee
wOuld notify the owners they wanted the
property for public purposes, and ssk for
the lowest figures. II the figures so OBJ.
tanned were not satisfactory, the committee
coald so report to the Board, and the Board
would order condemnation proceedings.
Ia like msnDer the committee would report
| if any one should decline to sell.
Finally tire resolution was amended by
adding the words:
THAT said committee proceed to condemn,
| and report the result OF said proceedings 10 the
Board
TIE committee also reported resolu.
/ ton. allowing the Light Guards, Company
