Surveyor Boyd presented map of the
county showing the proposed new bound
aries, and explained them at length to the
Board.
Supervisor Greer thought that there was
plenty OF time to attend to the matter, and
as some changes might be found necessary,
he suggested that the matter lay over for
month.
Supervisors Bates and Tebbets opposed
this, and said that the time was too short
to wait any longer. 1t was necessary that
the change should go into effect on the 1st
of July, and time was needed in which to
notify the persons of the change through
out the county.
Mr.. Coons also said that it was impor-
tant that the changes should be made dur
ing the present session so as to be ready to
90 into effect with the next fiscal year.
1t was finally agreed to adopt the recon-
mendations suggested, but before doing so
formally the District Attorney would be
called upon to direct the Board as to the
legal mode of proceeding.
Recess.
In the afternoon the Board went in
body to Oak Park with the view of ascer-
taining if any damage would be done to
that property by the draining of the County
Hospital grounds through Oak Park by
means of bitches.
1t was found that the proposed drainage
would in no way harm the Oak Park Asso-
cations belongings, so the proper Road
Overseer was instructed to 90 ahead with
the work.
The Board returned to its chambers at
about o'clock. and audited regular bills
until the hour for adjournment arrived.
