Proceedings of the Adjourned Meeting.
commencing Thursday, Jan. $, 1881.
OFFICIAL REPORT.

The following petition was presented:
To TIE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF iowa
COUNTY:
GENTLEMEN We who sign below re-
spectfully show that all but one OF Inc
newspapers which has any part thereof
printed In the county is in one way or
another recognized as official, and au-
thorized to print the proceedings OF
your board and be paid therefore. We
have noticed that at every meeting OF the
Board complaint has been made by some
OF the papers of the county OF Ill treatment,
that at every term committee on print
ing has been appointed. The extra expense
tofhe county 10 have all the papers printed
in the county publish the proceedings Is
but little. We further find that the com
pensation for printing the proceedings,
considering the space occupied, Is far iess
than that charged for ordinary adver
Using. Now therefore we request
that all the papers printed in tie county
be declared by the Board the official pa
peIs of the county and that each thai
shall print the proceedings be paid sum
not greater than is now paid 10 such pa
pers as has printed such proceedings
We ask that the Board pass the follow
ing resolution, VIZ: That the Barneveld
Register, the Eye u Star, the DodgeVille
Chronicle, the Dodgcville Sun, the Iowa
County Democrat and the Mineral Point
Tribune, are declared each to be the Off
Cial paper of this county, and mat each
of them that shall publish the proceed
inps of this board be paid the sum LOW al
lowed for that work.
Charges have been made that recent
member of Your board took more from
the county for his services than he earned
and that some of the members knew of II
at the time; We desire TO express our flrm
disapprovsl Of such practice, and demand
repayment Of the sum taken however
small that sum may be, and hope the com
mon rules Of multiplication, addition, di-
vision and subtraction will he fairly APP
piled in estimating the amounts due TO OF
from the county.
The matter of visiting the county asy
lum by the board as "a body seems 10 us
not productive of as much good as the
cost is TO the county. we therefore wish
the board to consider the matter and eX-
ercise sound discretion
We believe it best that an itemzed
statement of all expenditures of the coun-
ty asylum and poor iarn be flied with the
county Clerk, no matter what the law may
be on the subject we therefore ask that
the board require this 10 be done.
We are opposed to the county giving
any sum towards purchasing a new fair
ground, and ask that the resolution now
before the board be defeated which asl;
or look to such giving of money. Shout
any member consider that any of Oul
wishes herein expressed are not for the
best interest of the public we ask iha
such member or members give their rca
son, in writing. therefore and have the
same pnbliphed in the board proceedings
that we may know the errors we hav,
fallen into and who it il that has enlight
ened us. All who sign this paper are voters
and tax payers of Iowa county.
