BY Freebooter Ellis:
Whereas, There seems to be a we'll
founded impression. TO put it mildly,
that the acts relative to and providing
for county parks are Unconstitutional
and therefore void, and il that be SO IL is
clearly the duty of this Board TO pre-
vent, so far as may be possible, the ex-
penditure Of moneys for park purposes;
therefore.
Resolved, That the County Collector
he and is hereby notified Of the condition
of things as above intimateo. and he is
further notified that any further
expenditure OF moneys for park
purposes would, in the opinion of
this Board, be in violation of law,
and for this reason this Board hereby
directs that no further payment of money
be made for or on account of park pur-
poses upon any %pretence; this Board. IN
passing the foregoing. reserve h right
to take such further steps in the premises
as, upon further consideration, may seem
to he necessary and proper.
