] ing of the petition.
| The matter was taken up again later on

been some irregularity about the petition
i 1t appeared that two OF the viewers
were signers Of the petition, and as thi,
was contrary to law. the names had beer
scratched off the petition by the thirc
viewer. The Supervisors were afraid

/ ings and were in favor of appointing new
viewers and calling for new report
| But the attorney for the petitioners de
clared that the irregularity made no ma.
! terial difference, so the report was ac-
! copied, and Wednesday of next months

been regularly allowed, but that the war
rants had not been sent for.
| Mr.. Barron of Center Township ap-
peared before the board and complained
that a public road out there had been
partly INSTRUCTED by fence.
The matter was referred to the ROAD
Committee for investigation.
NO MAHOGANY FENCES.
| A discussion ensued as to the obligation
of the board to fence a certain road il
| District Nc III, near Suttervllle. 1t an
| peared that the board had agreed to allow
| Mr.. Reynolds sufficient damages for the
| land to build the fence.
"W hat kind of fence do these peopls
wantY' asked Supervisor Bates: zone
of mahogany?"
''Well, no." said the Chairman; ST pre-
sumo black walnut one will do. and il
wouldn't cost so much.''
"What have these people been doing
for the last thirty years ?'' asked Bates.
'"They have been permitted to get out
through Mr.. Reynolds land" replied
Chairman Greer, 'but now he wants tc
close his land"
Yes" said Mr.. Bates, 'they got ont al
right when they were poor, and now thai
they ride In carriages they want nice
| rCad.n
The discussion developed the fact thai
! Mr.. Reynolds wanted four-board fence.
while the Supervisors thought that
three-wire fence, with posts sixteen fee
| apart, would be about the proper thing
! The conditions of the petition did MOI
| provide for any particular kind of fence.
| 1t was finally decided to allow about
! 500 for the fence, so that Mr.. Reynolds
| might build any kind OF fence he de-
sired.
sTXTEENTH-sTBEET ROAD.
| supervisor jenkins reported that he
| was not prepared to make report on the
Sixteenth street road matter, and was
| granted further time.
! Matt. +. Johnson, counsel for Mr.
! Silsby, hoped the matter would be taken
up for action at this session.
Supervisor Bates thought that Mr.
Silsby might go ahead and grow his crops
! If he wanted to; it would take several
months to dispose of the matter.
! Pending further consideration of The
matter, the board took recess.

/ license bonds of Frank TarraI. C.. NJ

called up again, but the board decided tc
stand by its former action, giving the
| committee further time.

! received some thirty-nine coyote scalps
since he last reported, and the slayers
were anxious for the money. The Cierk
