The Supervisors Make Statement Re-

The board of supervisors yesterday
issued the following statement with re-
gard to the electric clock system at the
court house:
Whereas, It has come to the knowl-
edge Of the board of supervisors that an
impression is prevalent that the clocks
now in the county court house have
been accepted and paid for; in order to
correct this impression, we desire to
state that not 81 nor any other sum has
been or will be paid by the county, for
the clocks now in, or that may be
placed in the county court house
until the same have been fully tested
and found to be perfect time keepers.
The failure of the present electric,
system to give satisfaction is to be re-
gretted, but is in no wise the fault of
the board of supervisors.
