Seawell favored the resolution. He
believed that the Auditor should be
more than a mere bookkeeper, but
should have gnaater powers and be
able to veto an expenditure by the
Supervisors that was not justified by
law and refuse TO draw his warrant
for it, If it were two years later, he
would move to enlarge the powers and
duties of the Auditor. AS it is not al
lowable TO increase the salary of an
officer during his term of office, how
ever, it would be necessary to create
new office.
Pedlar opposed the resolution. He
did not believe it just when set of
county officials are elected, to set an
other officer to watch them, showing
that they are suspected of rascality. ie
thought it wrong to elect one man to
act as censor upon all his fellow otfl-
Gals whom the people had elected.
Aram thought it was we'll to leave the
matter right where it is and let the
Grand Jury appoint an expert as at
present He thought the present ma
| chinery ample for the protection of the
people and that no good would result
| from the change.
! The resolution was losit-l aye to 81
noes. Seaweu voting aye.

Noble Martin, acknowledging the re-
