AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTY.
OPINION REGARDING APPOINT
MENT OF THREE INSPECTORS.
John T. Sorenson Selected-Clerk
Dunbar's Report-Statement From
Several County Officials.

Another meeting of the board of
county commissioners was held late
yesterday afternoon at which the fol-
lowing business was done:
The county attorney sent in an opin-
ion in the matter of the appointment
of fruit tree inspector, saying it was
his judgment that the statute was
mandatory. and an inspector must be
appointed when 100 freeholders and
owners of orchards so request by pc
tition. In this case the petitioners were
defective in their language as they had
not said they were free holders, al
though it was shown they were owners
of orchards. If this board is satisfied
they are free holders il is it's duty TO
grant the petition.
Mr.. Armstrong thought it was to late
to begin spraying at this time.
Hall thought there was a good deal
in the argument in favor of stimulat
ing the fruit industry, and the reason
we don't raise fruit is because the
pests are not kept down. If a wise man
was appointed it would be good thing.
Armstrong said the only way was to-
get a man who would not need watch
ing The abuses which had crept in
Disguised people.
1t was agreed that the inspector
should be appointed to work two
months in this year, and on motion of
Hall, John It. Sorenson was selected, at
a salary of 81 per day, to serve in July
and such other time as the board may
direct.
Clerk Dunbar submitted his state
ment of fees received in June as fol-
lows.
