The board of county commissioners
decided yesterday to pass claims only
on the first and third meeting day Of

both the board and the county auditor
from much bother from people who hav'
claims against the county and come
around every week to have them passed
upon.
EX-County Auditor Mrs. Game put In
an appearance at yesterdays session OF
the board with her annual report in
hand, but for some reason or other she
did not file it, although Deputy Au-

board. said that the report was fin
ished and would undoubtedly be hand
ed in by Mrs. Game. AS the report has
already been published in The Herald,
however, the public knows its contents,
and there is no rush about filing it with
the board.
