Mrs. S. E. Moore of Freeport ap-

entity, and addressed the board, ask
ing that the road from Willow Slough

should be taken care of.

was ordered that the road be sprinkled

Supervisor Morrison called attention
TO two bills of Miller & McMullen for
burying indigents at the County Hos
pital, for $31 each
He said that on one of them was
Endorsed the opinion of the District
Attorney that they were not legal in
face of the resolution of the board
limiting the expense of such funerals
to $500, unless some member of the
board had authorized the burial. The
coroner, he said, based his right to
fix the sprice for burial expenses on
a section of the Political Code, but the
bill was not for the Coroners expense,
but a bill of the undertaking firm. In
view of the District Attorneys opin-
ion, he moved that the bills be al
lowed for $3.50 each, and the motion
was carried.
The board took a recess till this
morning at 10 o'clock
