read the following report:
To the Honorable Board of Super
yiSOrS Of Wood county, Wisconsin,
Gentlemen: At the November meet
ing Of this board, the bill of A. L.
FOntaine against Wood county.
amounting to the sum Of 1884. 90, for
publishing the notice of election, and
the proposed banking law for twelve
| ~ weeks was referred to the district
attorney OF said Wood county request
ing an opinion as to whether or not
the same is a proper charge against
said county.
After a careful examination of the
law relative to the publication Of
election notices, | will say that in my
| opinion there was no authority for the
| secretary OF state to include the pro-
| posed banking law in his notice sent
| to the county clerk of this or any
other county, and the county clerk
had authority to publish only such
| part Of the notice sent him by the
secretary of state as related to the
officers to be voted form this county:
as held in the case of Fernandez VS..
| WinnebagO county, % Wis. 247.
Therefore [ would respectfully re
commend that Mr.. FOntaine be
allowed the regular fee for publishing
the notice of election of the state
officers, representatives in congress-
state senators, members of assembly
and county officers to be voted for in
Wood county, amounting in all to
$3.50 and that the balance of Said
bill be rejected for the reasons above
stated. Respectfully submitted,
ID. d. CONWAY,
Dist. Atty.
Moved and seconded that the report
of district attorney be adopted.

Claim Of Wood county VS.. Portage
county, for aid furnished Harriet
Campbell in 1897, disallowed by county
board of Portage county November
30, 1898, was reported by district
attorney D. D. Conway as not being

filed against town of Hull where it is
alleged that the said Harriet Camp
bell had legal residence at the time
aid was furnished by Wood county,
the town of her residence being liable.
Portage county not being under the
county poor system.
Moved and seconded that the
district attorney be authorized and
empowered to bring action and he be
REIMBURSED any necessary expense
outside Of his Office. Carried.
