Judges.
In the afternoon the committee APP
pointed by the board to take charge of
the county exhibit at the State Fair
appeared and made it's report.
Mr.. Reed explained why it had been
necessary to incur expenditures tnat
had not been calculated on, in order
to make the exhibit a successful one.
He was satisfied with the general YER
dict of those who attended the Fair,
even if it had been necessary to make
deficiency. He had given much time
with his own horse and buggy in can
wasting and collecting and did not
think he had overcharged for his SER
vices.
Thomas Wait, of the committee, said
that it was agreed among themselves
that each should have $50 for his own
expenses. There was also an agree
ment that help would be paid $l.oO a
day, but one bill called for more.
Chairman Curtis thought the bills
should be paid. The exhibit was a most
attractive one and was a credit to the
county and would undoubtedly do much
good. He thought it was well worth
the cost.
ellis said he did not object to the
amount of pay Of any individual, but
he thought an extra expense OF S24O
should not have been incurred without
consulting the board.
Mclaughlin said he was very sorry
to see this muddle. The exhibit was
a fine one and he thought when it was
put into the hands of the Changers that
it would go along all right Mr.. Reed
and others who did the work should
have their pay.
Curtis said that he knew Reed had
worked faithfully for the success of
the exhibit and he thought he should
be paid.
ellis said he was willing to pay the
deficiency, but would not vote to until
a report was filed.
Mr.. Wait declined to sign Mr.. Reeds
report with the extra claims in it, but
agreed to take his own report and try
to get Mr.. Shields signature on it.
The contractor notified the board that
the new operating room at the County
Hospital was finished and that he
would like some of the members to go
out and examine it and report it
was agreed that Supervisors Curtis and
Mclaughlin would go out and examine
it.
Morris Brooke appeared with COM
mittee of the Oak Park Bicycle Club,
to ask for donation for a bicycle
path
Chairman Curtis informed him that
the law authorized the board to con-
struct bicycle paths, but it could not
make donation.
Mr.. Brooke stated the plans the club
had in mind and Supervisor Curtis to q
him to get UP a proper petition to the
board and present it.
On motion of ellis the County Sur
veyor was instructed to go out and
make a survey of the work asked to be
done, to which the wheelmen could con-
tribute what they had raised and the
county could pay the rest.
]. H. Liggett said there were no side
walks and a path would be a great
accommodation to those who had to
so afoot.
1t was decided to advertise for bids
for groceries, meat, bread and other
supplies for the County Hospital. rs

opened on the 22d.
