]. c. Boyd, E. r. DAILY and L. C. Sni-
der, viewers On the petition for the
abandonment of the alley in block IS,
Oak Park, bounded by Sacramento ave-
nue., Thirty sixth street and Laurel
avenue in order to improve the lands
of the Capital School District and build
an addition to the schoolhouse was
read and the hearing set for July Sd.
The report of j. c. Boyd, John
Rhoades and Ed B. Heath, viewers on
the proposed alteration of a portion of
the county road near the site of the ola
McCTacken bridge, on the lands of
James and Philip Ryan, was read, rec
ommending $50 damages for fencing.
Supervisor Jenkins said it woulo
straighten the road and avoid going
over mound. 1t would benefit the
county.
Supervisor Morrison thought the road
would benefit Mr.. Ryan and give him
more land. He thought Mr.. Ryan could
have afforded to pay the county $50
instead of receiving it.
This being the time for electing two
members of the County Board of Edu-
cation, j. E. Blanchard, W. L. Willis
and Alb. Hunter We're placed in nominal
ton, and the two former We're elected
| Considerable discussion was aroused
by the fact that Supervisor ellis ask
ed to have his vote passed thempora-
rily and voted last. The Chairman
stated that Supervisor ellis would be
allowed to vote.
! Supervisor Morrison said there was
another matter that should be taken up.
The late Grand Jury had criticised the
board for not advertising for potatoes.
eggs, hay, ETC., for the hospital. He
was willing to do so, but the board had
done so before and lost money by it on
account of lowering of prices. Still, he
was willing to advertise for bids At
Tlr- h Oh, TOD
/ ing the hay furnished under contract,
as it was so poor.
Supervisor Curtis wished to call the
attention Of the board to one thing in
the Grand Jury report, which stated
that the board had not advertised for
wood last year. He had told the jury
in their rooms that the board certainly
did, for he had not been called on to
buy any wood. He went to the foreman
and expert and told them that he boar
did advertise, and they said very likely
it did, but the statement was in the
report all the same
Supervisor Morrison said there was
the matter of coal. If hard coal was
used it should be advertised for, but
he did not consider it necessary for soft
coal. When he was Chairman of the
Hospital Committee the county had to
pay So a ton for coal. Now it uses
Tesla coal, and it only costs 81 a ton.
| He had found that parties in town
using the coal say it is much cheaper
than they could get coal before.
! Supervisor Curtis said nothing was
! to be gained by advertising for COAL
supervisor Morrison stated that the
FUNDS of the hospital are now in such
shape as to allow of the building of the
operatlng-room at the hospital for
which DR.. White has so long asked.
He moved that DR.. White be author
lied to have such plans prepared as
are desirable and present them to the
board. Another thing he wished to
! speak OF was power at the hospital. It
as being lighted by electricity but it
is also paying $50 a month for power
for heating and for flushing the sewers
me county is paying an engineer and
steam is kept up constantly. He be-
! lieved that the board should advertise
for lighting and should use power from
the steam plant. One pump is run
ming, but the other is not in
position to run, as the steam pump has
been for some time pumping sand If
anything should happen to the motor
pump they would be without water.
The steam pump should either be move d
and another we'll dug or another pump
should be got and run by steam
Supervisor Curtis said that if the
board would give the pump and motor
to Oak Park for water purposes he
thought it could get power free for the
hospital.
Supervisor Morrison said they could
put the pump outside and use it for ir-
rigation.
Supervisor Curtis said it would cost
\ 500 to bore new WELL 1t was a bad
position for the pump. The well gave
out in the first place, and they sank it
100 feet deeper, making it 236 feet, and
it seems to be in good shape, with bet
ter water, but after while it began to
pump sand. There should be two wells.
in first-class order.
Supervisor Jenkins said the Chairman
of the committee had suggested an
operating room. The matter had been
considered for two or three years and
was badly needed. He would move that
the Chairman of the board and the
Chairman of the committee consult with
DR.. White and prepare plans and speci-
