allow the county to put up a pump for

consider the action of the board in
stopping work on putting up the horse

Road Commissioner was authorized to
go on and put up the horsepower,
pump and tank.

mend Mr.. Reardon's sprinkling Of the
road, which was the best that could be
done. Up nearer to Folsom there was
being some shoddy sprinkling done.
Mrs. Shields said the committee for
the exhibit at the State Fair was pres
ent, and as there were necessary ex-
penses connected with their work, they
would like to have 1925 of the appro-
priation for that purpose given them, in
order that they might use it.

essary to file a demand, which was
done, and the money was allowed 8

ATTENDANTS FOR LUNATICS.
DR.. Hatch of the State Commission in
Lunacy, addressed the board in rela-
ton to the cells for insane, one of
which was recently wrecked by a pa
tient. He suggested that the board
allow the Sheriff to employ a male at
tendant at such times as there are male
patients and a female attendant for
female patients. 1t would only be nee
essary to have such attendants when
there were patients confined and would
not cost over $50 to SO a month. The
quarters are so far from the Sheriffs
office, he said, that it was obviously
improper to shut up a patient all alone
and there should be some one to care
for and restrain him. There should
also be small stove put in the hall
in cold weather to make the patients
comfortable.
Members of the board inspected the
quarters and on motion of Mclaughlin
made.
1t was ordered that 81 900 be trans
ferred temporarily from the gene, al
fund to the road fund of District No.
4, when the taxes are collected, to pay
for hauling out rock on the road near
the County Hospital.
On motion of Mclaughlin the board
authorized the Sheriff to employ at
PENDANTS for the insane at such times
as necessary, in accordance with the
suggestions of Dr. Hatch
