lowing resolution:
Whereas, the resolution offered this
day by Commissioner SWEET in effect in
sinuates that some material de-
tails Of the proceedings of the board of
county commissioners have heretofore
been omitted from the published reports
and thus reflects somewhat upon this
board, and
Whereas, it has not been customary
heretofore, on account of pity and regard
for the feelings of worthy needy poor, to
publish the names and the items enum-
Grated in the vouchers presented for
supplies and maintenance of the needy
poor, and
Whereas, this being the only portion
of the proceedings of the board hereto
fore omitted from the official proceed
ings as published, therefore be it
Resolved, that in Difference to the ex-
pressed wishes and desires of Commits
sioner SWEET it is hereby ordered that
the published proceedings hereafter shall
contain the names of needy poor and the
items in detail enumerated on the vonch-
ers for their maintenance and that IN
other respects the proceedings be pub
lished hereafter as heretofore, which
means that they be published in full
and cover all the official acts of the
board.

resolution, Commissioners SWEET, WEIGH
and johnson voted yes.
