County Board Holds DAVIS Meet
ing Tuesday.
GEO. F. MORGAN GETS A BERTH.
He Is Elected supervisor of Assessors in
Place OF Judge w HI. Irish, Who
Was Disqualified Under De-
cision of Attorney General.

The county board of supervisors
was in session last Tuesday, and at
that time took up the report of the
committee on bills and settlement
with the county officers, accepting
the same. All bills on file with the
clerk were acted upon, and orders
will be drawn for the amount at the
expiration of the five day limit re-
quired by the statutes The amount
of bills audited was very large, and
at the close of the meeting Chairman
Bell stated that the levy for general
purposes had been entirely exhausted
This likely means that the county
will not have another pay day for
a year, unless some way can be de-
vised that will permit the board TO
borrow money on its credit.
The matter of the supervisor of
county assessors came before
the board At the last meeting
Judge w FL. Irish was elected to the
position. The matter was submitted
to the attorney general of the state,
and be held that in as much as Mr..
Irish would be county judge after the
first OF, the year that there might be
considerable question about his eligi-
bility to another county Office. Mr..
Irish was perfectly willing to step
out, and the county board passed a
resolution resembling their former
action in naming i'm as, supervisor of
assessments, and then proceeded to
elect new man. It took eight bal
lots to do this, the candidates voted
for being Alex. Welcome, of Pratt,
D. f. Glover, of bayfield, and George
F. Morgan of this city. Mr.. Morgan
was the victor, and on the final ballot
was elected by vote of five or four
Cor Mr.. Glover.
The board passed a resolution re-
citing the fact that Receiver Frost
and other parties were about to take
up the Battle Axe road, and that the
county had $l85, 900 invested in the
property The district attorney
was instructed to proceed to prevent
the action of the railroad people and
to take such steps as he might deem
necessary. In view of expense liable
to be incurred he was requested to
secure some attorney to assist him at
stated compensation per day, and
it was recommended that the attor-
ney hired be H. H. Hayden, who
would receive $50 day and actual
expenses fer his services.
The matter of investigating a
heating plant for the county jail was
left in the hands of Supervisor Mel
son, of Washburn.
The board adjourned the annual
meeting to February 4th.
There was full attendance of
members.
