WILL CUT EXPENSES
BOARD OF REVENUE sTAHTs CAMPAIGN or ECONOMY.
In View of the Oppressed Financial Condition of the County Cost of Operations Will Be Great
 ly Reduced.

The Board Of Revenue of Montgomery Bounty has embarked on a campaign oi economy.
 The campaign was begun In view of the depressed financial condition of the bounty. It began with the abolition of two of the three road working outfits, each of which cost the county nearly e7oo . month. The mules. eighteen in number. belonging to one of these outfits were sold at public auction on the list ot March. The mules to the second outfit will be sold in similar manner on the last day of March. The third will be retained to keep up the repair work on the county roads.
 Still another step was taken toward economy when MT. Warren D. Brown yesterday introduced his resolution abolishing all special and standing com- mittees. The Board had in the past named special committees to inspect cer. tain road work and to visit some of the county institutions. The members of these committees drew pay from the county for the services that they rendesed Under the resolution introduced by MT. Brown whenever any inspection is to be doneit will be performed by some skilled person. who will render an itemixed. en- dorsed. bill for the service.
 The Brown resolution was passed with
  Resolved. first That on and after this date all special or standing committees heretofore selected, either by the Board of Revenue or it's presiding officer be and the same is hereby abolished.
 Resolved. second. That in view of the depressed condition of the country treasury the utmost economy consistent with a preservation of the public proper ty and the safety and convenience of travellers, should be practiced.
 Resolved. third. That hereafter. when Aver the Board deems it advisable to order inspections of roads or bridges it shall be its duty, as a measure of economy as well as of efficiency. to select some one to perform this service who is skilled and experienced in such matters. The said empioye shall particularly look after the building and repairing from time to time as he may be required, sub- init estimates whenever requested by the Board and for his service an endorsed bin Is to be rendered.

 The Board went into the election of a special ovsrseer of roads. This election was necessary in view of the fact that two of the county road working outfits had been abolished, leaving only one out fit and a place for only one overseer. The name of W. H. Rives was placed In Som ination for special overseer until the 1st of next January. Mir. Dreyspring said that he was favorable to Mir. Rives. but he did not think that he should he elect ed for the year. He thought that the overseer should hold at the pleasure of tho Board. The motion to make the elec- tion until the list of January. however, prevailed and Mir. Rives was named for that time.
 The Board adjourned to meet on the 18th of March:
