The board of supervisors this
morning completed session that has
lasted all week, adjourning at noon.

of the committee upon county in

if kept would have to be repaired at
once at heavy expense.

was rejected yesterday again

Yesterdays Proceedings.
Yesterday afternoon the judiciary |
reported having effected
a settlement with the supervisors of |
Mercer county of the claims arising
out of the care. of Maria Hilfrich,
for which Mercer county had pre-
scented claims, and for the care of
the Duncan family, for which this
had presented claims. 1t
was recommended that Mercer coun-
ty be paid the sum of SS5, with the
understanding that both cases be
dropped. The report was adopted.
The committees on fees and sal
aries, poor claims and Jail and Jail
claims reported. The latter referred
back a bill of Henry Stengel, amount
ing to $45.OS, for repairing closets,
the charge being deemed excessive
and the work. it appears, having
been undertaken without authority
from the proper committee. The bill
was rejected and a recommendation
adopted that no expenditure be in
cured in any manner without first
giving the proper committee an OPP
portunity to pass upon it, according
to the rules.
