THE COUNTY BOARD.
Official Proceedings Of the Ses-
sions Held Tuesday.-ResO-
luti0ns Adopted.

At an adjourned meeting of the
board Of supervisors for the county
of Daraga, held In the Office of the
county clerk, in the village of L 'Anse,
Tuesday, January 9th, A. d.
1903, there were present su-
pervisors from the several
townships as follows: August
Gilman, Arvon; Peter Girard,
Baraga; John Lyons, Covington;
Frank W. Foote, L'Anse; Joseph
A. Thoney. Spur.
The minutes of the meeting held
December 20, A. D. 1902, were read
and approved.
On motion the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted:
/ Resolved: That 1t is the sense of
this board that concerted effort
should be made to control the USE
less and lavish expenditure OF money
in the case of so called contagious
diseases. This is growing evil and
the boards of supervisors of the state
appear to have no power to put
veto upon the indiscriminate extor-
tion as the law now stands.
We would earnestly urge upon our
senator and representative such an
amendment OF the health law as will,
first: Define and limit as to what
diseases they shall apply; second:
To limit any expenditure at the cost
of the county TO the death or dis
charge TO the patient from the
physicians care, third; To grant to
board OF supervisors the authority
10 make contracts with duly regist-
cred physicians, and capable nurses
for the care of such diseases; or to
permit by law said boards to audit
said bills after hearing from all
parties concerned.
IF this law cannot be amended we
would ask our senator and represent
atiye to have II local act passed as
has been Gone in other counties max
ing special arrangements for Baraga
county in the matter of contagious
diseases.
This board would recommend that
a copy of so much of this resolution
as refers to the amendment OF the
general law, shall be printed in the
form of a circular, and that the county
clerk shall transmit q copy of the
same to the clerk Of the board OF
supervisors of every county Of the
state, asking them TO take similar
action and to forward resolutions
showing such action to their respec-
tive senator's and representatives
and asking them TO consult with the
senator and representative Of this
district, and to aid in such an
amendment OF the law as will prevent
further extortion.
On motion the following resolu-
tion was adopted by the vote fol
lowing:
Resolved, That the question of
, resembling the vote by which the
, county road system was adopted in
said county of Baraga, and the
abolishing OF said county road sys
} TEN 10 said county, be submitted to
vote of the electors Of the said
J county of Baraga, at the general
election to be held in the several
townships in said county on Mon
day, the 9th day Of April, A. d. 1908,
