AS will be readily seen by referring
to the figures the total reduction in
assessment from last year is 1854, 472,
of which $165, $50 comes off of the city
and $3.50, 342is taken off the assessment
of the county towns. This may look
all right to the supervisors but to the
average tax payer in the city it looks
as If the city had gotten a little the
worst of adjustment as usual. How
ever, the city is used to it.
| The contract of Sheriff-e1ect Veitch
in the sum of $1,000 for the year was
accepted and the board adjourned till
| 9 o'clock Friday morning.
At the Friday morning meeting of
| the board the bonds of District At
torney-e1ect Baker, Coroner-elect
Robinson and County Clerk Crosby
were favorably reported by the com
mittee on official bonds and accepted
by the board.
At the meeting of the county board
Friday afternoon very little outside of
the routine business was accom-
plished.
The claim of ]. B. Ma1oney, clerk. of
the circuit court, was reported by the
| committee on claims, and 1865. 10 was
| allowed as fees.
The claim of Geo. B. McCarron
justice of the peace, in inquest cases,
was reported by the committee and
allowed in the sum of $42.10.
A motion was carried to the effect
that the bond of the county treasurer
be fixed at $4,000 in accordance with
law.
A motion was also carried that the
county clerk be empowered to pay
one-ha1f of the cost of the Paris and
Bristol bridges now in course of con-
struction, upon the order of the Joint
committee on bridges when the
bridges are completed. This motion
was carried under the provisions of
the statute, that if town builds a
bridge, of which the cost is more than
one-eighth of one per cent of the last
equalized valuation fixed by the coun-
ty board, then the town is entitled to
aid from the county in payment of the
same to the extent of one-half the cost
of the bridge. In pursuance of this
motion the chairman of the county
board appoints committee of two
from the county board to act with the
town committee on bridges, to watch
the progress of the work and look out
for the interests of the county.
