preparation of funds by motion. At
torney Douthitt was asked for his
opinion an0 held that as the County
Act was silent on the method of ap-
propriating funds the board might ap-
propriate by resolution or motion as it
saw fit. Adams thought that a set
form should be adopted so that the
auditor and treasurer would receive

was decided that to each report of a
committee approving bills be added the
words ''and the auditor and treasurer
are hereby notified that the sum of

The reports are to be made out in
