THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Mr.. Melvin Wants The Board To
Appoint Accountant.

The Board of County Commission
ers had busy day with petitions and
other routine matters of the Board.
Among the petitions filed with the
Board was the following by Mr.
George I. Melvin, School Commits
sioner.
Mr.. Melvin takes for his text the
editorial comment in last weeks Ex-
aminer, the Republican weekly pub
lished by Mr.. ID. r. Randall. Who
stated among other things in an edi-
torial that Anne Arundel county is.
we believe, head over heels in debt.
due largely to Severn River bridge
and extravaganza in the delusiye
shells.
That paper further saws, in con-
cluding the same article, that eve
sadly contemplate ruinous taxes for
1906 -
Suoh important statements as these,
says Mr.. Melvin, coming from such
a reputable source, should not be passed
over lightly, especially as they are
generally believed TO be true.
At the beginning of the term of
office of your predecessors two years
ago, / am informed, that an expert
accountant, employed by that board,
made a statement of the county s
finances, which showed an acoumu-
lated outstanding indebtedness of over
$40, 600 and as that board was motor
iously extravagant in its expenditures.
this Indebtedness is believed Co have
greatly increased.
Such being the case, ask your
honorable board in my own behalf as
a taxpayer. and IN behalf of other
taxpayers, to authorize your clerk to
employ an accountant as soon as prac-
ticable to make a definite ascef tain
ment and statement for the exact
floating Indebtedness of the county 20
the end that steps may be taken to
pay the same and put the county
upon q strictly cash basis.
The Board took no special action in
the matter, having already the same
subject under consideration, and will
no doubt act at an early day in the
matter
The Board was notified of the dam
age to the draw of Curtis Greek bridge
by a tug boat running iuto it. and
disabling the draw to such an extent
that it could not be used. The Board
referred the matter to Commissioners
Smith with power 60 act.
The bonds Of the officers appointed
at the previous meeting were filed
and approved. The newly appointed
officers were sworn in aud entered
upon their duties.
Among other matters transacted by
The Board was the examining and pass
ing of election accounts held over from

The two games won by us were shut -outs by a score of to and 13 to 0 (eight .inings), and the two lost by score 2 to tseven innlngs) and to a
 In the early part of the season, with u much weaker lineup than we have now, we won four out of five games played Since strengthening we have played twelve game, won seven and lost four and tied one Counting games of the earlier part of the season we have this record: Played seventeen; won, eleven, lost. five tied, one. So on this record we claim the championship of West Alabama The Sumter county team. which claimed the championship. lost the same when we won two out of three games by a score of 16 to and to 0. The Sumter county games are included in the above record. Sumter county took the best two out of three from Demopols, so. therefore, by winning from Sumter county we claim the championship over Demopolis. Unon- town alone is pitted against us, when the deciding game is to be pulled off in Greensboro on the tenth of August. Yours truly,
