No November Session Of Supervisors.

A new point under the biennial
amendment was raised this
week. The amendment has done away
with the regular November session OF
the board of supervisors Of all the
counties in the state. Seo,''' 4l2 Of
the code provides:
'The members of the -!;all
meet at the county seat air re-
spective counties on the . Mon
days in January, April, 5'ne, Sep
tember and the first Monday after
the general election in each year."
AS there will be no general election
this year there can be no REGULAR ses-
sion of the boards of supervisors Of
the state. OF course the legislature
can remedy this at the session next
winter. but nothing can be done for
this year. As far as we have
observed this point has not been
raised heretofore.
