A petition asking for the creation O
a new town out OF territory now com
prising the towns of Day and Bergen
was referred to the Judiciary committee
This committee later reported in favor

people at the next election in April, and
the report was adopted.
A petition from the county school OF
agriculture, asking for an appropria.
ton of $500 for the erection of barn
on the school grounds was read. The
principal, r. b. Johns, addressed the
members on the needs of the barn, stat
ing that such building is needed for
the storage of vegetables which are
raised on the grounds and which ought
to be used in the domestic science de-
partment, instead of being sold to store
keepers because of lack of storage
room, as is at present being done. The
building, he stated, is also needed for
the storage of lumber used in the
manual training department, also for
the housing of the team used on the
grounds during the summer season.
Ii the barn was built, he further stated,
the school would be given heads of
vicinity, for such gifts had been
promised. The barn, he said, could be
built by the boys of the manual train
ing department, thus saving expense
and at the same time giving the boys
practical work in carpentry, The
matter was at the time referred to the
ON afa hn
board visited the school and saw the
needs of the building. The committee
thought $500 would not be sufficient to
erect barn commensurate with the
other buildings, and recommended that
sum not to exceed $1,000 be appro-
priated for the erection of solid brick
barn of more liberal proportions than
included in the modest request of the
school. The committee was instructed
to secure plans and cost.

labor was fixed at $4 per day.
The Record publishers asked for an APP
preparation of $500 for a write-up of the
county to appear in a souvenir edition
to be printed. The matter was referred
to a special committee. Later, upon
of the district attorney
