SUPERVISORS IN JOINT SESSION
Harrison and POttRUattamie County
Boards on Drainage Ditches

Harrison and POttRUattamie County
Boards ON Drainage bitches.
The supervisors OF Harrison and Potta-
wattamie counties recqryened in joint ses-
sion yesterday to take up the matter Of
the assessment for benefits from the con-
struction of the joint drainage bitches.
The hearing of protests against the as
sessment has been scoufpieted and the
boards are now engaEep IN attempting to
equslize the assessments.
Supervisor Hall Of Harrison county tried
to have the meeting behind closed doors,
but this raised such a strenuous object
ton from the other members that the pro-
posal was abandoned
County Attorney Hess favored the meet
ing behind closed doors on the theory
that property owners, II allowed to be
present, might use the information gained
as to how the boards arrived at the as
sessment in appealing to the courts from
assessment. g.
Colonel w. F. Baker took the stand that
the boards were public bodies elected by
the people and that they had no right
to exclude any person from their meetings
People. he said invariab bly, looked with
suspicion upon meetings of public bodies
held behind closed doors.
The boards will probably be I'm Joint ses-
sion for the remainder of the week.
