The committees of the count Y board
spent the afternoon Tuesday May
s, in preparing their work for presen-
tation to the board at Wednesday
mornings session which was called
to order at ten O'Clock by Chairman
Hooper.
Immediately after the opening of
the board, Supervisor Linderman of
Marshheld, introduced resolution to
the effect that the County Board ap-
propriate the sum of $1,000 for the
Central Wisconsin Agricultural As
sociation. Not little oratory was
let lose on this resolution, but the
resolution carried with a large ma
jority, the sentiment seeming to be
in favor of the encouragement of the
County Fair.
The County Normal Training
School Committee introduced a reSO-
luton asking for an additional ap-
preparation of $1,000 for the equipping
and heating of the new school build
ing now being erected. This resolution
was adopted with but one dissenting
vote.
A resolution was introduced by
Supervisor Christensen, asking the
board to appoint committee to in
dex the records in the Registers
office. Mr.. Christensen stated that
this was badly needed work in the
Register of Deeds Office, as at present
it was almost impossible to find mat
ters of Importance with any degree OF
speed, and sometimes without ac-
curacy. The resolution was adopted,
and The following committee ap-
pointed by the chair: P. N. Christen-
sen, E. NJ. Deming and Nash Nit
chell.
A resolution was also adopted, in
structing the construction OF cement
side walk along the east end of the
court house grounds, to the county
stable.
The chairman was instructed to
appoint committee of two to act in
conjunction with Judge Webb and
the public property committee, in the
re-furnishing of the Circuit Judges
chamber. This matter was brought
up by Chairman Hooper, and was en-
tirely unsolicited on the part of
a
that the county was now very promi-
nent and that many of the able
lawyers of the state were in almost
constant visitation upon the Judge,
and that the county should see to it
that the chambers were furnished in
a suitable and acceptable manner.
The board needed only its attention
brought to the matter, and every
man voted in favor of the motion
which was put as above stated.
Thursday.
After disposing of the purely routine
matters, such as the allowance OF bills
committee reports ETC., the County
Board adjourned Thursday afternoon.
Quite little discussion arose over
the appropriation for the construc-
Uion of bridge at Milladore. The
matter was brought up shortly before
noon, and was resumed Immediately
after dinner. The motion to appro-
pirate for this bridge was made and
carried in the morning. and in the
afternoon Atty. George 7. Ham
brecht moved for reconsidera-
ton, stating that there was an
error in appropriating any portion
of the general funds for the construc-
tion of rural bridges. He stated that
the statutes we're clear on this matter,
and that the cities were not called
upon to make any appropriation for
these bridges, and if the county board
appropriated money for this purpose
i'm this manner, which was purely
illegal, that law suits could be in
stituted and the appropriation tied up
by Injunction. The motion to recon-
slider carried unanimously, and the
appropriation made legally out OF the
funds for rural roads and bridges.
Chairman Hooper, appointed Atty.
Geo. 2. Hambrecht and Atty. E. M.
Deming, as committee to work in
cooperation with the public property
committee and Judge Webb, in fitting
up the Circuit Judges chambers in a
suitable and proper manner.
The board adjourned about four
O'Clock in the afternoon.
