Geo. kreusCher Of the Town of
Paris is Elected Chairman Of
the County Board
NO MOVE TO DUST MEMBERS
Surveyor Blood Resigned His Office ON
Monday, and 1T Is Doubtful if the
Board Could Remove Him
Committees Named

George Kreuscher, the supervisor
representing the town of Paris, was
elected Chairman of the County
Board at the opening session of the
Board at the Court House on Tues
day. Chairman Kreuscher was Sc.
1ected on the second formal ballot and
the leading opponent against him was
John T. Tigh, of Brighton. former
Chairman of the Board. In taking
his place at the head of the Board,
Mr.. Kreuscher stated that the Office
had come to him as great surprise,
but that he wished to thank the mem
bers for the expression of confidence
and the honor conferred upon him
and assured them that every man on
the Board would be given fair deal
and that he hoped all would work
with him in making this session of
the Board q pleasant and profitable
one for all concerned.
The Boardsgot right down to bust
ness, and a committee consisting of
Supervisors Jordan, Herzog, Hensgen,
Shuart and Charles was named to
make up the list of standing commit
tees and report at the session of the
Board this afternoon.
Supervisor Luke, of Wheatland,
was the first man to be recognized
with new business for the Board, and
he urged that the Board adopt some
plan to do away with the wasting of
so much time in looking over Justices
accounts. After a debate, which at
times was spirited, the Board decided
to name a committee of six to have
charge of the auditing of these ac-
counts. The work will be divided be-
tween the various members of the
committee and it is thought that sew
eral days work will be saved in this
way.
No move was made to call into ques-
ton the membership of Alvin H.
Blood as supervisor from the Fourth
ward. Mr.. Blood resigned the Office
of county surveyor Monday after
noon, and in the opinion of the dis
trict attorney, it would be hard mat.
ter to force him off the Board. There
was no show of any feeling against
Mr.. Blood and no move was made to
question his rights as a member of the
Board. 1t is understood that no move
in this direction will be made during
the session. The resignation of Mr..
Blood as surveyor will make it neces-
sary for the Board to elect a new sur
veyor. 1t is thought that William
McKesson will be named to succeed
Surveyor Blood ard that he will &C.
cept the appointment from the Board.
The session of the Board promises
to be busy one, but all of the menu
bers are planning to facilitate the
work as much as possible, and it is
thought that the session may be con-
siderably shorter than those held in
other years. The division of the work
on Justices accounts will do great
deal toward reducing the time taken
up with the annual sessions of the
Board.

serve for the coming year:
