EOontinued from First Pagel

1850 t"->~- E"~->-
Ia glowing tribute to the work done thereon
lkby Freebooter Handle and his assistant,
Mr.. Irwin. ~
Mr.. Handle said there was much fault
found by the people with the way they
were doing it at first, but now all were
satisfied
Mr.. Joyce was directed to place abut-
mens walls under two iron pipes under the
road in his township, and Mr.. Munyan
was directed to raise the Jessup bridge one
foot.
Mr.. Cooper thought the rules Of the
Board should require the presence of the
Solicitor at all Board meetings, especially
the annual meeting.
Mr.. Usinger did not think we could ex-
pect an able lawyer to leave his business
and spend full day at our session. It
was asking too much.
Mr.. Rachor then nominated Hon. j.
Boyd AVIS for Solicitor at the same salary
and he was elected by unanimous vote
DR.. H. H. Clark was elected Prison ply
stefan at salary of SIS per year and A.W.
Cattell clock winder at $50 year.
THE COUNTY ROAD SUPERVISOR.
The County Road Supervisorship made
vacant by the death, of Mr.. Stranger was
the next position to be filed. Mr.. Rachor,
nominated Ffeeholder Usinger, at salary
of So per day and expenses for every day he
was actually employed.
Mr.. Handle started long discussion by
expressing the fear that under the resolu-
tion adopted at the last meeting and a per
diem of S.. the Office might cost the
county $500 year, whereas the preyions
cost had been only $500.
Mr.. Whitney, who was not present,
at the last meeting, asked to have the reso.
buttons adopted at that meeting, read. He
then said that under them the supervisor
could go every day in the year, and hire an
auto at SIS day, and this Board would
have to pay the bill.
Mr.. Whitney thought they were about
J
the most dangerous resolutions ever pre-
scented to this Board, as so much authority
was lodged in the Road committee and the
supervisor.
Mr.. Usinger said the idea of the new
plan was to reduce the cost of the super
visor over other years.
Mr.. HANDLE moved to reduce the salary
from SIS to So per day, saying it was unfair
for members of the Board to get So, and
paying one member S. for the same service
Mr.. Best said that personally he was OPP
posed to electing any member of the Board TO
this Office. He did not think S. day was an
exorbitant price for expert service we need.
Some change is necessary in our county
road management; we can try plan for a
year and see how it works.
Mr.. Best then moved that the whole
affair lay over 'till 81 80 p. n, when we
can have the Solicitor present and get his
opinion as to what is legal to do. Carried.
Mr.. Joshua Dawson. in behalf Of General
Howell Post, thanked the Board for the use
of the Court House on Memorial Day, and
extended, on behalf of the Post, an invita-
ton 10 the Board 80 attend the exercises,
promising seats within the rail TO hear
Governor Stokes deliver the address.
The invitation, on motion of Mr.. Best
was accepted, and as many members as
could. agreed to be present.,
