that its location was not properly
shown. the matter was laid over

Mayor Mcdonald took up the mat
ter of the Duck Creek road and stat
ed that it was to the best interest
Of the county to take it over and
keep It'll n repair. He said he had
expended a great deal of money on
it in the past and that it was in
fairly good condition. Forest Super
visor Mathis stated that there would
be considerable timber hauling over
| it in the future and that the county
would get in the neighborhood of
$3.50 for the contracts for timber
sales made so far and that in all
probability there would be coming
to the county close to $4,000 for
the next year. The board thought
favorably of the proposition and ask

same submitted to them. F..
A letter was read which will be
sent to the State Board of Revenue
asking hat the county be given per
mission to borrow $4,000 from the

term of court costs much in excess
of that. The auditors will be re.
quested to figure out how much
should go to the different funds.
The board estimates hat it will
cost about $500 to move the ole
court house and have 1t fixed up fol

modern in every respect and to have
1t steam heated, the same to be
brough from the furnace under thu
new court house.

by members of the board that womer

either suspended or revoked, serious
trouble might result III If it did
the board would be held responsible
being that the grand jury requested
that all Riepetown licenses be re
voked. The board favored suspend
ing the licenses for a term of thirt.
days with the privilege of still
further suspending them should con
ditions warrant, rather than revok
ing them entirely. The special at
torney for the board was instructed
to look up the law and see IL tn
licenses can be suspended. 1t is tn
desire of the board to allow the sa
loon men an extension of time late
on, to make up for Inc suspension
