changed, requiring boards to meet

ty officers should not be paid once a
month, at the time when all other
lcountyp claims are allowed" said SEN
ator Pearson.

held frequent conferences recently
and it had been said by TENN that the
contests would be pushed.

thing that can be done will be to droI
the entire matter of the contests.
