action on the matter was deferred un.

The plumbing ordinance was to have
come up for second reading, but j. G.

asked that certain changes be made.
On motion of Supervisor Logan action
on the ordinance was deferred and the
chairman of the health committee was

Miehlstein will be present. A general
invitation will be issued to all plumbers
and contractors to attend and take part
in the discussion.
Lively Argument.
The only excitement of the evening
came when Logan introduced resolu-
ton changing the wording of the ap.
preparation bill so as to make the $4,000
| appropriated for the care and repair
of school houses not pro rata. AS the
ordinance passed the Board, the sum
was divided up into six monthly in
stalments of $1,000 each. Logan said
that that arrangement was bad, in that
it made it impossible to do all of the
big repair work during vacation time,
the only time that it could convenient
~ be done. He wanted the ordinance
so amended as to allow of the doing
of the work at any time.
/ Kane thought he saw an attempt to
soak all of the money into few school.
houses. He said that the County En-
gineer would probably spend the whole
$4,000 in one month and then there
would be nothing. He was called to
turn rather sharply by Logan and final.
ly subsidized, though he cast his vote
against the change. But it passed
nevertheless, the vote standing three
to two.
The police committee submitted an
estimate of the monthly provision sup.
ply needed at the County Jail. The
figures are as follows:
Meat, 2200 pounds; crackers, 1900
pounds; salmon, 400 pounds; potatoes,
$50 pounds; poi, 1900 pounds; onions,
200 pounds; pork, 200 pounds; rice,
400 pounds; beans, 100 pounds; salt,
$50 pounds; tea, 60 pounds; coffee, 80
pounds; soap, 100 pounds; flour, so
pounds; vegetables, $500; bread, 1400
loaves; coal, two and one-half tons;
fire wood one cord.
| A resolution was passed directing the
County Clerk to advertise for bids for
a supply sufficient for six months.
Costly Slip.
Fifty-seven dollars and forty cents
was appropriated to pay judgment in
favor of Marie K. Humphreys for a
tree destroyed by county officials. I'm
der the terms of the law, the county
may settle for damage done to any
tree for the sum of $500. No settle
ment was made in this case and the
court awarded the plaintiff damages to
the amount of the legal indemnity.
But the county also has $52.40 costs to
pay.
The road committee, in compliance
with resolution introduced at a re.
cent meeting, reported the deficits for
, the care and disposition of garbage
during the June quarter of the past
| four years as follows:
Quarter ending June of this year
, $1S4.S9; quarter ending June, 1905
$99l.6S; quarter ending June, 1907
