SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS
Board Without Authority to Employ Ex.
pert Accountant.

The Board of Supervisors met in
regular session last Monday with all
members present. This being the end
of the third quarter, large amount
OF business confronted the county
solons. A three-days' session was
held. One of the most interesting
subjects before the Board was the
proposition to employ an expert ac-
countant to audit the county's books.
Upon investigation it was found that
there was no law authorizing employ
ing and paying for an accountant,
al. the law contemplates such duty to
belong to the Office of chancery clerk
and county auditor. Thinking there
might be some way to stretch a
point" and provide for the work be-
ing done, the attorney general was
communicated with but he, too, said
the Board had no authority to pay for
the services of an accountant out of
the county treasury. The Board of
Supervisors of Lincoln county recent
ly employed an accountant and paid
him out oil the county fund and now
the revenue agent is after them to re-
cover the amount. of his pay. Con-
tinuing, the attorney general said
that only the governor had the author
ity to have such work performed. The
Board will consider at the next meet
ing what further steps to take in the
matter.
A large surplus in the school fund
was distributed to various schools in
the county for repairing and furnish
ing schoolhouses. A list of the schools
and the amounts allowed will be pub

synopsis of the proceedings not given

quarterly report, showing the follow
ing amounts to the credit of the va
rious funds: General county fund,
