Gentlemen: Your Committee on
judiciary, to whom was referred Re
| solution No. 1 pertaining to the a.
! dOption Of the Coupon ballot and
waiver by MOcena Dunn of royalties
on patent on said coupon ballot, re
| spectfully report: First THAT they
have examined Chapter 545 Laws of
! 1909 relating to said ballot and find
! that said resolution is IN proper lie
| gal form for the adoption of said bal
| lot for use in Wood County at gen
| eraI elections therein.
| Second,-That Sec. 44a-2 of said
| Chapter $40 among other things pro
| vides that the County Boyd may.
! by order, discontinue such ballot af-
| ter it has been used at one general
! election and return to the use Of Sucl
other form of ballot as may be au
! thOrized by law, and that the expense
| for furnishing said ballot shall not eX
| coed the present expense for such
purpose except in Counties where
| such expense is now less than twelve
| dollars per thousand except as the in
crease in population shall occasion in
| creased expense. :
| Third,-That our information from
! local printers is to the effect that
! the cost Of printing of the coupon
/ ballots is likely to exceed materially
the cost of printing the ballots now
in use at general elections.
Fourth,-That said resolution in
! cludes 1.-The coupon ballot and ap-
prOpriote tally sheets" and such is
! the language of said section 44a-2.
Fifth,-That said waiver of all
rights to royalties by said Mocena
Dunn refers in terms to the coupon
ballot only. But We are advised by
said Mocena Dunn that said tally
sheet is not patented and that the
same may be had as cheap as any
other tally sheet.
SiXth.-That in the event YOU adopt
this ballot and on trial thereof at
the general coming election and it's
continued use is deemed advisable it
viii then be necessary to pay such
royalties as may be determined by
agreement with the owner of the
patent or as may be determined by
future state legislation.
enth.-This matter really re-
solves itself into the question of a
trial of this ballot for one general e
lection without additional expense
to the County, placing full reliance
on the guarantee in. that behalf. This
question should be settled by the
whole Board without recommendation
from US. However. we understand
that the legal phases thereof only
were submitted to US
