Friday, March 4th, 1910, $50 A. IA.
Board balled to order by the Chairman.
Roll called and all members present.
Minutes of yesterdays sessions read and
iMr. GgdyJ presume this may be out
of order at this time. In making The report
our intention to bring 1t up and make some
disposition of it. However we overlooked
it, but perhaps IT isn't too late to put it in
now before closing up the minutes
mir. Penhallegon:) No reference was
made | believe to the report Of this COM
mittee and its adoption or disposal.
(Mr. Cody) 1t would be the proper time
now for action to be taken on that report!
tMr ROethe:) ! would ike the reporter
to read that part of her notes relating TO the
report OF the subcommittee, to ascertain
whether such port was accepted.
Reporter here read notes referring 70
same.
the proper thing for Mr.. Cody, since he was
the chairman of that committee, II II is in
order to make the motion that the report
of that committee be accepted ana TO IN,
clude he check, | think Mr. Cody ought
to make the motion so that 1T may go INTO
the minutes OF yesterday.
(Chair:) The chair is OF the opinion that
that motion can be made to appear alter
the minutes have been approved. The re-
port has been read to this Board but ii has
not been acted upon, That can be acted
upon Immediately before the approval OF
the minutes If you desire. Mr.. Clerk,
would like to state that before the vote was
taken in regard to the previous question
that the chairman spoke on the question OF
personal privilege, and | wish that to be IN
Corporated.
(Gler<3 That will be given in the pro-
mir. CodyD / move the adoption of the
report of the Subcommittee appointed to
adjust the claims between Iowa County and
superintendent II, j. Perkins, and that the
check of Mr. PERKINS be accepted:
Motion cconded by Mr.. PenhalleRon.
tMr. y .chardson:) Wouldn't the proper
disposal of the work OF that committee be
to make il rs an amendment TO the matter
that Is already before the Board2 III simply
in effect annihilates that portion OF the
committee report.
IOhaira The CHAIR rules that the Audit
ing Committees report is a separate report
and his matter is simply IA verihcatiOn of
the report that has been made that settle
ment has been effected. 1t doesn't have
anything to do with the report.
tMr. w II. ThOmaS:l Do | understand
that motion to mean all claims against Mr..
Perkins? A, In a direct way, that is all
tMr. Thomaso ! move thnt you make
difference to distinguish them,
fh,f Cody) We do that by reference 70
invoices and materials on different bilis as
given I'm the outline. ] think That VIII prop
ably hold good.
lMr. Thomas.) What mean IS, how will
ii read in the stenographer's notes II we
have this matter go before the mouse ana
then TINS committee 40 bdNh anu i'bbA q
more claims. II would look TO me rs
though we have either got through with
MIR. Perkins or it ought to be put in one
{Mr. Eagan. When we started out, we
headed list and stated that Mr. Perkins
assumed liability for the following items.
Then we took voucher after Wonderland we
placed the number before every item ana
The amount after it that he assumed re-
.ponsibiHty for. That Will show IN her re-
port don't see that we hted any more
than that
Mr.. Dickinson takes the chair,
Mr. Roethel There is n matter th8t !
think ought to have a little attention in re-
gard 10 this matter before the house. don't
know whether / am bringing 1t up AZ the
right time or not. II is regarding the liabll-
outstanding against this county on these IN
voices that have been settled Tor by TINS
county by the trustees, preSumiug that
snrh Dayments have been made To the
cIaimauts The reason | bring this up is
that II this motion Is carried am not quite
sura in my own mind whether " would re-
Ueye Mr. Perkins Of his liability, II any
didn't settle any bill that had been allowed
or Tor any payment of bill on which there
we're items OF "a personal nature, as mas bten
shown to be a frequent occurrence IRON
some OF these certain amounts nave been
deductpd from the original invoice. The
original invoice IS chargeable TO the county.
II he had $50 deducted from an invoice, the
point am making Is that y might De suen
a thtnQ that the $50 had not been paid. |
don't say that 1t Is but IL might be. would
like to have "a ruling from the District Al
toruey whether III IS necessary TO nave such
an amendment as ! have tried to show 10
This Board, incorporated In this motion. or
