COUNTY BOARD ADJOURNS .
AFTER LENGTHY SESSION
Assessors Appointed for Unorganized
81. Territory. Officials Filed State
: ments of Fees.

through a large number of matters
of vital interest and importance to
the county.
One of the commendable features
of the meeting was the manner in
which the board handled the bills
that had been filed for audit. A
very large batch of claims had been
filed, the larger portion of which
were allowed, but a number were
held up, pending investigation, some
of the latter being wrong as to form,
being without verifcation or not
being itemized correctly, this being
the fault found with large number
of bills which have been filed since
Attorney General Simpson told the
board that certain forms must be
complied with in making out bills or
same could not be allowed. The
commissioners respectfully request
that more attention be paid to- this
feature of making out accounts.
The bills which were rendered to
the county by. the chairmen of the
different. town boards at the time
the new county commissioners were
elected, for mileage, were held up,
pending decision from the attorney
general as to whether the claims
were legal against the county or
should be paid by the differ
ent towns whose chairmen partici-
pated in the elections.
All bills which have been filed
with the board were taken Tito con-
sideration. + and some disposition
made of them, cleaning the slate as
far as calims against the county hav-
ing not been considered are con-
cerned.
