Mr.. Fulkerson stated in his letter:
at seems that some people think that
the north end of Eureka Comfy has
no right to have roads or anything to
say about the or the welfare
of the people,"
10 reply tn this statement we leave it
to the people Of this county to judge Of
the fact if the Board of County Com
missioners has not in every way with
the means at its disposal tried to meet
the wishes Of the North end of the
county, and has expended thousands of
dollars on roads and bridges there dur
ing the past two years.
The above bill was returned to Mr..
Fulkerson last August for the purpose
Of having it itemized aud dated accord
ing to law that a few years ago a
similar bill was returned to this Board
by the Auditor, which was referred to
a Grand Jury, who recommended that
the Board comply with the Auditors
request; and another Grand Jury may
oensure this Board for passing q bill
such as the above. We desire to state
to Mr.. Fulkerson that this Board must
run the affairs of the county; that il
Mr.. Fulkerson can build roads without
the permission Of this Board, 80 can any
citizen of the county.
1t is therefore ordered that the Clerk
return the bill to Mr.. Fulkerson and
request him to present a bill fully item
lied for labor and material, giving day
and date therefor.
