The January meeting of the County
Commissioners is usually the most
interesting and most important meet
ing held by the County Board and
this years meeting proved no excep'
ton to the rule. The Board convened
Tuesday morning and completed its
labors by Thursday evening and
adjourned. Herman Polkow was
reelected chairman and John Henle
yice.chairman. AS in previous years
an attempt was made by the publishers
of the County to get together so that
only one bid at legal rates would be
presented to the Board, but another
failure has to be recorded. In former
wears we claimed the entire credit for
saving the county money on printing,
but this year we are willing to divide
honors with some of our colleagues.

Publishing Co. ;snd the Liesch Print

tax list was given to him also for
which he will receive $500, he to
furnish the other newspapers with
supplements. The county stands to
save fully sl2O0.O0 by the publishers

will hardly shed tears because things
happened as they did.
