Supervisor Bradford offers the fol-

Whereas, It has been the custom
of former Boards of Supervisors of
this County to appoint one committee
OF three of its members as Commit
tee on Claims, said committee to in
vestigate and report to the Board all
claims appearing against the county;
and.
Whereas. Said claims have become
more numerous each year until it
seems most impossible for one COM
mittee to do justice to the claims and
county during the short period of
time the Board is in session;
Therefore, Be it Resolved by the
Board of Supervisors now in session:
IllSl, 1ldllilS appearing against
county shall be divided in two classes.
Class No. 1, including all claims of
sheriffs, constables, coroners and
justices of the peace Class No.
shall include all claims not mentioned
in Class No 1.
Second, The chairman of this
Board shall appoint two committees
to act upon claims, said committees
to be known as Committee on Claims
No. 1 and Committee on Claims No.
?; all claims mentioned under head OF
( Class No. shall be referred to Com
mittee Nc. and all other claims
shall be referred TO Committee
No. 2.
Yours respectfully,
FRED BRADFORD
