On motion of Schwalm supported by
McKercher and declared carried by the
vote following, the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, it has been currently re-
ported that the late supervisor, John
o. Maxey, Of L'AnEe township, during
his term of office. has refraiDed from
assessing a considerable acreage of
land owned by himself, his friends and
associates, thereby depriving the coun-
ty of Baraga of its just share of taxes
which should have been legally levied
upon such lands. omitted from the
L'Anse township tax rolls. Therefore
Be 1t Resolved that the county clerk is
hereby authorized to have careful
search made of the records, employing
assistance if necessary. to ascertain
what, if any, lands were omitted from
the tax roll, during said term of office,
and that the county clerk submit re-
port to the board of supervisors at his
earliest convenience and also report to
the prosecuting attorney the result Of
his examination and the prosecuting
attorney is hereby directed to COM
mence such suit or action as may be
proper to recover from the above mem
toned supervisor, his friends and asso-
ciates such sums of money as would
properly be due the County of Baraga.
This Resolve to be published in the
L'Anse Sentinel for two weeks from
date SO as to correct all errors herein,
which might appear.

On motion of Schwalm supported by
McKercher the following resolution
was offered.
Whereas, The board of supervisors,
at its annual meeting in October 10th
1912 appointed one August Gilman of
Arvon township, as superintendent of
the poor, for the full term of three
years, and in January 1913. without
first declaring Office vacant, appointed
George A. Trudeau, of the village of
L'Anse, superintendent of the poor, for
the full term of three years, thereby
making total of four superintendents
of the poor, when the law provides for
but three, we hereby declare the ap-
pointment of the said George A. Tru-
deau void and of no effect. Inasmuch
as the law requires that one of such
superintendents of the poor shall reside
at the county seat, and the said Aug.
ust Gilman being disqualified because
of not being a resident of L'Anse, we
hereby declare his appointment tc
have been void. We deem it unwise
that any superintendent of the poor
have his public Office in a saloon, where
i, women and children must go to receive
county help, ETC., which is an added
reason why the said George A. Trudear
should not hold such office;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, Tha
there are now in existence but tive
superintendents of the poor, who wer,
qualified for the Office at the time o.
their appointment. and we declare tn,
appointment of August Gilman to be il
legal because of his place of residence
we declare the appointment of Georg
A Trudeau to have been illegal at tn
time of his appointment and that va
cancy now exists,
We hereby appoint John Campbell, a
a superintendent of the poor, to Fl
the unexpired term of three year
from January lst, 1918 to January 1st
1916 to fill vacancy of Office held b
Otto H. Sengebusch up to said date o
January fst, 1918.
Supervisor Paulson asked to have tn
y following objection to the resolutio
entered upon the record.
