Whereas, it has been deemed nee

few months; and
Whereas, we being DESTROYS of re-
ducing the cost Of such meetings az
much as possible, we appointed small
committees with authority to attend
to such business as we had before
us, in order that the mileage and
and per diem would be reduced; but
Whereas, we are informed by the
Supervisor of Public Accounts that
the payment of mileage and per diem
for such committee meetings is not
legal: therefore be it
Resolved, That this practice shall
stop and that hereafter special
meeting of the entire board will have
to be called, because of the decision
of the Attorney General as reported
in the letter of the Supervisor of
Public Accounts and shown in the
report of the Superintendent.
