plimenting the retiring official upon
| his work and expressing regrets at
| his leavetaking.
The director called attention to the
accomplishments of the board during
the year. More road work had been
accomplished than in any previous
year, he said, and declared the high
ways were now in the best condition
in the history of the county. Particu-
| lar mention was made of the affairs
at Overlook Hospital for the Insane,
where the director said from SO to "
per cent. had been taken from
| the per capita cost in the last
| twelve months. The penitentiary
management had also been the source
| of qualification. Through the eff
cheney of Warden Hosp and the COM
| mittee, conditions at the county penal
| institution had been brought to high
plane.
Regrets were expressed by Director
Evans as to the retiring of Mr.. Gilbert
\ from the board, declaring that he
| would be missed for his devotion to
duty and efficiency, as well as his
personality.
Mr.. Gilbert responded to the COM
pliments paid him and accepted the
| taken in a short address.
Freebooter Malta, as leader of the
Republican majority, and Freebooter
Harrison, dean Of the board, also spoke
highly of the service rendered by Mr.
| Gilbert. The board tnen aoJourheu

In making up the committees for
the new year Director Evans made 1t
possible for the new member, Free
| holder Cardwell, to succeed to the du-
ties of Freebooter Gilbert in most In
stances, appointing him chairman OF
the road board and as member or the
finance, prison, buildings and bridges
committees. The only exception was
in giving Mr.. Cardwell the chairman
ship of the stationery committee and
making Freebooter Ryman head OF
