organization held at the county build
ing this morning. Chairman Yule was
named on the first formal ballot. He
had been second to William Luke of
Wheatland on the informal ballot, but
on the first formal vote he received a
majority of the votes of the members
Of the board. On the informal ballot
| there were lot of complimentary votes
handed out9 William Luke received 6,

remaining votes were scattering.
In accepting the Office of chairman
of the board Mr.. Yule thanked the
members for their expression of con-
fidence ana assured them that he would
seek to give to the Office his best
efforts
The board presented many new faces
this morning and many men who had
been very active in the past sessions
were missing. There were eight new
men to present their credentials this
morning, the list including James Mar
tin of Brighton, Benjamin Elvermann
Of Randall, Thomas Fleming of Sa-
lem, j. j. Barrows of Somers, Philip
Hartman, D. F. Brister, George Strang-
berg and James H. Karnes of Kenosha.
Fleming and Strangberg were the only
two new members who had formerly
| served as members of the board.
Chairman Yule named a committee
consisting of Supervisors Grosvenor,
Luke, Fleming, Epson and Spartz to
nominate the standing committees for
the year.
The first matter to come up was a
| discussion of highways and the recon-
mendation of Supervisor Epson to
name an advisory commission to act
with the county highway commissioner
prevailed, In order to make the com,
mittee a general committee the super
visors of the adjoining towns where a
road is being improved, were named ia
act as an advisory committee.
1t is thought that the appointment
of these advisory committees will 90
a long way toward taking the burden
of the road work off the shoulders of
the highway commissioner and at the
same time it will give the local of
icers in the towns greater voice in
the manner in which the road work is
carried on.
| The board adjourned just after
eleven O'Clock to permit the commit
tee in charge of nominating the stand
ing committees a chance to make up
their list.

tees approved at the opening Of the
