roads. The latters bill for personal
service, guard hire and use of teams
during the past month amounted to
$216.
TO REDUCE EXPENSES.
The board considered reducing LABOR
and salaries, and on motion, the clerk
was ordered to furnish at the next reg
ular meeting a list of all salaried off,
GERS so that the board may further con-
slider the matter.
It was ordered that a check be drawn
in favor Of the American National
bank for $1,000 to apply on loan.
Mr.. HICKS PROTESTS.
Jos. A. Hicks, supervisor or regfstra-
ton, appeared before the board and
entered complaint against the clerk
loaning to the Pensacola Carnival AS
ISOLATION the county's ballot boxes
without his permission In relating
his complaint, Mr.. Hicks assumed
that he was alone responsible for the
ballot boxes and told the board he
could not be held responsible unless
he was given receipt by the clerk for
the boxes thus loaned out.
Mr.. Macgi obon, the clerk, told the
board he did not consider it a matter
of responsibility, but one of pleasure
to permit the use of the boxes by the
Carnival Association and furthermore,
Mr.. Hicks was not custodian of the
ballot boxes.
The board. after hearing the state
ments, unanimously decided that Mr..
Hicks was in no way responsible for
the ballot boxes and thus ended the
matter.
The board decided to hold a meeting
Saturday morning to select names for
jury service during the year.
