ence in the promises of the state COM
missioner. Even if the large sum was
appropriated the work that was necessary
ould not be done in the time that was
to spend the money.
MIR. Russ said there was not the slight
st doubt that the county needed S75,Ooo
md he believed the state would raise a
ike sum-.
Supervisor Mcfarland said there were
many miles of gravel road in the county
hat had not had a penny spent on
them since they were built. He wanted
to put all the roads in the county In
good shape and felt he could do it If ne
had the proper financial aid.
DIR. Glasgow, who had been called to
order several times by the director, arose
and in a very polite manner said: IF |
am in order / would like to ask the road
a question" The director
permission for the doctor to pro-
coed and he asked the road committee
what system it used in doing road work.
Mr.. Bright, of the committee, re-
piled that no system had been pre-
pared for the present year as the COM
mittee had just been appointed. He
had an idea, however, that it would
be the same as in the past, and which
appeared to be giving satisfaction,
would be continued.
This caused DIR. Glasgow to come
back with the remark that there
seemed to be plenty of money and no
system.
Mr.. Hart wanted to know what kind
of a system DR.. Glasgow desired and
that gentleman replied that he was
in favor of the patrol system, such
as he had asked more than once to
have Investigated. If STE 5000 was to
be spent there should be something
to show for it.
Mr.. Russ thought $4,000 abso-
lutely necessary and moved the APP
preparation of that sum.
There seemed to be a desire to call
the roll on every motion so that pro-
cedure was taken on this question and
the result was that only four votes
were recorded in the negative.
The budget was then adopted as
a whole. After the changes recon-
mended by the committee had been
adopted the amount to be raised was
fixed at $4,000 Of this sum $780,
900 will be raised by taxation and
$4,000 will be received from outside
sources. Last year $230,000 was
raised, of which $205,0O0 came
from taxes and $4,000 from miscel-
laneous sources. An additional $10,-
was raised, but it was in the shape Of
bonds, so that the increase in the
amount to be haised by taxation this
year is $65, 900.
A motion was offered that the
County Collector be authorized to
borrow money in anticipation of taxes
on notes at a rate of interest not to
exceed four per cent.
This aroused DR.. Glasgow who at
once got in his "Move to adjourn"
but as there was no second the mo-
ton was allowed to drop.
A resolution was offered that the
Mirror be authorized to print the
monthly reports of the County Col
lector. Mr.. Bright at once moved to
lay this motion on the table. The
roll was called and the following an
nounced:
For the resolution - Aaronson,
Black, Bright, Couples, Delaney, Dur
ell, Esham, Glasgow, Hart, Hill,
Johnson, Logan, Loveland, Peak, Rod
man, Thackara-16.
Against the northumberland,
Clair, Dudley, Farmer Joseph f.
Haines, Benjamin M. Haines, Jessup,
Jones, Joyce, Lippincott, Pew, Ridg-
way, Roberts, Russ Sykes, Wright
Is.
Absent.-Birkhead, Burr, Carly,
Mahan. Not voting-Davis.
The result showed a tie vote, but
before the Director could a
vote Mr.. Johnson changedto against"
and this gave a majority of one that
way. The Director declared the mo-
ton to lie on the table lost.
The, motion to give the printing to
the Mirror was then before the Board
and Mr.. Esham offered a substitute,
putting the Herald in the motion in
stead of the Mirror.
This brought DIR. Glasgow to the
floor again and in a tone meant to be
sarcastical he said if he was in order
he would like to make a remark,
which was that the refusal to lay the
other motion on the table was a re-
Election upon the printing committee,
of which he is the chairman. He felt
that committee should have charge of
the matter and he moved that the sub
ject be referred to the printing COM
mittee with power to act.
Mr.. Hill wanted to know how the
committee would act. Would it put
the printing where it pleased or would
it be guided by the ideas of the
Board?
This question "a ignored by the
chairman of the printing committee
and then some one had a chance TO
get back at the doctor by asking
what system the printing committee
had," which inquiry was also ignored.
The roll was called on the motion to
substitute the Herald, and it was an
nounced as follows:
For the Herald-Aaronson, Black,
Bright, Couples, Davis, Delaney, Du-
rell, Esham, Glasgow, Hart, Hill, Lo-
gan, Loveland, Peak, Rodman, Sykes,
Thackara-17.
For the Mirror-Bozarth, Clair,
Dudley, Farmer, John E. Haines, Ben
jamin M. Haines, Jessup, Jones, Joyce,
Johnson, Lippincott, Pew, Ridgway,
Roberts, Russ, Wright-16.
Absent-Birkhead, Burr, Carly,
Mahan.
The above vote was the same as
that to lie on the table, with the ex-
ception that the Director voted and
Mr.. Sykes swung back into the Demo-
cratic column.
The next resolution was The News
be designated to print the report of
the County Auditor and furnish the
usual number of pamphlet copies of
the same. This resolution was adopt
ed by a vote of &c in favor and five
