COUNTY DADS MEET
Board of County Commissioners Meet
in Regular Session at Court
House on Tuesday.
Appropriations Made for Road Work
and Other Business Looked
After by Commissioners.

The board of county commissioners
met in regular adjourned session at the
Office Of the county auditor, Tuesday.
All members were present and Chair
man Cater presided.
The report of the board of audit was
submitted to the commissioners, and
same was duly examined, approved and
ordered published in the official pro-
ceedings.
A petition asking for the re-surves
of section 4, Page, was presented to
the board, and it was rejected. The
petitioners refused to file bond in
the sum of 500 to cover the prelim-.
mary costs in case the petition should
be rejected at the final hearing, and
for this reason the board took un-
favorable action in the matter.
Andrew Mattson Of Milaca present.
ed petition to the board asking to
have his 80-acre farm set off from
school district 20, and attached to dis
trict 81. The date of final hearing in
the matter was set for June 6.
Rufus P. Morton, manager and
secretary Of the Rural Telephone Co.,
appeared before the commissioners
and submitted a proposition to have
three additional telephones installed
in the court house. The sentiment Of
a majority Of the members of the
board appeared to be that no addi-
tional phones should be installed I'M
til the county officials deem it neces-
sary to have them, and ask for same,
and the proposition was rejected.
Mrs. Raymond Tilley, who with her
three children is at the poor farm,
appeared before the commissioners,
and asked that two rooms be provided
for her in this village. She stated
that if this were done, and if she was
given temporary county aid, she ex-
pected to be able to support herself
and her children. Commissioner Ca
ter was appointed committee of one to
make the best possible arrangements
in the matter, as it was deemed best for
all concerned, especially the children,
that the proposed change be made.
A plat of the southwest quarter of
section IS, town of Milo, was present.
ed to the board by Peter Pluimer.
whose farm adjoins the village Of
Pease. Owing to an irregularity in
the dedication the plat was laid over
until next meeting, when the COM
missioners will probably approve and
accept same.
On motion duly made and carried
the sum Of $500 was apportioned to
each of the villages of Onamia, Wah-
kon and Isle, from the county's 1916
allotment of road and bridge money
from the state. The money will be
expended improving certain streets
within those villages which have been
designated as state highways.
An appropriation of $500 was made
to be used improving stretch Of road
just east Of Milaca on the north line
of section 81, in the town of Borg
holm.
The usual appropriation of $50 was
made to the Citizens committee of
Princeton to aid in the proper OBJ
servance of Memorial day. Princeton
has the only G. A. R. Post in Mile
Laos county, and appropriate exercises
mark the observance Of the day in this
village.
Various applications for tax re-
auctions were presented to the board,
and same were adjusted, and after
acting on the usual grist of bills the
board adjourned. The next meeting
will be held on June 6.
