for the Office of Sheriff in the Year

RESOLUSION No. 3 offered by
Supervisor, Chas. A. Backstrom.
WHEREAS it is the sense of this
board that the Municipal Court of vi
las County is unnecessary as a separ-
ate court, and
WHEREAS we believe it to be for the
best interest of the tax payers of
Villas County that such Municipal
Court be abolished and that there be
conferred upon the County Court of
Villas County civil and criminal juris-
diction now exercised by the Munich
pal Court to the end that the County
Court exercise all the powers of such
Municipal Court and have conferred
upon it civil and criminal Jurisdiction
and
WHEREAS we believe that such a
combined court could perform all the
functions and duties now exercised
by the County Court and by the Mu-
nicipal Court and in so doing would
save TO the taxpayers Of Villas County
the expense of the salary, office rent,
ETC., entailed by maintaining the
Municipal Court as a separate court,
without loss in efficiency.
NOW THEREFORE BE 1T RES
OLVED by the County Board of
Villas County, in adjourned annual
meeting duly assembled. that COM
mittee of Hon. Chas. Backstrom, Hon.
Frank W. Carter and Hon. John E.
Powell, Supervisors and members of
of this board be and they are hereby
appointed a committee. to make full
investigation of the work of the Mu-
nicipal Court of Villas County to de-
bermine what saving might be made
were such cou TT abolished and the
civil and criminal jurisdiction now ex-
ercised by the Municipal Court con-
ferred upon the County Court, and
To make such investigation as such
COMMITTEE may deem necessary to de-
termine the results obtained in other
counties in this state where the Coun-
ty Court has Civil and criminal Jur-
iSdiction, and
If to such committee it is thought
best to have prepared pliminary
draft of a bill abolishing such Munich
pal Court and comforting upon the
County Court civil and criminal juris-
diction together with such recommen-
daUiOnS as TO the extent Of the civil
and criminal Jurisdiction the commit
tee believes should be conferred upon
The County Court, The salary which
should be fixed for TIE judge Of such
County Court the question Of a clerk
for sucn court, the question of stem
ographer for such court, and any other
suggestions which said committee
might believe will be helpful to this
board III considering further the ques-
6ion aud
That the committee shall make
such Investigation and lille with this
board its report not later than three
snonths from this date.
This board knows that it will be
necessary to go to the Legislature for
any relief in the above matter which
il may desire and that only the Leg
