L F * < JOHNSON, EDITOR AND MA jM . V0L- *wMEETING OF COUNT A Very Small Business ! New Roads tax books received, ti Several Reports Received and Ordered Recorded Other Minor Business Before the BoardThe Board of County Commissioners . met in regular session in the offico of H-u-stofof Deeds on Monday with ' all memben present. After reading and - rarpr .ving the minutes of previous >"Mings the following business was atton Jed to or otherwise disposed of: lames Hiliiard was allowed to have his bugjjy repaired, at the expense of the county, which was broken by his horse falling through the bridge. IV. H. Mosely was relieved of poll tax in Sandy Creek township. it was ordered that the overseers of lolly Road near Mrs. Eaves arpl John Young Continue to work the present road until the parties interested establish the line. Also the same order applies to; the rout leading from Mrs. Eaves to the Millford road. Reeoio Williams was allowed to go to the county home. H. D. Egerton was allowed piping 10 nx tne road near nis Dome. K. X. Williams was allowed piping to lix the road at Hall's bridge. John SrEoddie was allowed license to sell -tock and poultry powders in Franklin county'for three monthB. Mr. Bowden was allowed to lay off a new road in Cedar Kock township-^ siid rood to be where an old path now is. Report of Dr. J. E. Malone, Super- [ intendent of Health was received and tiled, ijj ** Report of K. R. Pleasant, Manager of th. Medical Depository, was received ^ "? and tiled. I The petition of Mr. A. C. Vickre-j lative to a new road in Cypress Creek township was ordered to be lieard at j the next regular meeting. Report of E. N. Williams, Supcrin- j tendent of the County Home was re-1 ceiwd and Bled He reports 10 whites and 13 colored inmates. The tax boohs were received and j > turned over to the sheriff for collec- | tion. After allowing a number of accounts | the Buard adjourned to its next tegular " " meeting?the first Monday m Novemiier Superintendent's Salary. Ac the question of the salary for the Superintendent of Health has late much discussed in this coftntv of later and is still a question that is puzzling the authorities we have gone over the annual statement* from December 1st, I li>04 to November 31, 1910, and find ; that during this period the sum of $3.- < 679.1^. has been paid to physicians perA. forming the I duties that is now proposed to be put into the hands of one * man. As tills covers "a period of six years it will be seen that the average cost per year to the county, has "been j ab"vc $400.00. In these figures will be found the cost of the year 1910 which was approximately $1,135.68. If it is true that fully a third mot e work has 'been given this officer it can easily be gecnthat the tlat salary !pt $1,000.00 per year without tmy? extra charges whatever might be the cheapest. VTe arc not giving these figures however as absolutely correct as it would be impossible to do so without seeing the itemised accounts, but they arb approximately so. There is hardly any doubt but that the salary basis would be the *?" most satisfactory to bothsides whether the salary be $1,090.00 or not, as the public officee are being placed in the s'lar* column moro and mors each year i with corresponding sstfactory results. ' We sincerely hope that the question can | 1 1* rm .oftlSd soon In an agreeable manner thafive may not have conditions equal b ts our sister county, Wake.
