and making the further inquiry as to
what was the sources of revenue of the
county. To this inquiry Mr. Bagg re
plied by presenting the printed report of
the County Commissioners from 1878 to
1881; showing a reduction from the ex
penses of the previous Board under Re
publican rule in 1878, when the expenses
were over $41,000, to the report of 1880,
when the expenses under the present
Board were something over $24,000.
Chairman Bagg farther stated that in
that period they had paid off a floating
debt of $9,010 and reduced the bonded
debt from $60,010 to $29,000.
Justice John Cowan then moved that
the report of the County Commissioners
be received and adopted. Motion car
ried unanimously.
Justice . D. Hall then, after a few
appropriate remarks, in which he stated
in complimentary terms his entire confi
dence in the gentlemen composing the
Board of County Commissioners, intro
duced the following resolution:
Resolved, That hereafter when a joint
convention of the County Commissioners
and Justices of the Peace shall be held
for tho purpose of leving taxes or for any
other purpose requiring the collection or

of County Commissioners cause to be
prepared a detailed statement of what is
required, so as to eiable the Justices to
act intelligently when the convention as
sembles. Said statement to be furnished
to each Justice at least five days before
the meeting of such convention. '
Commissioner Worth endorsed J ustice
Hall's resolution and thought it a good
idea which ought to be carried out. The
resolution was then, upon motion, unani
mously adopted, after which, upon mo
tion of Justice King, the meeting ad
