which has been printed in The Son-
line], was accepted.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after 8 o‘clock in the Fitch
whoolhouse by District Commissioner
William H. Sniffin.’ The unanimous
choice for chairman was E. E. Got
ham. Stewart C. Marshall was the
clerk of the session. Pretious to the
meeting's opening. Mr. Snlfhn passed
around to those present, printed
copies of the commiSsioner‘s report.
When the meeting was called Attor
nev Leo Davis was on his feet.
”is the original report here?" he
asked. “This," watiug the printed
s.l1cct “is signed ‘dlstrict commission
ers.‘ What's the use of reading on
or discussing it when two of the com-
missionets have not signed it? is
there a signed report from which this
is taken? How can we act upon this,
legally, morally, 01 any other way?
it’ s a waste of time to read it "
“i didn't think it necessary to have
like report signed," declared Commis-
sioner Snidin.
“Is that your method of doing bnsl
ness'Q' asked Mr. Davis. “This is
nothing more or less than an eight
sheet.’ 1 move it be laid on the
table."
“1 second that motion," said Angus
lus Billenstein.
"Why should it be' rejected?" asked
William C. Twombly.
“Because no original has been filed
. with the clerk ”
”i have no hesitancy to signing the
report,” said Commissioner Snimn.
"and I'm sure none of the other com-
missioners have." .
- “I understand," stated Commission-
er John D. Carr, referring to the re-
port, “from legal authority. that it
isn't right." .
Chairman Gorham tainted‘that the
paper, not signed, isn't a report.
“If the commissioners signed this
report," aske‘d Louis Anderson, "what
would it be good for? It wouldn't be
good for anything. If they sign one,
I don't see why they shouldn't sign
all." There were several hundred

* "That is right",
' Mr. Davis asked the commissioners
if they had examined the report to
learn if any typographical errors had
been made by the printers. Mr. Da
vis; after the three. commissioners
signed a copy of the report, withdrew
his motion to table it, as being out of
order. Mr. Blilenstein, who seconded
the motion, declared he didn’t think
he would withdraw, but finally did so.
The repo;i of the commissioners
and the treasurer was read by Clerk
Marshall. in reading the trea'surer‘s
L report from the carbon of the original
copy, thercl'erk read” the disburse-
ments, which were not contained in
the printedrreport in the hands of
the members of the meeting.
"That shows the fallacy of the print-
é‘d report ” said Mr. Davis.
“How much does the Third District
owe?” Judge John 9‘. Welsh askedmof
Myron W. Osborn, treasurer. "
urer Osborn answered. ‘ ‘1
"'And to onset that,” asked the
judge, “we have the electric light
plant, the sewer system, and the fire

Ralph E De Witt moved that: the
treasurers report; as read. he accept.
There was no obiection, and it

interest. If that isn't granted it will
be included in our next budget. We

"The electric plant has cost 3:28;,
600," he said. “in one year and a half
we have allowed $31,500. in addition
to that there has been drawn “.500:
over and above the plant's income.“
“At the last district m‘ti‘eting,""Mr.
Davis continued. “l urged an appropri-
ation of about $5.000. because if it
wasn‘t made. we would have a law
suit from the Lewis Roth Company, “of

Mr. Davis then took up the matter
of Mr. ‘Sniliin making a contract with

was said this transaction was put
across by Mr. Sniflin without the, our,

“1 consider those remarks per-I

speaker, “and i think it time 1 took a
