County Business.

Among other business transacted by the County Commissioners was the following:

It was ordered that hereafter no house rent be paid for paupers outside Poor Asylum, and also the assistance, provisions, etc., furnished paupers outside of Poor Asylum, shall be at the uniform rate of $8 per quarter.

In regard to the petition of John Dickason and others, for change of highway near Plum Creek bridge—the object being to straighten road—Wm. R. Protsman, Wm. Satchwell and Daniel Trafelet, viewers, reported they believed change to be of public utility, and laid out the road as changed. The Board granted said change on condition that the petitions pay F. R. Dufour, guardian of John D. Dufour (owner of land through which new road is located), $25 and remove barn to such place as F. R. Dufour may designate.

William Tait, County Treasurer, presented orders redeemed by him for quarter ending August 31, 1890, amounting to $1,781.79. Approved.

In regard to the petition of Wallace W. Lamson and others, for change of road in Craig township, the report of viewers was approved and petition granted—provided that the owners of the land over which the road passes relinquish all claims for damages, except cost of the necessary fencing. Albert Shaw and Justi Thiebaud, being present, relinquished all claim for damages except the cost of the fencing.

It was ordered by the Board that hereafter applicants for school fund loans deposit $5 for necessary expenses, to be refunded when loan is effected. This order made because some persons put the county to expense of appraising land and then do not make loan.
