food and 15 cents for maintenance.

On statement of
Dr. T. G. Glass, county health officer, that at times he has to make long trips
such as where epidemics occur in school and has other expenses, the
commissioners adopted a motion that in such cases a school trustee or some
resident of the community come after
him.
An order was passed including the road from the Reed ranch on the upper
Groesbeeck road to Criswell schoolhouse in the plan for improvement provided the
bond issue to be voted on Saturday in District No. 9 is authorized.
