all have 'discharged your duties
faithfully and honestly. This has
been a busy year. The different
committees were very diligent with ,
their work, which made my duties
very pleasant. Our expenditures
were large in connection with some
of our county properties. The dif-
ferent committees felt the importance
and the necessity to recommend the
different improvements and repairs,
to keep the county properties up to
a certain standard, which will be an
asset to the county.

has been a worthy friend and faith-

• with our county home, also with the
care of the needy and unfortunate,
folk of our county. He always work-
ed to the best interest of the home
and the county,
"It is to be hoped that we will be
able to appoint suitable persons to
fill their positions, and by the num-
ber of applicants we have to select
from there is no doubt that we can
fill both positions with well-qualified
persons.
"I made several visits at the Chi
dren's shelter. Conditions are not
what they should be. The county
property committee should make an
early inspection of the shelter and I
believe may give some suggestions
or pass some resolutions which will
be to the best interest of our county.
This county always has been willing
and ready to assist in charitable
work."
The selection of a new inspector,
for the county hone and of a new
treasurer has been set for Thursday
afternoon. The council will meet
unofficially in caucus and will ro-
bably use the ballot to determine
which of the applicants is the pre-
ference of the majpt'ity for the posi-
tions and on assembling in council a
motion will be made to appoint the
ones thus selected. The following is
the list of applicants for the posi-
tions:
