of the April meeting in directing the
procedure of the road gangs to certain
districts had not been carried out but
had been undone at the next meeting.
He said there were complaints of too
much work being done in certain dis
tricts and very little in otheres; he
asked that action of April meeting be
sustained. During the discussion that
followed it was pointed out that the
program had not been changed, but
the Autreyville road out to the Coot
idge and lone road, running it to
where it intersects with the Moultrie
and Pavo road, three miles from Pavo.
He asked that this road be given
preference over thp middle Coolidge-
Pavo road which the board had agreed
to sand-clay some three months ago.

“Whereas, nearly a year ago the

holding funds due the County; and
whereas we have accomplished noth
ing towards an adjustment or clear
ing up these charges made by the
auditor, now.
Be it resolved that it is our duty as

instituted for the purpose of getting
the money for the County if it oe
found due, or to clear the Clerk of
the auditors charge if it he not due.
And the County Attorney is instruct
ed to proceed with suit.”
He said the matter had been dragg
ing along for about a year and that he
thought that in-justice to the Clerk as
well as everybody concerned it should
be cleared up. After some discussion
