Vevay Reveille – 15 Dec 1881 – Page 4, Column 1

County Business.

The County Commissioners met last week, transacting a large amount of business—the most important of which was an official recognition of the fact that former Treasurers had squandered $1,637.86 of the county funds by advancing money on turnpike orders.—(This the law did not require the Treasurers to do.) It is proper to explain that no Treasurer personally profited from this blunder, and yet it is a fact that the tax-payers actually lose $1,637.86. Treasurer Robinson had business sense enough to know they were worthless, refused to receipt for them as money, but specified just what they were. But to details:

The first day of the term Maj. Silas Howe appeared and was qualified as Commissioner from the second district, (vice Wm. Stewart, time expired.) Mr. Howe will serve three years from the 3d of December, 1881.

Dr. W. A. Olcott, treasurer of Patriot School Trustees, presented his report, (which was filed Nov. 25th,) for the year ending Oct. 18th, 1881. [See newspaper for report.]

Jonas C. Lee, J. M. Burns, and others, petitioned for vacation and relocation of road, in Jefferson Township. Wm. R. Protsman, George Wainscott and Edward Park, were appointed viewers. They will meet in Auditor’s office December 23d.

Wm. C. Robinson, County Treasurer, presented orders amounting to $5,668.45 redeemed by him for the quarter ending December 1st. They were compared with the Auditor’s books, found correct and cancelled.

By request of James Curry, Superintendent of the Poor Asylum, the Commissioners visited the Asylum and took an inventory of the furniture, bedding, etc., which was entered in the record.

Wm. C. Robinson, County Treasurer, presented the following statement [see newspaper for details.]

Bristow and Lock were authorized to take dirt out of highway for fill back of abutments of bridge at Beaty’s Ford.

W. S. Tower, sheriff, reported that he had sold old stoves for $6.75, which he will pay into the Treasurer’s office.

[See newspaper for details of voting places.]

John Gill, superintendent of construction of the abutments at the lower Indian Creek bridge, reported the work completed, giving full details. Total cost $332.70.
