COUNTY BUSINESS.

County Commissioners William H. Scott, O. A. Potter, and W. O. Marble, met Monday, March 3, in the Auditor’s office, and adjourned Thursday evening, March 6th. The following is a synopsis of the business transacted:

Samuel White, Andrew Given, Fleming Cousins, and others, petitioned for a change of highway of the Florence and Log Lick Creek road. Robert Bovard, George W. Saddler, and Wm. L. Told, were appointed viewers March 3d and ordered to report March 6th. Thursday, March 6th, the viewers reported, having laid out the proposed road, without departing essentially from the line named by the petitioners, and believe the proposed change of road is of public utility. The report of viewers was approved, they discharged, and the road ordered opened (40 feet wide) and that as soon as new road is ready for use the old one be vacated.

Darwin and Joseph Marshall, Florence; Joseph G. Thamann, Lorin M. Simmons, Vevay, were granted license to retail liquors.

William Tait, County Treasurer, presented orders redeemed by him for the quarter ending February 28, 1890, amounting to $17,006.17. Found correct and approved.

“It is ordered by the Board that David Armstrong, Guardian of John Corns, an insane person in the County Poor House, be instructed to remove said Corns from said Poor House within four weeks; and, upon his failure to do so, it is further ordered that Enoch S. Adams, keeper of said Poor House, deliver said Corns to said Guardian.”

James A. Works, F. M. Griffith, and eleven others, petitioned for a change of part of highway running through the lands of Hiram Phillips, Mary E. Griffith, Polly Boyd, and others. Charles Peters, Milo Ogle, and John Schoffaer, appointed viewers and to report at next term of Commissioners, in June.

“Ordered, that Enoch S. Adams, Superintendent of County Poor Farm, make application for the admission to the Indiana School for Feeble Minded Youth of all children now in the County Poor House who are feeble minded and fits subjects for admission to said school. And said Adams is also instructed to make application for the admission to the Central Indiana Hospital for all insane persons now in the County Poor House. And it is further ordered that the Auditor also make application for the admission of the Pelsor children, of feeble mind, to the School of Feeble Minded Children.”
