An Excellent List of Committee Appoint-, ments. The board of supervisors assembled in the Hudson courthouse, Tuesday afternoon prepared to begin the actual work of the regular session. Supervisor Yonnghanse. being the only member absent when Chair man Barnes ’ s gavel fell and Clerk Water man proceeded to call the roll. The Galla tin supervisor was detained at home by sickness in his family. The opening pro ceedings were watched by a number of spectators, and the announcement -of 'the committee appointments was awaited with evident interest, in which the members, of the board shared equaliy with the'people outside the railing. ‘ - After theformal opening proceedings were disposed of, Mr. Powell; of Chatham, offered a resolution requiring that three days ’ notice should be given of any propossed action in connection with count}' house matters. The resolution was, however, laid on the table by a vote of 11 ayes, 10 nays/ Thursday, Nov. IS, was fixed upon as the day on which the two official papers should be designated, according to a reso lution, offered by Supervisor Hoysradt. Mr. Tilden, however, was evidently not in a hurry to have the official canvass pub-' lished and he expressed a desire to have the naming of the papers deferred until toward the end of the session. The board promptly “ killed ” his amendment. A pro posed amendment to Rule 24 shared a like fate. The board fixed its hour of meeting at 10 o ’ clock a. m. ; ordered up a special committee of three to,contract' for board of children in the Hudson orphan asylum; appointed Kuluf Heefus as assistant clerk and directed Clerk Waterman to have printed one hundred copies of the rules and orders of the. board, for'the use of the members. Mr. Ambler ’ s proposed rule No. 83 which lays a fine of $50 on supervisors who neglect or refuse to attend sessions was withdrawn by him, pending an inquiry as to whether the board has legal aruthonty to make and enforce such a rule. Mr. Herbs offered a resolution to the effect that this board of supervisors will not audit or allow any bill or claims of attor neys for services or assistance rendered to any of its special or standing committees in performance of their duties, unless the em ployment of an- attorney is specially author ized by a .resolution of this board. After considerable discussion, Mr. Bates moved to lay the resolution on the table. The resolution was, however, finally adopted.' Chairmaiu Barnes announced the follow ing standing committees: On Sheriff ’ s and Jailer ’ s Accounts — Messrs. McKinstry, Miller, Hoysradt, . On County Clerk ’ s Accounts — Messrs. Du- Bois, Van Bergen, Van Valkenburgb. On County Treasurer ’ s Accounts — Messrs. Powell, Tiiden, Miles. On Superintendent of Poor Accounts — Messrs. Kniskern, Van Rensselaer. McKinstry. On Commissioner of Loans ’ Accounts — Messrs. Sheldon, Younghanse, Van Tassel. On Justices ’ Accounts — Messrs. Miller, Lock- wood, Herbs. On Constables ’ Accounts, No. 1 — Messrs. Younghanse, Van Tassel, Lockwood. On Constables ’ Accounts, No. 2— Messrs. Heibs, Ambler, Van Bergen. On Town Accounts — Messrs. Curtis, Young hanse, T. Conner. On Illegai Taxes — Messrs.

Van Valkenburgh, Kniskern, Miller. On Burial of Discharged Soldiers ’ Accounts — Messrs. Powell; Tilden, McKinstry. The board then adjourned until Wednes day. ' W ednesday . — Until the committees are able to get to the work before them, -there will be but little business for the board to transact. The open session to-day lasted less than an hour and but for the special order set down for Thursday, the members could conveniently have taken a recess until next week. As it was, three members- were absent. The clerk was instructed to take from the box in the county clerk ’ s office all bills against the county, and as soon as they were classified distribute them to the appro priate committees. When this has been done the work of the board will move steadily along, and unless there, is an. : “ equalization ” circus later on, the session of 1886 will be one of reasonable brevity, A resolution was passed authorizing the county treasurer to borrow $10,000 to defray necessary and current expenses. The Hew Lebanon supervisor wished to except the : payment of drafts drawn om the county treasurer by the county superintendent of poor, but his amendment was defeated by a vote of .9 to 10. standing rule No. 27j of last session; was again adopted. It relates to the suspension of the rules of the board. t A petition was granted allowing the lady managers of the Home for the Aged free use of coal and gas while holding a fair in the armory. The tax books were ordered placed in the clerk ’ s hands on the first day of the regular session in December. The clerk was directed ’ to buy necessary postage stamps for the use of the board. Chairmah. Barnes appointed Messrs. Powell, McKins try and T. Connor as special committee to make a contract for the board of children at the Hudson orphan asylum. On motion of Mr. Bates, the chairman of each committee having accounts to audit against the several towns were directed to refer them to the supervisor of the town on which they were drawn, before allowing the same. The board also discussed the problem whether to adjourn until next week or continue in session on Thursday. They finally ad journed until Thursday afternoon. T hursday . — Several reports and com munications were received to-day and filed for future action. The Chatham railroad commissioners reported that $27,500 of bonds were outstanding and that $4,425 would be required to pay priucipal and interest falling due within the ensuing year. Hudson was-assessed $2,500 for support of poor. Dr. Bales reported that be bad shipped Barney Norton, an inmate of the cdiraty poor house, to his friends in Cali fornia, at an expense of $52.68. Sealed proposals for printing 2,000 copies of the journal and delivering same not later than April 1, were ordered received until Dec. 8, at 2 p. m. A resolution appropriating $200 for each school commissioner was laid over under the rule. ' On reaching the special order of the day, a paper was handed in designating the Hudson Gazette as the - democratic paper to publish the session laws for the coming year. It was signed by all the democratic supervisors except S. J. Tilden, jr., and M. Connor. Dr. Bates stated .that the Republican supervisors bad not yet agreed on the selec tion of a paper, and asked that the consid eration of the special order be postponed to enable them to do so. A paper designating the Columbia Republican, but not having on it the required number of names, was reported as having been banded to the clerk. After some discussion,action on the matter of designating official papers was postponed until Nov. ’ 29, at 2 p. m. The board after ward adjourned until next Monday after- Columbia County.

Why this mail can ’ t be carried on the 3.12 that now is a way train from Albany, is what folks would like to know. — Changes in time on the B. & A. R. R. give us four trains each way, daily. Those going west are scheduled at 5.42 and 8.36 a. m., 12.20 and 6.20 p. m.; trains going east leave at 7.42 a. m. , 3-12, 6.43 and 9.23 p. m.
