L \. . A TEE SOLONS AT WORK. THIS WEEKS ’ PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Progress of Routine Work. — A Grist of Assessments. — County Superintendent Eossman ’ s Report. Four supervisors failed to put in an ap pearance at the session of the board on Monday. One of the absentees was the Gallatin supervisor, and it was reported that his detention at home was occasioned by the sudden death of a five-year-old son. The session was brief, and not much busi ness of special interest was transacted. Mr. Powell, of the special committee ap pointed last week, presented lengthy resolutions eulogistic of the personal char acter and eminent public services of the late ex-President Arthur, which were unanimously adopted and ordered spread upon the minutes . Clerk Waterman was also directed to forward a copy of the reso- lutious to the children of the deceased ex president. The Columbia Republican was designated as a paper ^0 publish the session laws for the ensuing year. A resolution designating that journal and the Hudson Gazette as. official county papers was presented and made a special order for Thursday. Mr. Lockwood ’ s resolution devoting afternoon sessions hereafter to committee work was adopted. Messrs. Bates, Curtis and Mc- Kinstry were appointed a special commit tee to report as to what in their judgment would be for the best interest of the County as to paying or refunding county bonds becoming due March next. The election of an officer to take charge of the burial of deceased soldiers, sailors and marines was made a special order for Dec. 9. at 10 o ’ clock. The board accepted an invitation to visit the Hudson Orphan Asylum on Thursday afternoon. Several towns reported their indebted ness. and the following assessments were ordered : Chatham, $4,425, to pay princi pal and interest, and $1,000 for roads and bridges; Claverack, $200 for support of poor, $250 for roads and bridges, and $150 for town physician. T uesday . — In the business session, this morning, Supervisor Powell presented a; resolution of condolence and sympathy with Supervisor Younghanse, of Gallatin, oh the death of his son. The consideration of the special order concerning the printing of the journal was postponed until next Monday. The special order covering a tax matter between the towns of Claverack and Tagh- kanic was referred to the committee on laws. County Superintendent R. W, Rossman sent a formal invitation to the board to visit the county house and farm in a body at such time as should be convenient to them. The communication was placed on file. Several additional towns reported the amount of their indebtedness. The Hud son Orphan and Relief association sent in their bill amounting to $5,572.84. It was referred to the appropriate committee. On motion of Mr. Bates the chairman of each committee was required to give notice in open board of the hour of meeting of his committee. Assessments were ordered as follows; Hew Lebanon, $6,105 to pay interest, and $450 for roads and bridges; Kinderhook, $3,000 for roads and bridges, and $287.38 to pay interest; Greeuport, $415.94 for roads and bridges; Austerlitz, $765 for roads and bridges. The afternoon was devoted to committee work. W ednesday . —Several seats in the board room were vacant to-day. Supervisor Younghanse was standing at the side of a tiny grave and interring an only son who has furnished much of the light and happi ness of a Gallatin household; Supervisor Yan Rensselaer was confined to a sick-room at his home in Stockport; the Lebanon supervisor found more congenial business in Troy than taking care of affairs in Co lumbia county, and one or two Hudson supervisors were busy building their politi cal fences around town. The quorum who attended the morning session plodded along and did a very fair morning ’ s work. The report of County Superintendent Rossman was read. It covered a period of ten months and showed the receipts for that time were $11,766.71 and the expenditures $14,810.14. The whole number relieved and supported during that time was 439, which includes three births. Nineteen died and 277 ■were discharged in the ten- months. The number remaining on Nov. 1 was 143. There were 28 insane patients in the county asylum and 67 county charges in other asylums. The Superintendent reports that many improvements have been made in and around the county alms house and farm. Among the most important has been the erection of coverings over the stoops enter ing the male and female departments of the main building, and the same over the stoops of the colored house, offering protection from heat in summer and snow and ice in the winter. A new floor of Georgia pine has been laid in the upper sleeping room of the male department and a couple of build ings have been reshingled. A new mow ing machine and other implements have been placed upon the farm and a new double wagon purchased. The old ice house has been torn down and a new one is in course of erection. There have been no epidemics among the inmates, and their general health has been good. The infirm and sick are cared for as well as it is possible with the accommoda tions provided. Only ten inmates during the ten months were able to do much labor on the farm. Sixteen thousand dollars is asked for general expenses and an additional sum of $1,500 for building and repairs. . On motion of Mr. Powell the report was returned to the superintendent for the cor rection of a trifling clerical error. The assessors of Kinderhook applied through Supervisor Yan Yalkenburgh to have sundry omissions in the assessment roll corrected. A resolution was passed covering the matter. A petition from An- cram, of the same nature, was similarly disposed of. The board decided to visit the county house on Dec. 10. The salaries of certain officers were fixed as follows : Armorer and Janitor one year $600; to I. N. Collier, for Clerk to Surrogate, to be under his control, annual salary commenc ing January 1st, 1887, payable quarterly, itrcluding janitor work, $550. The follow ing assessments were levied: Stuyvesant, §232.99 for highway indebtedness, and $250 for roads and bridges: Chatham, $230.74 for roads and bridges and $1,731.42 to pay certificates and interest. T hursday . — As soon as the minutes of yesterday ’ s session had been read, the board took up the special order of the day, and proceeded to designate the newspapers that should be styled the “ official ” papers for the coming year. The Hudson Gazette had no opposition, and by doing some live ly skipping around md cc railing four dem ocratic votes, the Columbia Republican also managed to squeeze through on a majority of one,in an 8 to 7 deal in the board. Eight or nine reports of the county treasurer were read and approved to the appropriate com mittees. Taxes remaining unpaid were ordered referred to the supervisors of the towns for them to say whether they should be re-assessed or assessed upon their respective towns at large. The clerk was directed to add to the as sessment rolls the amount of uncollected school taxes returned to the trustees of the various districts, to the county treasurer, and that said taxes be re-assessed upon the lots so returned with seven per cent, in addition thereto ; also that the col lector of the various towns be authorized by their warrants to collect said amounts and pay over the same to the county treasurer. Assessments were levied as follows : Hillsdale, $1,750, for roads and bridges; Ancram, $535, to pay note. A number of supervisors visited the Hud- son Orphan Asylum in the afternoon and the hoard ad journed until next Monday. THE NEW RAILROAD DEPOT. THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD IT AL READY TAKEN.

The competition will continue until February. VALATIE. Residents of Chatham can reasonably expect to see the long talked of new Boston & Albany depot erected in this village within the next few months. It has always Leen understood by the public that the advent of the new depot would be marked by a straightening of the main tracks. This preliminary piece of work has already been accomplished. Chief Engineer Wm. H. Russell and other officials of the road arrived in Chat ham early on Wednesday morning, and under their direction Trackmaster Went worth and. a heavy gang of section men. recruited gangs from Schodack, Kinder hook, Chatham Centre, East Chatham, and Canaan, proceeded to tear out switches and other obstructions, and move rails so as to change the west-bound main track to the south side of the old tank house. The work was completed yesterday, and west bound trains will pass over the new track this afternoon. The air is full of rumors concerning the intentions of the company, and the 'citizen who knows it all “ on good authority ” is putting in extra time dispensing a large fund of gratuitous information. The mass of conflicting reports have been collated and reveal to the reporter of the C hat ham R epublican the fact that the Boston & Albany railroad company proposes to build a new railroad depot, and that work on the foundation will begin at once. The erection of the building itself will probably immediately follow, although it may be deferred until next spring. It will he a commodious and elegant brick struc ture, with stone trimmings, although there is a possibility that stone and iron may chiefly be used in its construction. The depot will be a two-story structure, unless the directors change their minds. The interior arrangements will be such as to make it the most handsome building of tile. kind in this section of the country, and passengers will be glad when a train is behind time, as that will give them an ex cuse to linger in the building. It is expected that the depot will use up about $150,000 of the company ’ s surplus by the time Sta tion Agent D. S. Lovejoy enters into occu pancy of the building, unless the directors finally conclude that about $75,000 is . sufficient money to expend for this purpose. The depot will be located on the ground now, in part, occupied by the turn table. Its front will be on Park Row, and will extend from Depot street to the main tracks. In its depth, the building will probably include the site of the tank house. The rear walls will al most touch the building now used as a freight house. It is also determined that a front corner-stone shall be planted squarely in the centre of Michael Rorke ’ s present business office. All of which shows that none of our citizens know anything about the matter, beyond the fact that we are to have a new depot. — Nelson and Robert Merwin returned to New York to attend school on Monday morning. — The local Knights of Labor organiza tion is richer by about $75, owing to their recent ball. — William Yan Hoesen was on from the west visiting friends dn^this vicinity during the past week. — D.
