' 3 MAIN STRFET, CHATHAM, N T, MORE “ INVESTIGATION! ” THE COUNTY TREASURER, THIS TIME Proceedings jof the Board..of Supervisors, this Week. Chairman Barnes ’ seat was vacant when Clerk Waterman called the roll of Super visors for the afternoon session, on Mon day. The Ghent supervisor was confined to his house by sickness, and the hoard made Mr. DuBois chairman, pro tem. The first business taken in hand was the special order of the day — Mr. Tilden ’ s motion for an investigation, by an expert, of the hooks and accounts .of the County Treasurer ’ s office. Mr. Tilden moved the adoption of his resolution, and Supervisor Powell promptly “ seconded ” the motion. Mr. Curtis offered the following, as an amendment: W hereas , The reports of the County Treasurer for the year ending November 30, 1886. were received^y this Board on December 2, 1886, and were referred to the standing committee on county treas urer ’ s accounts; and W hereas , Said committee has neglected to this date to examine such reports and compare the same with the books and vouchers of said County Treasurer; and W hereas , A majority of said commit tee have expressed their inability to make such examination and report, without as sistance; therefore. Resolved, that this Board hereby employ, at the expense of the county, P. C. Havi- land, teller of the Farmers ’ National Bank of Hudson, N. Y., as an expert accountant to assist said committee in making such examination and report. Resolved, That said standing committee he and it is hereby directed forthwith to make such exmination and report. Resolved, That the Clerk notify Mr. Haviland of his employment as such ex pert accountant. A lengthy discussion ensued. Mr. Til den didn ’ t wish to say anything ’ against Mr. Haviland ’ s integrity or fitness, but he preferred to have somebody else. His anxiety for an “ expert ” seemed to cool off about 1,700 degrees, quite suddenly. “ Me Too, ” Powell entirely “ coincided ” with Mr. Tilden. He thought the amend ment meant the . “ white-washing ” of . the county treasurer. By another singular coincidence he shared in Mr. Tilden ’ s “ un bounded confidence” in the integrity of Treasurer Miller. But he didn ’ t like , the amendment. Mr. Curtis vigorously defended Mr. Haviland from the Insinuations - made ployed in that capacity, - -and said that if the hoard desired some one else to act with the gentleman referred to there would be no objection. Dr; Bates thought the investigation should he at the expense of the state — not in Columbia county alone, but in all counties of the state; He expressed him self as opposed to both resolution, and' amendment in the way they came up, al though, later on, he overlooked the fact that he could have been “ excused ” from voting at all on the question. Mr. Ambler came to the front with another “ expert ” — Mr. BostWick, but when the supporters of the amendment wished to couple the name of that gentleman with Mr. Haviland ’ s name, Mr. Tilden ’ s followers were so eager for a roll-call on the ayes and nays that they couldn ’ t spare time to entertain the sug gestion. ,The amendment was lost by the following vote; Ayes — Messrs. Ambler, Bates, M. Con ner, T. Conner, Lockwood, Miles, Powell, Tilden — 8. Nays — Messrs. Curtis, DuBois, Herbs, Hoysradt; Kniskern, McKinstry. Miller, Yan Buren, Yan Rensselaer, Yan Tassel, Yan; Yalkenburgh, Younghanse — 12. Absent — Messrs. Barnes, Sheldon — 2.' The ayes and nays were called on the amendment of Mr. Curtis, and it was adopted by the following vote: Ayes, 12; nays, 8; absent, 2. The original motion, as amended, was then adopted by a like vote. Mr. Curtis presented the following pre ambles and resolution: W hereas , There are bills involving large amounts of money presented to this Board of Supervisors for audit which con tain items not frequently presented; and W hereas , Legal opinion is necessary to be obtained before the same are passed upon, in order to promote the best interest and safety of the county, therefore, he it Resolved,- That the Chair appoint a com mittee of three of which the Chairman of this Board shall be one and Chairman thereof, who shall employ competent legal counsel, to examine into the legality of all bills referred to him by the different com mittees of this Board during its preset ses sion. During the discussion that followed,, the resolution was amended by a provision that the cost “ should not exceed $200, ” and was finally adopted. Several reports from committees were presented. ‘ The town and ward collectors were also requested to receive county drafts in payment of the holder ’ s taxes. T uesday . — A disputed tax'matter be tween Taghkanic and Copake, involving a 32-acre Woodlot was discussed and finally made a special order for next Monday. Several additional committees reported. A correction was made to the tax-roll of Canaan. A resolution by Mr. Powell was adopted raising $490 by taxation to pay for grading, working and completing a high way in the town of Chatham through lands of Lawrence Laht. Dr. Bates introduced a resolution asking the Legislature to creath a Board of Equal ization for the county of Columbia, and on his motion the Matter was made the special order for next Tuesday at 10 o ’ clock. A ■ resolution introduced, Thursday of las| t week,. was called up for final disposi tion; It. proposed to donate $75 to' the fe- porters of each Hudson daily paper. Dr. Bates moved to again “ table ” the resold-, tioh. The motion was defeated by a vote of ayes, 8; nays 12. The reporters were sq, overjoyed at the “ sop ” thrown to them, , that they quite forgot to record the matter on their “ minutes ” of the session. The board then had a sudden spasm of virtue and declined to make an appropria tion of $35,20 from the public funds to pay for copies of the Hudson papers supplied the board while in session. A sum of $50 was voted to Mv. Woodin for services the past year in the burial of deceased soldiers. Temporary Chairman DuBois named Messrs. Curtis, Hoysradt and the' Chair man as the committee to employ counsel to examine the legality of all bills referred to the committee. A sum of $250 was as sessed on Clermont for roads and bridges. W ednesday . — T wo or three committees presented their reports, which were tabled under the rule. The board resolved to re fuse audit to any bills payment of which had heretofore been refused unless the le gality of the claims were conclusively shown. Another resolution adopted pro vides that any and all bills presented to the hoard for audit,-any part of which has been presented to a former board, shall state such fact on the face of such bill: The District Attorney was directed to exe cute a bond in $1,000 with two sureties. His salary was fixed at $1,500 per year, exclu sive of hoard and traveling expenses in curred in attending to official duties out side the county. T hursday . — Chairman Barnes made his appearance in the board, but was, by his own request, relieved from his duties, and Supervisor DuBois presided. The consid eration of proposals for printing the official journal was postponed until Friday. A bounty bill of $1.25 was added to the Ghent abstract. Announcement was made that ex-Judge Cadman had been appointed counsel to the special committee created on Monday. Several committees presented their reports. The County Treasurer Was directed to report to the board concerning the chapters of the Session Laws received by him from the Secretary of State and printed by the papers authorized to pub lish the same, and delivered by him to such papers.
