THREE AUDITORS ARE WANTED

To Audit Bills Instead of Supervisors Doing It.

RUN ON COUNTY TICKET

Each to Serve Three Years-                                     

 Present Board of Supervisors Making Record for Innovations. 

   Our Board of Supervisors want a Board of County Auditors. The spirit of reform is ripe this year. Monday the Board declared for a work house for tramps; today they declare for a board of three auditors to meet on the 10th of each month to audit all bills against the county. If this provision should be made law, as the board desires, the duties of supervisors would be largely if not almost entirely confined to his own township. It is believed that this method would bring about a better financial system.    On motion of Supervisor McCullough of Ypsilanti, a committee consisting of Whitaker, Bacon and Harriman was appointed to secure the necessary authority from the state legislature. It Is proposed that this board should be elected by the county at large, each member to serve three years and one member's term to expire each year, the first members to be elected for one, two and three-year terms. This is the system in force in many states.       Franklin J. Fletcher was re-elected superintendent of poor Tuesday afternoon. The printing of the proceedings was awarded to the Argus Democrats and the Chelsea Herald for $2.80 a pamphlet page, they being the lowest bidders.
