Washtenaw county is in a fair way to have a Board of County Auditors, who will meet monthly and audit all bilis against the county. Saginaw and Jackson counties also want Boards of County Auditors and the three counties have united in a joint resolution submitting an amendment to the constitution so that they may have such boards. 

The board of supervisors of Washtenaw at its session in January requested this action and appointed a committee to secure it. 

The joint resolution passed the house by a vote of 77 to 0 and was sent to the senate. By the joint resolution Article X., Section 10, of the constitution of Michigan is amended to read as follows:

Section 10. The board of supervisors, or in the counties of Saginaw, Jackson, Washtenaw and Wayne, the board of county auditors shall have the exclusive power to fix the compensation for all services rendered for, and to adjust all claims against their respective, counties, and the sum fixed and defined shall be subject to no appeal." 

If the joint resolution passes the senate it is to be submitted to a vote of the people at the election to be held the first Monday in April of this year. 

A board of County Auditors is a step in the right direction.
