WON'T VISIT COUNTY HOUSE

Supervisors Decide to Send a Committee Instead

WALTERS IS CHAIRMAN

The Bridgewater Supervisor Was Unanimously Re-elected Chairman This Afternoon

The Board of Supervisors bogan their annual session Monday, 24 supervisors answering to the first roll call, others arriving for the afternoon. Sumner Damon was elected chairman pro tem.

After dinner the board unanimously elected George Walters, of Bridgewater, chairman, and Sumner Damon, of Ypsilanti, chairman pro tem. The rules were changed by dropping four committees on claims, whose work is now done by the 'board of county auditors. Messrs. McCullough and Schumacher were appointed a committee on special order of business.

Supervisor Miner moved that the board, as a committee of the whole, visit the county house Thursday next. Supervisor Raymond amended by making it a committee of five who should visit the county house. the amendment carried by the close vote of 13 yeas to 12 nays, thus for the first time breaking up a long established custom.

The hours of meeting were fixed at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

A number of new faces are on the board this year.
