A meeting of tlm delegation was • hold Monday at which time several of the county officers took up certain matters iff connection with the of fices. ... Chief among these was Commissioner rimer who has to submit to the delegation his recoin, mendation for the expenses of the county government for the year. No definite action was taken, as M-. Peurifo)the other member of the delegation, was not well enough to he at the meeting and certain infor. mation the delegation desired was not available.
