I. &L. Ry., Co.; action on account. —o — Following is the remainder of the proceedings of the commissioners’ court, proceedings of Saturday: In matter of poor farm supplies for the next quarter, contract was let to John Eger for groceries at $122; Geo. E. Murray, dry goods, clothing and shoes, $54.30; Moody & Roth, meat, $31.50. This is a larger amount, we believe, than has ever been required since the law making it oblgatory to let the supplies by contract went into effect, although the number of inmates of the poor asylum proper has been greater than now. The claim of A. J. Bellows of $262.24 for money expended on Gallagher ditch, was allowed at $35. Following is the report of the superintendent of the county asylum and poor farm for the quarter ending August 31, 1903, of expense and receipts for the quarter.
