Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 May 1899 — The County Commissioners. [ARTICLE]

The County Commissioners.

The new laws require monthly ~ sessions on the part of the county commissioners, to begin the first Monday in every month. The laws went into effect last Friday, and that made necessary a session of the commissioners’ court beginning yesterday. Auditor Murray managed to get word to the commissioners in time for them to comply with the law, by holding a session, which they did yesterday afternoon, with Messrs. Way mire and Dowell presentand Halleck absent. These monthly sessions, take the place of the old rule of meetings four times a year. They are to last only as long as the public business absolutely requires.
