A motion carried reducing the allowance for feeding prisoners in the county jail from 60 cents for food and 15 cents for maintenance each per day to 40 cents for food and 15 cents for maintenance.
Extend plan to Criswell
On statement of Dr. T. G. Glass, county health officer, that at times he has to make long trips such as where epidemics occur in school and has other expenses, the commissioners adopted a motion that in such cases a school trustee or some resident of the community come after him.
An order was passed including the road from the Reed ranch on the upper Groesbeck road to Criswell schoolhouse in the plan for improvement provided the bond issue to be voted on Saturday in District No. 9 is authorized.
