Mr. Chapman offered the following, which, on motion of
Mr. Mount, was unanimously adopted by the Board :
WHEREAS, It has been made to appear to this Board by the very full state-
ment of the County Judge and Surrogate of this County, as well as by the obser-
vation and experience of some of our own number, that the present rooms used
for holding certain terms of the County Court, without a jury, and for holding
Surrogate's Courts, are inadequate for the comfortable transaction of business
brought before those Courts, and for the convenience of the people of the County
having occasion to attend ; and
WHEREAS, More room is also needed for clerk accommodations and for the
safe keeping of the Records of the Surrogate's Court, and of wills, bonds and
other papers of very great importance to the people of this County ; and
WHEREAS, Also, the safety of the valuable securities and records relating
to the interests of widows, orphans and creditors as well as of others, in the
estates of deceased persons, by derivation of titles therefrom and otherwise, will
be more certainly secured by diminishing the number of occupants of the second
floor of the Clerk's office belonging to the people of the County, and by reducing
the number of fires now employed in heating and lighting said second floor; now,
therefore,
Resolved.—That the whole of the second story of said Clerk'{ office building
be, and the same hereby is, set apart for ,he use of the Surrogate's Court, and for
the holding of such terms of the County Court as the law provides may be held
elsewhere than at the Court House, and that such alterations and improvements
be made in said second story, and such increased desk and other accommodations
be provided therein, as shall be necessary for the comfortable and convenient', use
of the people of the County having business in those Courts, and for the preser-
vation of the records thereof.
Resolved.—Also, that a committee of three from this Board be appointed by
the Board to carry into effect the objects of the foregoing resolution; and in mak-
ing the proposed alterations and improvements, and in procuring such additional
furniture and accommodations as may be required, said committee is hereby rec-
ommended to consult the views of the County Judge and Surrogate of the Coun-
ty who is more especially familiar with what is necessary and convenient in rooms
required for the purposes of the Courts held by him. And also that this commit-
tee be empowered to procure a suitable room or rooms for the District Attorney
for the remainder of his term.

All present.
Mr. Cooper offered the following :
Resolved.—That, in consequence of the largely increased business in the Sur-
rogate's Court of this County within the last ten years, caused in some part by
increase in our population, but mostly by the large increase and more general dis-
tribution of wealth among our citizens, and by the consequent more general set-
tlement of the estates of deceased persons in that court than formerly, whereby a
largelyincreased amount of labor and responsibility is imposed upon the Surro-
gate, which has been still further augmented by recent statutes extending his
jurisdiction and making the practice in his court more complex; and in considera-
tion also of the further fact that the same officer,in his capacity as County Judge,ia
necessarily occupied with the business of the County Courts more exclusively than
in former years ; we deem it necessary for the prompt, careful and efficient dis-
charge of the duties of the Surrogate, relating in great measure to the interests of
widows and minors, deserving our care and protection, that a suitable and com-
petent clerk be employed in the Surrogate's Court, and that the Surrogate is here-
by authorized to appoint such clerk, whose compensation is hereby fixed at the
sum of Three Hundred Dollars per annum,which sum shall hereafter be a County
charge.
Mr. Crocker offered the following :
Resolved.—That the resolution offered by Mr. Cooper be amended by striking
out the words "Three Hundred Dollars" and inserting the words Two Hundred
and Fifty Dollars.
The ayes and nays were called for on the foregoing amend-
ment with the following result :
Messrs. Beers, George, Frear, Crocker and Horton, ayes 5.

ly adopted.

Resolved.—That the County Treasurer be permitted to retain for his own use
the one per cent for receiving and disbursing the State Public School moneys ap-
propriated by the State as fees for the County Treasurer. Adopted.

124 SUPERVISORS, PROCEEDINGS.
DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES, ETC., OF TOWN OFFICERS.
Each Supervisor must execute to, and deposit with, the County Treasurer, a
bond for the accounting of all school moneys which may come into his hands,
before entering upon the duties of his office.
Each Supervisor must make and deliver to the Town Clerk of his Town, his
bond for the faithful discharge of his official duties, and to account for all moneys
corning into his hands as such Supervisor.
The Trustees of School Districts shall report to the School Commissioners
between October first and the second Tuesday of the same month.
The School moneys are apportioned annually by the School Commissioners,
on the third Tuesday of March.
The Commissioner of Highways must execute a bond to the Supervisor of his
town within ten days after his election.
Overseers of Highways must file a statement of all unworked highway -tax
with the Supervisors of their respective lovas, on or before the first day of
October.
The Collector shall, within eight days after receiving notice of the amount of
taxes to be collected by him, execute to the Supervisor of the Town, and lodge
with him, a bond in double the amount of said taxes, to be approued by the Su-
pervisor. The Supervisor, shall, within six days thereafter, file said bond in the
office of the County Clerk of his County.
The Assessors must complete the Assessment Roll on or before the first day
of 'August, and leave a copy thereof with one of their number, and immediately
thereafter, cause notice to be posted in three or more public places in their town
or ward.
The Assessors shall meet on the third Tuesday in August, to review their as-
sessments, and hear the complaint of any person conceiving himself aggrieved.
An affidavit to the Roll by the Assessors, made prior to the third Tuesday of
August is a nullity. The Assessors must deliver the corrected Assessment Roll
to the Supervisor on or before the first day of September. The Assessor cannot
enter the name of a person on his Roll who became a resident after the first day of
July.
When the Assessors, or a majority of them, shall have completed their Roll,
they shall severally appear before one of the justices of the town or city in which
they shall reside, and shall severally make and subscribe, before such justice, an
oath, in the following form :
"We, the undersigned, do severally depose and swear that we have set down,
in the foregoing Assessment Roll, all the real estate situate in tile Town (or ward
}
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 125
as the case may be,) according to our best information; and that, with the excep-
tion of those cases in which the value of the said real estate has been changed by
reason of proof produced before us, we have estimated the value of the said real
estate at the sums which a majority of the Assessors have decided to be the full
and true value thereof, and at which they would appraise the same in payment of
a just debt due from a solvent debtor, and also that the said Assessment Roll con-
tains a true statement of the aggregate amount of the taxable personal estate of
each and every person named in such Roll, over and above the amount of debts
due from such persons, respectively, and excluding such stocks as are otherwise
taxable, and such other property as is exempt by law from taxation, at the full
and true value thereof, according to our best judgement and belief."
The foregoing oath is in the precise language of the statute, and any depart-
ure therefrom, by assessors, is as needless as it is hazardous. The phraseology of
the statute would seem to be as concise as is compatible with its comprehensive-
ness. It is possible that a somewhat briefer form of oath, embodying the sub-
stance of the form laid down in the statute, might be adopted—but who can know
that the substance of the statutory oath is preserved ? No one, until the question
has been passed upon by a competent Court. It will thus be seen that he who
departs from, by abridging, the form set forth in the statute, is very liable to
cause the tax -payers to pay pretty dearly for his economy of ink and paper. And
the possibility of any variance from the precise words of the statute with safety,
has reference only to form ; any change in substance would be fatal. For in-
stance : it is thought that taking the oath before any other officer than a justice
of the peace of the town, (or city) in which the assessors reside; or the omission
to state the value of the property assessed, the basis on which the estimate is
made, and that such estimate is according to the best judgment and belief of the
assessors subscribing the oath, or of a majority of them ; it is thought that these
defects, or any of them, would render the assessment a nullity, because not in ac-
cordance with the statute. It is hoped that the assessors of the several towns of this
County will observe the strict letter of the statute In the performance of their
important and responsible duties.
The Supervisor must report to the County Treasurer, on the first Tuesday in
March, the amount of School moneys remaining in his hands.
Each Justice of the Peace must execute a bond to the Supervisor of his
Town.
Each Justice of the Peace shall make a report in writing, verified by oath
every year, bearing date the first day of November, to the Board of Supervisors,
at their annual session, in which he shall state particularly the time when, and
the name of the person or persons from whom, any money has been received, and
also the amount, and on what account the same was received ; also all sums re-
maining due and unpaid; and that all moneys by him receive d have been paid to
the officer duly empowered by law to receive the same.
126 SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
Each Justice of the Peace must pay all the money received by him, for fines
or penalties, to the Supervisor of his Town.
Overseers of the Poor cannot furnish supplies to a County pauper to exceed
the sum of ten dollars,without an order from the County Superintendents author
izing further disbursements for such purpose.
All bills payable by towns must be presented to the Town Auditors for their
approval.
All bills for supplies furnished to County paupers, must be presented to the
County Superintendents of the Poor, for audit.
ALL BILLS PEESENTED TO ANY AUDITING BOARD,MUST BE VERIFIED BY OATH,
STATING THAT THE SAME ARE CORRECT IN EVERY PARTICULAR, AND THAT NO
COMPENSATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR THE SAME, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EX-
CEPT AS THEREIN STATED.
