ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 28, 1906.
Mr. Bert. T. Baker, Clerk Board of Supervisors,
Ithaca, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 27th inst. is at hand and now that I know the
subject upon which the board of supervisors of Tompkins County
desire to confer with me, 4 have just wired- you that it is not
The, :5'trperoicors' Proceedings.55
necessary for them to come to Albany for that purpose. If you
will indicate on the map the changes which the supervisors desire
in the map to be submitted to the legislature showing the roads to
be improved in Tomplcins County, 1 will give them most careful
and thorough consideration in the preparation of the map which
I am to present. Furthermore, the law provides that the legis-
lature itself may make such changes as it deems necessary 'or
proper and I have no doubt that the map will be in the hands of
a legislative committee during a considerable portion of the session
and subject to any changes which may be desired and which your
representative in the legislature will then 'have an opportunity to
make if it does not then meet with your wishes.
Under these circumstances, I do not think it will be necessary
for you to come to Albany, but suggest that you prepare the map
showing all the roads desired and certify that it is the map adopted
and forward it to me.
Very truly yours,
d -IENRY A. VAN ALSTYN'E,
State Engineer and Surveyor.

On motion of Mr. Parker the following letter was
ordered printed in the proceedings:
ITHACA, December 17, t906.
Mr. Charles Beach,
Representing Good Roads Committee,
of Tompkins County.
Dear Mr. Beach: —
In view of your suggestion that it would be better ,policy for
the County of Tompkins should the State not advertise for bids
for the construction of more roads in Tompkins County until the
County has learned from experience how successful is the policy
now in vogue of construction by the county, and in view- of the
C
128 The - Supervisors' Proceedings.
suggestion rnadebv one .ortwo Super. isor —that they dill not feel
it. equitable that the construction of the proposed Cayuga'•HeightsHanshata' 'Co'rnei; road should precede that of some of'the roads
already petitioned for, proposals for which have'tnotet voted
by the Board on account of delay in the submission of estimates by
the. State Engineer,`dwe. submit' the followings —
It is our understanding that the general custom of the• State;
though perhaps not an invariable one, is to advertise for construc-
tion bids in one county when there are several roads ready for
construction in such 'County. TIowever this maybe, if the propo-
sition for such road is voted at the present time we will, if the
Board-so desire..notf ask ,that:the State advertise ,al- thelpresent time
for bids for the constructionaof [such road, .but will ,join,. with the
Good Roads Committee, of. the, Board of Supervisors if they, : so
desire, in • Urging the State Engineering ' Depattment not toadver-
tise for' bids for the construction' of the proposed Cayuga - Heights :
T-Ianshalv's !Corners road' sliould'precede that of+sorrie of %the'roads
are finished and the cost ascertained, -orr untilishah .time as there
are other roads in the County of Tompkins appropriations for
wwhich shall have been made so that :bids -for the construction of
said roads may be legally. advertied at the same time. ,
AVe make this suggestion because we believe in the intere of
the good roads construction in the County it would be an unfor-
tunate policy for controvet sies to arise in the "Board'Sver` the order
of construction of roads which Save been properly petitioned for,
included in, map, by the Board of Supervisors. to the ; State
Engineer, approved not only by the respective town hoards. but by
the State Engineering Department as well.
In this connection we ca11 your attention to the fact that not
only was a petition for the survey of the 'Cayuga I- Ieights,- 'Hanshaw's
Corner road signed by twelve of the thirteen present members of
the Board of Supervisors and - forwarded to the 'State'- Engineer, but
thereafter 'Assistant State Engineer Van Hoesen. of Albany and
the Division Engineer McComb of 'Syracuse both personally
examined the proposed road, and as a result thereof, fnaps, plans
and estimates have been, at no little expense, prepared by the
State and submitted for the ;approv of the Board.
It is 'of some importance ko Tompkins County that proposals
for all roads to be,improved be'voted,at ias•early,ai date •asrpossible,-

to the end that other counties may not secure State appropriations,
which are limited in amount, 4o the exclusion of Tompkins County.

election pu bill of county $156.60, making a total of $z45.00, be

Not being certain as to our authority in matter of items charged
in printing hills for folio printing for publishing condemnation pro-
ceedings. and other official notices required to be published by law,
this committee dots not feel warranted in making any recommenda-
tions, while we feel that these items are charged for at an excessive
rate and should have the attention of this 'Board.

THE ACCOUN - TIS OF ROSCOE C. WIL-
SON. AS A CORONER OP 'I'O\61'RI NS
COU NT.V.
To the Board of Supervisors:
The undersigned. Berkley Simpson. I-I. C. I :n ;.sinks and AV. Fl.
Parker, to whom it was referred as a committee to exa1ni10 into
all the facts and circumstances concerning each and every item —
and into the legality thereof as a proper county charge— contained
in the bill of Roscoe C. AWilson. as a coroner, presented to this
Board on or :Mont November 30, igoo, and again presented Januarys
21. 1907, and to report ther n ,. together with all evidence taken
upon such examination.
Do hereby repert that said cornucr. Rosene C. AA iisou. was
sworn and examined as a witness before us_ as such committee. and
also produced such books and papers as we desired relating to the
matters referred to us: and that we -lave caused other 1ocuutenlar•
evidence to he produced before es: and that all of the t estimonv
and evidence taken by or before us. as such committee. is reported
herewith.
Upon the hearing before us we were attended by said coroner,
who was represented by counsel; and this committee has also been
advised by counsel th its examination.
The Supervisors' Proceedings.347
After fully and carefully considering the evidence produced be-
fore us and the legal phases of the various questions involved, we
hcrchv report as follows:
hIRST: All the charges contained in said coroner's hill on
acconnt of an alleged inquest on the body of Janes T. P. Moron
as of September 13. Iwo6. are. in our opinion. dearly unjustifiable
and illegal to say the least. The coroner himself stated, under oath,
th:d he had never even viewed The body in this ease nor went Ut the
place of death: but That. having been well acquainted with the de-
ceased for a long time, 'he. merely furnished a death certificate to an
undertaker in'rhis case. Nevertheless on September tyo6. he
filed the following paper tvith the Clerk of Tompkins County as
his decision in this case. to wit:
Sept. 2 1906. Coronet's inquest pertaining to the death of
James T. P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20, 19 °, about 5 p. m.
Residence 226 S. Geneva st. Primary cause of death, paim mart'
asthenia. Secondary cause of death, tuberculosis.
1)r. R. C. \V n.sos. Coroner."
and his verified bill contains the following items:
1906. Sept. 22. Inquest on Janes T. P. Herson. Ithaca. N. Y.
Viewing body 00
Drawing decision 1 o0
Copying decision, t folio 25
Statement to Board pursuant 10 Section 788, Crimi-
nal Code 5o
Mileage, 2 mi.. toe each 20"
f\foreover. his verified statetvent made to the Board. pursuant
to section 788 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is as follows:
Sept. 22, 06. 1 find that the cause. of death nf XIr. Janus T.
P. 1-1erson to be pulmonary asthenia. No money or other property
found on his person.

None of these items charged in con nectioin with this so- cancel
JHerson inquest is a county charge. for the simple reason that no
348 The Supervisors' Proceedings.
inquest or legal inquisition of any sort was held by the coroner;
and all of these items should be stricken out.
SECOND: On three several occasions the coroner procured a
conveyance from the livery to carry him to the place of the alleged
inquest, and has charged the expense thereof to the county in his
bill, the following being the items, viz.:
1906. May 15— Inquest on Garret Venus. Ithaca Town.
Expenses, livery t 30
1906. July 17— Inquest on John Mix.• Dryden, N. Y.
Expen livery 1 5o
1906. Oct. io— Inquest on Daniel A. Thomas, Danby, N .Y.
Expenses, livery 1 50
The fees of coroners are fixed by chapter 833 of the Laws of
1873, as amended, entitled "An act to regulate the fees of coroners,"
and therein it is provided that a coroner "shall be entitled to•re-
ceive the following compensation for services performed: 'Mileage
to the place of inquest and return, ten cents per mile . .
In each of these several cases the coroner's hill contains a charge
for mileage in addition to these livery expenses; and, in the opinion
of your committee, the mileage fee covers all expense for going "to
the place of inquest and return," which is a legal 'charge. These
items, aggregating $4.50, should also he stricken out of the bill.
3
THIRD: The coroner's bill also contains the following item,
viz.:
1906. July 9- Ingnest on Harold Finch, Ithaca, N. Y.
Reducing to writing testimony of wit-
nesses examined in above inquest, filed
with the decision in the office of the
Clerk of the County of Tompkins, 36
folios at 25c. each 9 00"
The Supervisors' Proceedings.349
and it al-so contains the following item of the saute character, viz.:
1906. Aug. 7— lnquest on Bessie 1 aFrance, Ithaca Town.
Reducing to writing testimony of witnesses
examined in above, filed with the decision
in the office of the Clerk of the County of
Tompkins, 130 folios at 25c. each 3 50"
In each of these cases an inquest was held wherein witnesses
were examined—nine witnesses in the Cinch case and fifteen wit-
nes in the La ranee case — whose testimony was taken by a ste-
nographer: and this testimony, as required by section 778 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, was with the inquisition or decision" of
the coroner tiled he him in the office of the County Clerk. In eaca
of these cases the coroner's bill contains a separate charge of one
dollar for `drawing decision,' and also a separate charge of twenty -
five cents for "copying decision. r folio."
By the above mentioned section 778, it is provided that the
testimony of witnesses examined before -the coroner mist he re-
duced to writing by the coroner, or under his direction," and with
the decision filed in the n dice of the clerk. etc. Under the above
mentioned statute. regulating the coronet's fees, lie is "entitled to
receive the following compensation for services performed: draw -
ng decision, one dollar: copying decision for record, per folio,
twenty -five cents: but such officer shall receive pay for one copy
only."
It is part of the duty of a coroner, in holding an inquest, to
cause the testimony of witnesses examined before him to he reduced
to writing, and to file such testimony) and the law gives no addi-
tonal fee for such filing. 'Manifestly the testimony of witnesses is
no part of the duision but it must be filed with the decision.
These two * items, aggregating $0.50, should also be stricken
out of the hill.
411 this connection reference is also made the fact that on
December 27, woo. the Board audited and allowed a bill of H. L.
O'paniel in the stmt of $28.00 for taking and transcribing the testi-
mony in the Lalhance case: and it is this same testimony on account
of which the coroner has made the above mentioned charge of
32.5o for "reducing to writing, testimony of.witnesses, examined,
etc."
350 The Supervisors' Proceedings.
4-
dFOUR'pd In each of 'the foLowin; cases there was undoubt-
edly an appropriate subject - matter for a legal "inquisition" or "in-
q1105i' by the coron viz:
1906. Jan. 29— Inquest on Patience Smith. Ithaca. N. Y.
1906. Feb. lI— Inquest on , Airs. C. Ai. Halts. Ithaca, N. Y.
1906. June 24— Inquest on William F. Chase, Ithaca, N. Y.
1906. Jul' g— Liquest on 11 arold Finch. Ithaca, N. Y.
1906. Aug. 7— Inquest on 'Bessie LrFraace. Ithaca Town.
i Sept. 12- 1nquest on Sarah d3. Harty. Ithaca. N. Y.
1906. Oct. to— Inquest or Daniel A. Thomas. Danbv. N. Y.
qn each of these cases there seems to have been a death caused
by violence or suicide under circumstances which clearly made it
the duty of the coroner to hold an "inquest": told. except as here -
inhefore noted. the items charged in the coroner's bill on account
of each of these in are correct.
As already staled. no inquest tvhats0ever was held in the case
of James '1', P_ Henson.
In each of the remaining fourteen (14) cases of so- celled in-
quests, as set forth in this hill, it appears to your committee that
no "inquisition" or "inquest," within either the letter or the spirit
of the statute. was ever held.
In none of these cases was the coroner informed that the'per-
son had "suddenly died uadt such circumstances as to afford a
reasonable ground to suspect that his death has been occasioned by
the art 0» another by criminal nrfn and at no time, ill connec-
tion with any one of these cases, was there any suggestion made to
the coroner. or any suspicion in his mind. that the death was due
to other than natural causes. This he practically admitted —and in
no instance denied —upon his examination before us.
It seems to us. therefore, that there was no subject - matter for
an "inquisition" or "inquest" for which coroner's fees can properly
be made a county charge, but that. on the contrary. in each case the
coroner only made a preliminary inquiry and atctnally determined
that no "inquisition" or "inquest" was necessary. In none of these
cases was there any '`sworn examination" of all informant or com-
The Supervisors' Proceedings.351
plainant, nor was there any testimony taken by the coroner: nor was
anything else [lone indicative of any judicial inquiry. Run in each
case !Isere had been no 91105:cian in attendance farm [whom the
requisite death certificate could be secured' and it is too obvious
That the coroner was called upon — sometimes by 0 person at the
residence of the deceased and sometimes by an undertaker — simply
to •luain from him a death certificate and save the troulde Of pro-
curing.. "an affidavit stating the circumstances. trine and cause of
death. and sworn to by some credible person known to the officer
granting the permit.` as required fiv section 23 of chapter 6(it of the
Laws of 1393. so as to thereby secure the necessary burial permit.
A/e are of opinion that in each of these, cases the service rendered
by the coroner was not the molding of au "inquest" se- "inquisition.
on account of which the county is chargeable: but was 0 persona[
service rendered for rbose in behalf of whom Ile was sent for. The
County Law seems to contemplate this yery contingency. for aiming
the enumerated cou charges are these_ viz: '
Tine accounts of the coroner of the county for such services
as arc not rhor cnob(c 10 flu' prrsan CM gloving hove. (Section 230,
sub. 1o.)
VVe are confirmed in this view by the informal character of the
so- called "decisions' in these so- called - inquests". none of which
were filed until September 29, 1906 — except in the f awl La-
i/ranee cases —when sixteen were filer) together and, the remaining
four were filed December 3. 1906.
It is manifestly unjust that the comity shall be charged with all
the fees attcndani upon a gamine coroner's inquest whenever a per-
son has suddenly died from natural causes and the coroner is sent
for merely because no physician had been recently in attendance.
This condition of affairs neither did nor could occur when the lam
required an inquest to be held by a coronet c a jury: and we are
safe in saving that in none of these fourteen cases would the coroner
have ventured to impanel a Jury to inquire into the cause of death.
The situation developed by this inquiry seem=_ to require either
drastic nsa=_ures with reference to this particular bill, or some
action, with reference to the future. under section 191 of the
County Law, which authorizes_ the 'Board of !Supervisor to prescribe
a salary for the coroners of this county: but in view of the fact
that this matter should be considered by the Board we merely sub -
alit the facts and our conclusions wiihoat any particular recom --
mendalion.

now, therefore. be it
Resolved, That said report be, and the same hereby is, accepted,
approved and.adopted; and that said committee be discharged from
further consideration of the matter so referred to it; and
Whereas, 11 appears from said report, and from the evidence
submitted therewith, that in the case of James T. P. Herson no in-
quest or legal inquisition of any sort was ever held by the coroner,
and that he never viewed the body of said . Herson, nor went to the
place where it was, and did not even undertake to hold any inquest
or inquisition whatsoever; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved, That the following items contained in said bill, and
each of them „to wit:
1906. Sept. 22— Inquest on 'Janes T. P. Herson, Ithaca, N. Y.

Mileage, 2 mi., roc. each 20”
aggregating the sum of $6.95, be stricken out and disallowed upon
the ground and fo'r the reason, as found by this 'Board, that each
one of them constitutes a fictitious charge; and
Whereas, It also appears from said report, and from the evi.:
dunce submitted therewith, that, in connection with each of the
alleged Venus. Mix and Thomas inquests, the coroner hired some
vehicle to convey himself to the place where the dead person was,
and for this he has charged $1.So in each case, and at the sane time,
in each case, he has also charged his legal fees for "Mileage to the
place of inquest and return, to cents per mile traveled;" now, there-
fore, be it further

1906. Oct. to— Inquest on Daniel A. Thomas, , Danby, N. Y
Expenses, livery t 5
aggregating the sum of $4.5o, 'be stricken out and disallowed upon
the ground and for the reason, as found by this Board, that each one
of these items is a personal expense of said coroner, and, being'in
addition to his mileage as charged, does not constitute a county
charge; and
Whereas, It also appears from said report, and from the evi-
dence submitted therewith, that, in connection with the 'Harold Finch -
inquest, the coroner employed a stenographer to take the testimony r
of witnesses, and certified the bill therefor of said stenographer as
a county charge; and that he filed a copy of this testimony, together
with his decision upon the inquest, in the office of the County Clerk,
and has charged for filing such testimony at the rate of 25 cents per
folio thereof; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved, That the following item contained in said bill, to wit:

as found by this Board, that there is no fee allowed by law for filing
such testimony, but that, on the contrary, it is made the duty of the
coroner to file such testimony with his decision; and

dence submitted therewith that, in connection with the Bessie La- ,
France inquest, the coroner employed a stenographer to take the

nographer as a county charge; and that he'filed n copy of this testi-
mony, together with his decision upon the inquest, in the office of

Reducing to writing testimony of witnesses
examined in above, filed with the decision
in the office of the Clerk of the County of

be stricken out and disallowed upon' the ground and for the reason,
as found by this Board, that there is no fee allowed by law for
filing such testimony, but that, on the contrary. 'it is made the duty
of the coroner to file such testimony with his decision; and
Whereas, It appears from said report, and from the evidence
submitted therewith, that in each of the following thirteen cases of,
so- called inquests, to wit: In the cases of John J. Trench, William
McGrade, Albert H. Holt, Emma G. 'Hart, Mary Schenck, Joseph
Ransolain, Albert J. Calkins, Garret Venus, John Mix, OliverMan-
ning, George W. Miller, 'Isaac H. 'Stevens and Alice A. Mowry, no
inquisition" or "inquest" within either the letter or the spirit of
the statute was ever held; and that in none of these cases was the
coroner informed that the person had "suddenly died under such
circumstances as to afford a reasonable ground to suspect that his
death had been occasioned by the act of another by criminal means ";
and that at no tine, in connection with any one of these cases, was
there any suggestion made to the coroner, or any suspicion in his
mind, that .the death was due to other than natural causes; and that in
none of these cases was there any "sworn examination" of an in-
formant or complainant, nor any testimony taken by the coroner, nor
was anything else done indicative of any judicial inquiry; and that
in each case there had been no physician in attendance from whom
a death certificate could be obtained, and the coroner was called
upon —in some cases by a person at the residence of the deceased
and in some cases by the •ndertaker — simply to furnish a death cer-
tificate; now, therefore, be it further

be stricken out and disallowed upon the ground and for the reason,
as found by this Board, that in each case there was no subject-mat-
ter for an "inquisition" or "inquest," within either the letter or the
spirit of the statute for which coroner's fees can properly be made
a county charge, and that, in each such case no such inquisition or
inquest was actually held, but that, on the contrary, the coroner
only made a preliminary inquiry and actually determined that no
inquisition" or "inquest' was necessary; and
Whereas, It also appears from said report, and from the evi-
dunce submitted therewith, that, in connection with each of the re
maining cases of so- called inquests, to wit: In the cases of Patience
Smith, Mrs. C. M. HuIts, \Villiam d . Chase. Harold. Pinch, Bessie
LaVrance, Sarah .B. 'Harty, Daniel A. Thomas and Gertrude L. Van
Order, either an inquisition or inquest within the letter or the spirit
of the statute was actually held' or else that it does not clearly
appear that there was no proper subject- natter for such an in-
quest, or that the informal action of the coroner may not have con-
stituted such an inquest; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved. That the following items contained in said bill, and
each one of them to wit :
1906. Jan. 29— Inquest on Patience Sntith, T th aca, N. Y.

VVherea c, It appears that, be a recent amendment to the coro-
ner's fee bill. each coroner is entitled to "receive for each and every
day and fractional hart thereof spent in taking an inquisition, three
dollars "; and it also appears from said bill of Roscoe C. Wilson
that he has inadvertently omitted to charge this fee in each of the
following five cases of inquests, to wit: In the cases of •Patience
Smith, Mrs. C. M. I--Iults, iWrilliam F. Chase, Sarah B. i-Iarty and
Daniel A. Thomas, on account of which his bill, as rendered and
adjusted, is hereby allowed; and
Whereas, This JBoard is of the opinion that said Roscoe C. Wil-
son should receive for his services as coroner each and every fee to
which he is. entitled by law or as to which there may be serious
doubt of its legality, even though he may have unadvisedly omitted
it from his bill; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved. That the following items be added to said bill. to wit:
Inquest on Patience Smith, for one day spent in taking
inquisition 3 00
Inquest on Mrs. C. M. Hults, for one day spent in taking

And Whereas, On January '22, 1907, on being examined before
a special committee of the Board of Supervisors appointed to ex-
amine into the legality of each and every item contained in his said
account; said coroner, .Dr. Roscoe C. Wilson, testified as follows
w'th reference to the above mentioned items:
Q. I call your attention to the item Sept. 22, 1906, inquest on
James T. P. -Herson, Ithaca, N. Y. How was the fact of his death
called to your attention?
A. Undertaker told me, I think.
Q. Who was the undertaker?
A. Shea.
Q. Are you sure of that, doctor?
A. T am pretty sure.
Q. T have been informed that he was not...
A. T would not say positively. That was my impression. It
was an undertaker. whoever it was. I do not know whether it was
he or Comings. 'He had a good many Catholics.
Q. What did you do then?
The Supervisors' Proceedings.363
A. In that case when they came to me I told them I was going
to leave town right away and would not have time to go down
there, and they said they did not think there would be •time to get
another coroner here, and he asked me if I would not issue a'death
certificate.
Q. The undertaker did?
A. Yes. I did not go down and see that. He said they might
possibly have to postpone the •funeral if it was not issued, and I
issued the certificate.
Q. The only information you got was from the undertaker?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you learn from him that this man had been ill for some
time?
A. Yes; he said he had had tuberculosis for some time, hem-
orrhages.
Q. So you did not go to the house at all?
A. No; did not go to the house at all.
Q. 'I notice the next item on your bill under head of Sept. 22
is, viewed body, $5.00. You did not view the body in that case?
A: No/sir. T consider under the circumstances that it is per-
fectly right for. me to issue the certificate and put in proceedings..
Q. ,You also 'have an item of mileage, two miles toc., or'2oc.
A. Yes.
Q. There was no mileage whatsoever, was there?
A. Not in that case.
Q. You made an entry with reference to the case on your
coroner's book, did you ?
A. Yes.
Q. Will you please read?
364 The Supervisors' Proceedings.
A. Sept. 22. James T. P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20,
o6, 5 P. M. Residence 226 S. Geneva street. Primary cause of
death pulmonary asthenia. Secondary cause of death. tuberculosis.
Q. Now what is the form of the death certificate that you
give to the undertaker ? Is it in that form ?
Yes. • It just gives the primary and secondary causes of
death and time of death.
Q. I show you paper. Was that the paper filed in the Clerk's
office in connection with Herson's death?
A. It is."
Paper marked Exhibit 0, and was read as follows:
Sept. 22, tgo6. Coroner's inquest pertaining to the death of
James T. 'P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20, 5906, about 5 P. M.
Residence 226 S. Geneva street. Primary cause of death, pulmonary
asthenia. Secondary cause of death, tuberculosis.
Dr. R. C. WILSON, Coroner."
Q. What is 'asthenia'?
A. It means a general weakness and giving out.
Q. So that cardiac asthenia translated into our language would
be heart failure?
A. Yes.
Q. In the case of Herson, is not the death certificate you gave
to the undertaker practically the same as this paper which has been
read?
A. Practically.
Q. Is there any difference?
A. None that I know of.
Q. Simply states the cause of the death and the age of the
person?
A. Yes.
Thu Supervisors' Proceedings.365
Q. Is that true of all these cases which I have referred to?
A. All these cases, yes.
Q. This paper that I have shown you is the paper which you
call die decision in your bill ?
A. Yes.
Q. And you filed it in the Clerk's office?
A. Yes.
Q. It might be inf cresting to know upon what theory you
charge for mileage when you had not gone at all?
A. Simpiy that I considered that of it had been so I could I
would have gone down there and viewed the body, and the mileage
would have gone in just the same, fraction of a mile. I considered
it just the same. as an accommodation to them."
And AWhereas. .Notwithstanding the fact that no inquest what-
soever was held with reference to the body of said • James T. P.
Herson, nevertheless said items hereinbefore mentioned were in-
eluded by the said coroner, Roscoe C. Wilson, in his verified bill,
and presented for audit and allowance to the Board of Supervisors,
as aforesaid; and
Whereas, It is provided by Section 672 of the Penal Code that
A person whn knowingly, with intent to defraud, presents for
audit or allowance, or for payment, tb any officer or board of offi -•
cers of the State, or of any county, town, city or village, authorized
to audit, or allow, or to pay hills, claims or charges, any false or
fraudulent claim, bill, account, 'writing or voucher, or any bill, ac-
count or demand, containing false or fraudulent charges, items or
claims, is guilty of a felony."
And Whereas. Tt also appears that the statements made with
reference to the said •items, and contained in said Roscoe C. Wil-
son's affidavit of verification to said bill are not true; now, there-
fore, be it
366 The Supervisors' Proceedings.
Resolved, That this matter be called to the attention of, and
