WITNESS FUIiS IFOH 1'OLICKMK.V. County Commlnilonern Drclile an a > 'ew IK-id. At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners , the following resolution wa offered by Commissioner Hector , and adopted iy a unanimous vote : Whereas , The supreme court recently decided that police officers of metropolitan cities should be allowed witness fees In cases where they appear und glvo testi mony : and , Whereas , It Is apparent that unless proper safeguards are thrown around the treasury this may lead to grave abuses and great expense to t'no taxpayers ; therefore , be It Resolved , That In cases arising In police court , where the defendant does not waive examination , the names of only such olllcois shall be put on the transcript as witnesses as shall give material testimony at the trial. In cases where examination Is waived , the clerk of t'ne police court Is respectfully requested to ascertain the names of ollloers whn bave knowled.se of the facts , und p'.nco such names on the transcript , at the t > nme time , guarding against a mirplussage of witnesses , to the end that unnecessary ex pense to the taxpayers of this city and county bo not Incurred. Reso'ved , That a copy of this resolution bo furnlsihed the county attorney and the clerk of the i > ollce court. The commlsilone s contend that here o o-o it bas teem the ciutom of the police officials to have numerous names placed on Hie police court transcript , thus running up large ex- ncnse bilk" . They say that there are Instances where halt a dozen police officers have becu called to prove the same state of facts , when one or two witnesses at the most would have been BUlflclent to have furnlahcd the re quired proofs. . When called la district court an witnesses , police officers receive fees of $2 per day catti. These fees during the past year and since the decision of the supreme court , the com missioners say , aggregate hundreds of dollars lars of expense that should never have been Incurred , and that If the stamp of condem nation Is not placed upon the pratclce , will continue to grow with each succeeding term of the dlotrlct couvt. The county clerk's statement for tno fir ft quarter of 1898 showed receipts aggregating 1842.30 and disbursements , $070.20. The report of the 'register of deeds for the first quarter of 1898 showed collections of $2,207 , and disbursements oj $1,916.25. The county Judge's quarterly rerort tor the first quarter of 189S showed collections of $1,752.63 , and disbursements of $1,522.27. County Treasurer Helmrod asked for an additional clerk to work on the delinquent tax Hat. The request was referred. The contract and bond of the Iowa Brick company waa presented and approved. This Is the company that has the contract for paving the extensions of Dodge and Center atreeto. Numerous applications for positions at the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition were received and placed on file , to bo considered at a later date. The monthly report ot Superintendent Wright at the county hospital showed 149 Inmatca. Of these tblrty-soven are Insane , 112 paupers and the balance parties who are partially able to pay for their maintenance. Two Inmatca died during the month. G. S. Ambler was named as an Inspector on the Center , street aod R. P. Dahlman as an Inspector on the Dodge-etreet roads , at $4 per day , each , whllo actually employed. The men will go to work when paving begins. Notes In the p06658'00 ' o ! Treasurer Holm- rod , aggregating $24,371 , and growing out of the poor farm lot sale , were ordered delivered to the county clerk. The notes are regarded aa worthlfeo. The next meeting of the board will be bold Tuesday morning. ST. JOSEPH'S JUBILEE AFFAIR. Omalia Aitkctl to Take Part In tlic CoiningCelebration. . H. F.
