ton, held at the house of Elias Smith in said Town, on Tuesday, the 3d day of April, 1866, the following resolu- tions were passed and Town officers elected :
Supervisor, Martin Willetts. President of Trustees, Brewster Conklin. Trustees, Elias Baylis, Stephen K. Gould, Jesse Conklin, Thomas Ireland, Gilbert Carll, Richard Sammis. Justice of the Peace, Joshua Hartt. Assessor, Noah Seaman. Overseers of Poor, Timothy S. Carll, Hiram V. Baylis. Town Clerk, Stephen C. Rogers. Collector, Gideon Seaman. Commissioner of Highways, Henry G. Scudder. Constables, Henry Tilden, Samuel Smith, Wm. Bunce, Alex. Sammis. Town Sealer, Isaac VanAusdall. Pound Masters, Henry Tilden, Charles E. Ketcham.
Resolved, That the sum of seven thousand dollars be raised for the support of the poor and eight hundred dollars for contingent expenses.
The following communication was read and action taken thereon :
To C. A. FLOYD, Supervisor of Huntington :
We, the undersigned, having been this day appointed at a numerous public meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Southold, a committee to confer with the other Towns in the County on the subject of a County Poor House, would respectfully suggest that the Supervisor in each Town submit the matter to the people in Annual Town Meeting assembled. It is believed that the substitution of a County House for the local Town Poor Houses would lessen the expense of the support of the paupers and at the same time render them more comfortable, especially so in cases of lunacy.
If the sense of the people could be reached through a vote at the approaching Town Meeting and a statement of the result prepared and submitted to the Board of Supervisors at their Annual Meeting, they would be

Southold, March 26, 1866.
Committee
F. H. OVERTON, B. H. BOOTH, HENRY HUNTTING, J. WICKHAM CASE.
Resolved, That a committee of one from each election district be appointed to confer with the Supervisor and that the Supervisor be requested to confer with the Board of Supervisors at a future meeting, and that the Town Auditors appoint said committee, and that two of the said four committee be from each of the two political parties.
Pursuant to the last resolution, the Board of Auditors appointed George H. White, Henry S. Sammis, Charles A. Floyd and John Robbins.
