Reform and retrenchment urged by Belmont Farmers' Club
In Belmont, December 1890, farmer Litchard and colleagues from the Farmers' Club addressed the Supervisors. They urged action on the halfshire fraud and warned that without reform the county would elect a reform Board next spring. They criticized salaries as boss and folly while supporting the clerk keeping his office. Bartlett and Middaugh backed ending the halfshire fraud and easing taxpayers’ burden. The committee impressed the Board and conveyed their demands.
