County Board Proceedings Abate Taxes and Allocate Funds
On Friday April 6 1900 the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors reviewed bridge petitions from multiple townships including Penn Chester Black Hawk Polk Lockridge and Des Moines. They denied a 400 request for a horse barn at the County Fair Grounds and ordered tax abatements for several residents and properties due to inability to contribute and excessive valuation. They authorized pauper relief and transferred city fines to the appropriate fund and approved warrants and per diem for board members. Minutes were read and approved and the board adjourned to April 28 1900.

Catching Smelts In Ice Tent Fisheries
The Bangor Commercial notes smelt fishing done from ice tents six by five feet, heated and lit, with lines kept in motion. A worker can haul 100 pounds in under an hour, and some catch 560 pounds per tide, earning from 25 to 200 dollars in weeks, but beginners risk starving their first winter.
