The Republicans of North Hempstead Put Themselves on Record

New York, 1895

The Republican committee of the town of North Hempstead met on Saturday night, and, after indorsing Joseph E. Firth for clerk of the board of Supervisors, unanimously passed the following resolution:

Whereas, There is now pending in the state legislature a bill introduced by Mr. Vacheron and known as "An act in relation to the powers and to the appointment and the duties of commissioner of jurors in the county of Queens," which has passed the Assembly, and is now awaiting action by the Senate; and

Whereas, the board of Supervisors, recognizing the fact that the creating of another office in this county at a comparatively heavy cost to the taxpayers is contrary to the economical policy adopted by the board, has expressed itself in opposition to the bill; therefore

Resolved, That this committee, as the representatives of the Republican party in the town of North Hempstead, hereby indorse the action of Supervisor Augustus Denton, and his colleagues in the board, and request that all honorable means be resorted to in the effort to defeat this bill.
