Syllabus

<p>The Board of Supervisors of a County cannot settle with the County Treasurer at a special meeting of such Board, unless they have first given public notice of such meeting, and specified in such notice that such business will be transacted.</p> <p>In order to give the amplest opportunity to the District Attorney, or citizens who desire to do so, to contest the allowance of improper demands against the Public Treasury, the business of the Supervisors is required to be transacted at the regular meetings required by law; or if at special meetings, public notice must be given of the business to be so transacted; and unless such notice be given, the acts of the Supervisors are a nullity.</p>
