Outside of New England, county boards usually have some limited police power. In the Southern and far Western states they frequently license and reg- ulate inns, taverns, liquor saloons, auctioneers, ped- dlers and other kinds of business. In some of the Central states the licensing of the liquor traffic is still in the hands of the county board. In Pennsylvania, however, the old licensing powers of the justices are now exercised by the single salaried judge who holds criminal court under the o...ld title of quarter sessions. In some states county boards are authorized to offer bounties for the destruction of wild animals or noxious weeds ; and in some they may regulate fishing. These are almost the only powers of legislation, as distinct from financial authority, possessed by these county boards. In several states the constitutions authorize the legislatures to confer local legislative 90 THE COUNTY BOARD power on the county boards ; but the custom of special acts by the legislatures seems, to be too firmly estab- lished to allow of any important delegation of power.
