Special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN. Feb. 1.-Pursuant to a
call issued by Secretary Schlosser, a
special meeting of the Dakota Press
association was held in this city this
week to consider the question of rates
OH legal printing. Several bills have
been introduced in the legislature to
lower the rates on legal publications.
also for the foreclosure of mortgages
exclusively by posting notices. The
following
RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED:
Whereas, Certain bills have been in
troduced in the Dakota legislature look
ing toward the repeal of the present
law governing legal rates of puDlica-
ton, and
Whereas, Two years ago the legal
rate was reduced to its present extreme
iy low limit at the request of the Da-
kota Press association, in order that the
rate would be more equitable for the
client while enabling the publisher to
obtain full legal rates, and
Whereas, the legal rate in Minnesota
is the same as in Dakota: that in Iowa
is 25 cents per square of ten lines of
BREWER higher for first insertion than
in Dakota. and in other neighhoring
states and territories the rate is still
higher, with no attempt toward reduc-
ton: and
Whereas, An examination of the rec
OrdS of several counties has revealed the.
fact that 10 more than five out of $50
foreclosures of real estate mortgages are
redeemed, thus showing that only in
rare instances does the cost of publca-
ton fall on the mOrtgaUpr. and
Whereas, By legislative enactment
the proceedings of county commission
erS are published for the information of
the taxpayers. thus showing how much
more important is the publication of the
laws of the entire territory; and
Whereas, The present mode of pub
fishing insurance statements, in but one
paper in each judicial district, is I'M
satisfactory and valueleSs; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Dakota Press as
ISOLATION recommends to the honorable
legislature of the territory of Dakota
that the present law governing legal
rates and the publication of commits
sioners' proceedings remain unchanged.
Resolved, TIL insurance statements
should be published in one paper in each
county.
Resolved, That the session laws passed
by the legislature should be published
i'll the legal papers Of the territory as
soon after the adjournment of the legiS-
| lature as possible.
Resolved, That the bill now before
| the legislature requiring all foreclosures
! to be begun by action instead of by ad :
| vertisement will work hardship to bot b
mortgageor and mortgage, by making
| foreclosures higher, and necessitating
| the employing Of attorneys in all fore
| closure cases, and that all equities can
be saved othe mortgageors by giving
| the borrower the right to injunction
without surety for cost. Respectfully
submitted. JOHN FL. DRAKE,
