The special committee to consider the
advisabiilty of establishing wool market
IN jamestown made the following report:
In regard to the advisability of estab-
fishing wool market at jamestown in
accordance with the provisions of an act
passed by the last Legislative assembly,
entitled IAN act to provide facilities for
marketing WOOL" your committee would
report as follows:
We find that said act provides IN brief.
that whenever any city of this state shall
furnish building capable of holding
100000 pounds of wool in which free
storage of wool may be had for two
months, the city clerk of said city shall
notify the commissioner of agriculture Of
the fact, before May 1st, and shall also
notify him of the regulations established
for the conduct of such wool market and
the probable quantity of wool that will
be marketed at such city during tho
year. This act would seem to make it
incumbent upon the city to only furnish
building-leaviDg the management of
said building to the wool growers of the
county. At all events your committee
would deem it unwise for the city of
jamestown to assume any control or
management of said wool market or in
any way put itself IN a position to be
held liable, as wareh. useMen Tor loss by
fire, theft, spelling or in any other way;
and in order to be free from such liability
your committee deem it advisable that
the management of said wool market be
left entirely with the citizens of James.
town in accordance with the terms OF an
ordinances herewith submitted for your
consideration.
In regard to building, your commit:
tee find that the city can obtain free OF
rent, the building situate on lot l, block
81 Of the original plat Of this city, known
as the old Variety building and your
committee would recommend that writ
ten lease Of the same be taken running
to the 1st day Of January, 1892, and that
said building be established as the wool
market building of the city Of Jamestown,
North Dakota; and further that such re-
pairs to said building as may be abeo-
lutely necessary be made at the expense
Of the city.
Your committee are informed that the
probable quantity of wool to be market.
ed here this season will be about 3OO,O
pounds and your committee would rec
ommend that as soon as the citizens Of
this city shall have submitted to this
council the rules and regulations by
which they propose to conduct SAID wool
market, and this council shall have ap-
proved Of such rules and regulations,
then the city clerk shall notify the COM
missioner of agriculture of the facts as
provided for in said legislative act. We
submit herewith an ordinance for your
consideration.
