Resolution introduced by Commissioner T..
O. sibley., seconded by Commissioners John
McDougal aid:
LEGATION known as the Beltrami County News
have submitted to this board bid forcertain
public printing for the year 1904. and
Whereas. the said publication is of such a
character that no decent citizen would take
it into his houseor permit his wife or chill
dren to read or see the same. and
Whereas. in the opinion Of this board the
said publication consists almost entirely OF
false, scandalous. indecent and libelous at
tacks upon all reputable citizens OF this com
munity who will not be party to the
schemes Of its publishers. and
Whereas. the said publication has so little
circulation among the reputable citizens and
Taxpayers of this county. that in the opinion
of this board it has practically no value as a
medium for the purpose Of getting informa-
tion before the public. and that the best in
terests Of the public require that the public
printing be awarded to some paper that can
safely be taken into the homes OF the citizens
of the community. and that has some circula-
ton among decent people. therefore it is
Resolved. that the bid or bids of the said
public alton. the Beltrami County News. be
and the same are hereby rejected.
On motion the board adjourned to meet at
10 o'clock a. m.
