Can This Be from the iierald2

Referring to House Bill No. POI,
introduced by Representative Streeter,
requiring two copies OF each issue Of
every official newspaper in the state
to be sent to the historical society In
Bismarck, the Grand Forks Herald
says:
''There ought to be an Official record
Of all the publications, and it can be Sc
cured In no other way. II a law Of
this kind had been in existence In the
past, u great deal OF confusion would
have been saved people who have
had occasion to look up the publica-
tion Of legal notices after files Of
papers in which they appeared had
been destroyed"
Regarding the same bill, the Herald
further says:
''The new bill ON the legal qualitica.
tiOns Of newspapers has been signed
by the governor. One OF its main
features is that at least one page Of
the paper must be printed at the
place where the paper is dated. This
was regarded as only fair to eStab'
lislled papers. A community not large
enough to support a printing plant
is not entitled to legal paper print
ed elsewhere"
