fore the state board.
Governor johnson at first refused,
saying that he could not answer for

tion
After conferring with Mr. Kellogg
for some time, however, Governor
Johnson finally agreed that If the min
ing companies would accept a figure Of

named by Governor Johnson, although
il was somewhat higher than he had
first advanced
There is little doubt that the county
board will be satisfied with the amount
agreed upon. A raise Of 5s per cent
