Gentlemen: We, your committee,
appoint to make an investigation In
regard to the county pest house stu
ate in the city Of Minot and Kenmare.
beg leave to report as follows: The
county pest house in the city of Mi
not has caused the county considerable
expense in the past on account OF
having to replace at different times.
articles of furniture, cooking utensils,
etc., which have been stolen and II
Ward county continues to provide a
suitable pest house properly furnish
ed, the cost is likely to increase IL
The future and will be hard to regu
late.
The county is not required by Law

reasonable rent. We can find no
good reason for keeping up pes
house in the city of Kenmare and as
the one we now own is a poor build
,g standing on private property and
worth only about $4,000 we recon-
mend that it be sold. Ward county
is now indebted to Mr.. w. F. Nelder-
riterfor ground rent for the past SIX
years and as he has already offered 10
take the building for ground rent
which we consider very reasonable
offer. therefore we recommend tnae
his offer be accepted and tnat uue
building be disposed OF to MN upon
proper receipt for rent.
Respectfully submitted,
