The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-09-03

did not know that the meeting was
held until l read the account in the
paper. The commissioners simply
acted on the suggestion of the rail-
road attorney and called but three
members to save expenses. The ses-
sion, without doubt, is illegal. The
statute states specifically, that every
member of the board must be noti-
| fled if special meeting is held. If
the members of the board were not
notified the approval of the 500 plat
is void. The proposition will proba-
I bly, be settled at the September ses-
sion of the commissions. They will
approve the plat again so as to, settle
anv question"
Yet, in the face of this interview
in which Mr. Crever declares this
meeting illegal, he places his official
o. K. upon it in the official report.
Further, this official report, APP
proved by Auditor Crever, gives the
name of the commissioner who made
the motion and of the one who Sec
onded it. In the official proceedings
of the session at which the county
printing was. awarded last January
which The Herald reproduced ver-
batim last week the names of those
who made motions and of those who
seconded them Sare omitted The
question naturally arises as to why
they should be given in one, case and
omitted in another. - - ~
