BOARD MAY APPROPRIATE
FOR A COUNTY EXHIBIT
Commissioners Empowered to Appro-
pirate Any Part of $500 Exhibit
at State Fair.

A question has been raised as to
whether the board of county com.
missioners has the right to appropri
ate money for the purpose of max
ing county exhibit at the state
fair, and there has been a contro.
versy over this proposition for several
years past. In order to fully
legalize such an act on the part OF
the commissioners, the late legisla.
ture adopted a law which covers the
matter, and which is as follows:
AN act to amend section one Il OF
chapter.99, General Laws of 1907,
relating to appropriation of money
by counties to be used for the pur.
pose of maintaining an exhibit at
the state fair.
Be it enacted by the legislature OF
the State of Minnesota:
Section 1. That section 1 OF
chapter 80. General Laws of 1907,
be. and the same hereby is amended
so as to read as follows:
Section 1. The board of county
commissioners of any county in the
state is hereby authorized and EN-.
powered to appropriate out of the
general revenue fund of said
county, such sum of money, not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars ($5OO..
OO) annually, as they may deem ad-
visable for the purpose of assisting
to maintain an exhibit of the pro-
ducts of said county at the Mime
sofa state fair.
Sect. 2. This act shall take
effect and be in force from and
after it's passage.
Approved Feb. rs, 1902"
Under the provisions of this law,
the board may appropriate any
part of the sum Of $500 for a county
exhibit at the state fair.
w. R. Mackenzie, of the Beltrami
County Agricultural associa ton, has
asked the Beltrami county board
for small appropriation, that the
county fair people may make an
exhibit at Hamline this fall, in
connection with Clearwater county,
the latter county having already
appropriated the sum of $3.50 for
Mr.. Mackenzie's use, the latter
having agreed to take charge of
their exhibit.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE
BOND ISSUE?

We have no apologies 10 make for
continued discussion OF the proposed
bond issue for permanent road build
ing In CORTLAND and Chancellor dis
tricts OF Spotsylvania county. Is il
she most important matter con-
fronting any people OF this entire
section today and not only Spotsyl-
vanis. but this city and section, is
snxiously waiting the result OF the
voting so had on May 18th. We re-
gard it as unfortunate that so many
vOyers In the county should have
failed TO pay their poll taxes when
they were by law due, viz. in the fall
OF 1908, since the bond election must
be held under the "Ward law" and
consequently only those can vote
who paid on or before Dec. 18th, 1905,
but we trust that those voters who
did qualify themselves will realize
what defeat OF this proposition will
mean so the county and go TO she
polls with the determination TO vote
for progress and prosperity, which
are both more or less dependent on
She building OF good roads. We have
set out more than once the TACT that
there Is no earthly way by which she
people OF Livingston and Berkely
districts can be required to pay one
cent of the bond issue, the law ex-
pressly guarding against this by the
following provision: should for any
reason the county in any way have
TO assume any payment on account
OF said bond issue, either interest OF
principal, 1t is hereby provided that
the board OF supervisors shall levy
such tax on said msgIsterial district
as may be necessary 30 defray the
amount assumed by the county.
There are other provisions amply
guarding the taxpayers OF the dis
tricts other than those for which she
bonds are issued. Under this state
OF facts It passes our comprehension
how any man living In Berkely or
Livingston can make up his mind TO
vote against she bond issue, when he
pays none OF she cost and yet has
the privilege OF travelling, free OF
charge, over the improved roads. II
these two upper districts vote topre-
vent the two lower once from build
ing good roads, provided she voters
In the last named desire to do so,
then they will prove themselves
blind to their own interests and 10
that OF the county. We cannot be
lieye they will take any such foolish
stand. The sentiment In she lower
districts seems decidedly favorable
so the issue and We are led TO hope
that the long campaign this news
paper has been making for better
roads In this section will bear fruit
on May 18th.
We would not so earnestly urge
she people OF Spotsylvsnia to vote
these bonds unless we were thorough
ly convinced shat there are one hun
dred reasons why they should do so,
against one why they should not III
you men OF Spotsylvania vote this
proposition down, you will have
dealt your county a body blow,
from which il will be long in recover
ing. By your votes on May 18th
you can stamp Spotsylvania as pro-
gressive or non-progressive. Which
win you do?
