BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE
OPPOSE COUNTY DIVISION
Legislature Leaders Ask That Quay County Give Up Two
Tiers Of Townships for the New County
Citizens Of the Concerned Sections Are Divided Grady
Will Lead Opposition

In response to a call, the busi.
ness mems league OF this city met
IN the court house last Wednesday
afternoon and discussed the pro-
lect oi the creation OF a new county.
The discussion was brought about
bv bill which is now pending in
the territorial legislature, provid.
lng that a new county, TO bear the
name OF Curry, be formed out OF
the two southern tiers OF townships
OF this county and portion OF
Roosevelt county.
So far, no steps have been taken
by the Legislature to pass the bill
and 1t is understood that the lead.
ers will not allow it to pass unless
the people OF Quay county are
willing. At the same time, how
ever, they ask the people to agree
20 a division IN consideration OF
numerous other things.
The question was thoroughly
discussed, with quite a display OF
debate, and at length motion was
passed, with some opposition, to
the feet that the business mems
league OF this city dorS not favor
any division oi the county.
\ committee OF five was appoint
ed 10 write 10 the governor and
legis latlve hons at Ssrta Re and
notify them OF the action OF the
league.
The people in the townships in.
cluded in the proposed county are
divided somewhat on the PROPOSE
ton. MANY OF them are highly
in favor OF II and many places have
been proposed for the county seat.
Grady seems to lead the rest OF
the towns in opposition TO the bill.
Other persons, in the concerned
districts, declare that they will
always oppose being cut off from
this county.
IL is understood that the people
OF Roosevelt county are divided on
the proposition very much as the
people OF this county are and that
several OF the towns oil Roosevelt,
which will tall inside the new
boundrles are also looking forward
to the time when they will be county
