and dispensed good deal Of
business.
A petition was presented, signed by
q number OF the voters OF Flensburg,
asking that certain territory in the
towns of Pike Creek and Culdrum, be
incorporated into a village. The
number of people in this territory was
a few more than sufficient for
organization. A petition of re-
was also filed, a number
being signers on the petition asking
for incorporation, who, on second
thought, figured that under the new
condition taxes to them would be-
higher. Under the present conditions
it is impossible to conduct saloon in.
Flensburg, on account of the nearness
of the school, and this, together with
added shipping facilities, as with an
incorporated village depot would
have to be maintained, is, we under
stand, the reason given that number
of the citizens wished an incorpora-
tion. The petition was denied by a
vote OF three to two. jacobson. Herum
and Lakin voting nay and Rocheleau
and Vernig yea.
At the evening session Monday the
selection of janitor for the coming
year was taken up. and the efficient
custodian, A. F. Kerich, was re-
elected. A. F. Kerlch received three
votes and q. &. Samuelson two. This
was IN measure surprise to many,
as 1t was pretty much thought that
this little matter was arranged
satisfactorily at the time of the
selection of a register of deeds.

Creek Is to put the road bed IN con-
dltlon to receive the rock. The COM
mlssloners will allow the money given

which is one third of the cost. As
it is necessary to file plat and profile

way commission before the rock will
be given, Superintendent of Roads
