COUNTY BOARD ACTING
ON ROUTINE BUSINESS
Resciad Action as to Employing Private
Counsel. Considering Road Peti-
tions. Adjournment Near.

The session of the board of
county commissioners which has
been held during the past three
days has been one Of the most
strenuous meetings in the history
of the board.
The meeting has been inter-
spersed with some oratorical
pyrotechnics and repartee, with
some very plain talk by Attorney
General Simpson and reconsidera :
ton of some acts of the board,
together with the laying down of
iron-clad procedure for the board
to follow at its meetings.
An assistant county attorney has
been given to the county by the
attorney general, free of charge,
and he will assist County Attor-
ney McKusick.
After the attorney general had
concluded his remarks as reported
in the Pioneer of yesterday, the
board got down to its routine busi-
ness yesterday afternoon.
. S. F. Alderman OF Brainerd ap-
peared before the board and sug-
gested that the board reconsider its
action of the last meeting, when a
refusal was given the Pine Tree
Lumber company to reduce their
assessed valuation in this county.
The board took no action in the
matter. .-
The board rejected both bids that
were submitted to repair the court
house fence and directed the auditor
to readvertise for new bids, with
different specifications, the bidders
to figure on using the material at
hand, in so far as possible. The
board recommended to the tax league
that the application Of G.. Crone for
an abatement of taxes be allowed.
The application of Will Ford for
license to sell Intoxicating liquors at
Clementson was allowed and his
bond approved.
The board set July 18th as the
date for a hearing on the application
for road from R. M. Kingsley and
others, road to start sw corner of
sec. 5-146-32 W. ....
The board adopted a resolution
requesting the public to examine and
andit the books of account of the In
depent School District of Bemidji
and make report of such examina-
ton to the county board. Il.
At the meeting held this morning,
the board adopted resolution to
employ E. E. Mcdonald of Bemidji
and George E. Ericsson of Spooner
as attorneys for the county to make
settlement with Clearwater county
and represent Bel,rami county in the
suit now pending against Clear
water and to institute such action as
they deemed necessary.
Attorney General Simpson was
present and informed the board that,
in his opinion, considering the con-
dition that the case referred to was
now in, the county board had no
legal right to engage Messrs. Nc
Donald and Ericsson, and the reso-
luton was rescinded.
James Martin was engaged to act
as janitor for the summer school, at
a salary of $40 per month.
The board authorized the county
auditor to publish in the official
paper the notice requested by the
state fire warden relative to preven.
ton and suppression of forest fires.
When the board adjourned this
noon, it was thought the meeting
would be concluded some time this
afternoon.
