Commissioner Gus Anderson of the
first. district was down from Belfeld this
week on county matters. Since his
appointment as d member of the board
of county commissioners he has ar
RANGED for three bridges for his district
and he has in mind one or two more
that are much needed. His territory is
in a section of the county which has
been developing very rapidly the last
two or three years and a great amount
of new work has become necessary all
at once on account of the great influx of
settlers, and, besides, he has only been
commissioner a few months. Mr..
Anderson has lived in the country for
about % years and those who know him
know that he is a good manager and
that he will give county matters the
same careful attention that he does his
personal affairs. He is a candidate for
nomination at the polls on June %
when his many friends will have a
chance to show their appreciation of his
services.
The county commissioners allowed a
few bills at their meeting this week,
granted road petitions, etc.. and adj
journed until July S when the quarterly
meeting will be held. The board had
quite a number of important road and
bridge matters to look after. A drive
was made to Green river where. with
one exception. they had no trouble in
securing the needed right-of-way for the
road leading to the new Dunn county
bridge. A Mrs. Seitz seemed to think
that she would not sign any easement
for a road, but it is presumed that she
will think better of the matter and work
with the board, as other owners have
done. otherwise it will be necessary to
proceed according to law and. condemn
the property. An amicable settlement
is always the best for all parties con-
cerned.
A substantial German resident of
South Dickinson made the statement
this week that the voters of his ward
were going to stand by D. W Mckenzie
for county commissioner. This mar
reasoned that Mr.. McKenzie's experience
the past four years had been worth q
good deal. that he wal careful and
economical and was only too glad at all
times to work with the other members
Of the board in getting good roads.
Formerly when the district in which
Dickinson is located comprised all Of
the west end and very nearly half of the
entire county, it was q hard matter for
a man to get what would seem to belong
to his territory. Now that the districts
are equally divided it will be a very
different matter. The German people,
the same as the other people Of Dick.
inson. prefer to have 9 nan Of the
board from their own city. which il
