FAVOR DIVISION

The board of county commissioners of
Stanley county, the largest county in
the state, had at their regular meeting
July S, three petitions for the division
of the county for their consideration.
One called for the separation of all that
part of the county west of the sixth
guide meridian, and the creation of
Iowa county, subject to the decision of
the voters in the November election.
Another asked for the submission Of
question that will mean the restoration
of old Sterling county, now the north
western part of Stanley county. Yet
another calls for the restoration of old
jackson county, which now comprises
the southwestern part of the county,
south of the base of the line.
The three petitions present COM
plex question. The laws of the state
do not provide for the handling by a
board of commissioners of petitions as
| contrary as these. for the success of all
three movements would mean that the
proposed Iowa county would be cut into
three parts. The petitions are evidence
that the majority of the voters prefer
the creation of but one new county.
the Iowa county supporters having Sc
cured some five hundred more sigma
lures than have the other two COM
bined.
There are many that claim that the
time is not yet ripe for division of any
kind. This is fallacy, for the present
Stanley county officials and others ac-
quainted with the true situation know
that, if division is not effected this
year, the voters will have to, within a
few months, give sanction to a bond
issue for the building of large addi-
ton to the county building at Fort
Pierre. Stanley county is of unwieldly
size, and it's business is of such large
proportions that more room will posi-
lively be necessary within the near
future.
