90. 1910, \. M.-The Blue Earth
board OF county commissioners met as
adjourned. All members were pres
ent.
A petition addressed to the South
Bend town board was received. 1t asks
for the opening of certain streets al
legged to have been closed in the town
site of LeHillier The board directed
that it be referred to County Attorney
Plymat. 1t was so referred, and the
county attorneys opinion given that
the county board could do nothing and
to return the petition to the signers.
This was done.
The commissioners gave to Judge
Hughes, on account of a twelve year
term of service as judge of probate,
the chair he has used during this term.
City bill of $1,000 was presented.
This was for st. Joseph's hospital care
and keep of typhoid fever patients in
1908. After carefully examining the
same and listening to the talk by city
attorney, J. w. Schmitt, the board on
motion to reject the BILL which car
ried, unanimously voted to reject it.
Petition was received, signed by
Gunder Gilberts, asking to be set off
from school district No, Il, to 50. The
petition was read, considered and date
of hearing made Tuesday, December
q, 1910, 2 p. m.
A motion to allow no more than
SIS for physicians service in coroner's
inquest cases in future was unani-
mously agreed to.
Inasmuch as it is now the intention
of the board of county commissioners
to build bridge at the Red Jacket
site in the near future, it is expected
that liberal subscription will be made
toward it, as the bridge will cost about
$4,000. 1t is therefore suggested that
such subscription lists be started soon
as the sooner sufficient sum is real
lied so much sooner will the project
60 forward.
Whereas an overhead bridge is pro.
the G. NJ. & ST. Paul track, one mile
this side of Rapidan station, the rail
way company having made a PROPOSE
ton, which seems to be fair, to build
and maintain the work over its right
of way. Be it therefore resolved: That
when the sum of $1,000 is subscribed
in townships or privately, and made
available, also in event of the state
highway commission guaranteeing al
amount to equal one third of the cost
of construction necessary to complete
the work outside of the railway right
of way, then the chairman of the
board of county commissioners is au
thorized to sign this agreement, which
was prepared by the railway company
signed by its authorized representative
and now awaits the signature of The
board of county commissioners. Reso
luton adopted.
