Committee From the Three sites Asks
Normal Board to Select That Site In
Accordance With Wish Of Majority.

In conformity to plan OF election
agreed upon by Sta.e Superintendent.
e. j. Taylor and Hon. Frank Wilson,
president and secretary of the Normal
board, together with a committee of
six citizens appointed by the above
committee representing the normal
board, an election was held here In
the city between the hours of nine
and five, Saturday, Aug. ~, to settle
the matter definitely Of the selection
Of normal school site for the Mi
not school. The result Of that cleo
ton shows first choice for the Ram
stad North size, 3se; first choice o.
SOMEHOW site, 1853 and first choice,
soo-valley site, 1875, or majority of
~ votes over both the Olson-Grow
site and the Soo-valley combined, a
clear, definite majority. The result
shows that the people Of the city gave
twice as many votes to the North
Valley site with As to spare as they
did to She Grow Olson site and twice
Is many votes for the North Valley,
site with 40 to- spare as they did to
the Soo-Valley site, thus settling be-
yond controversy the desire and de-
liberate Judgment of the people Of the
city.
Seven hundred fifteen tax payers
vo,ed, Indicating a full, complete ex-
preston Of our tax paying population.
While the election was intense from
start to finish, yet in every respect
Il was orderly and exceedingly we'll
J, conducted.
Today, there is no such thing as a
Soo-Valley site, a South Hill site or a
North Ramstad site. Personal inter-
est has ceased, and Minot, irrespec-
tive of previous preferences, is unit
for the buildings going up at the ear
Hest possible date, at the place where
The people In their deliberate judy
ment said they should go, and where
beyond question of doubt, the nor
NAL board will place them.
The city of Minot has received some
unjust criticism, for which the editor
believes, they were not entitled to. As
an evidence of the harmonious atti-
tude of the whole city, we give here
rex olution sent to the secretary of the
normal board, and signed by the per-
sonal representatives of the three
sites, in which they unanimously urge
that the normal board select the Ram
stad North Valley site as the location
for the normal school:
Minot, N. D., Aug. IL, 1911.
To the members of the Normal board:
Gentlemen
We, the undersigned committee, Sc
lected by your special committee,
Supt. E. j. Taylor and Frank Wilson,
to arrange for a special election to be
held. Saturday. Aug. u, to settle the
question OF normal site here, at the
city Of Minot,, report that the election
was held and that the Ramstad North
Valley site received clear majority
OF all TIE votes cast We send here
with the abstract of the votes as re-
turned, from the six voting precincts.
We therefore urge in compliance with
the resolution, authorizing the vote,
that the normal board select the Ram
stad North Valley cite, as the location
for the normal school.
