Regarding, the proposition of
moving the county seat from White
Sulphur to Harlowton as suggested
by the Judith Gap paper we will
say that we do not look with favor
upon the proposition, inasmuch as
it would require a two third vote
of the county, and we realize that
this would be a difficult PROPOSE
ton TO undertake. Furthermore.
it would place the people in the
west end Of the county under the
same difficulty to get to the county
seat as the people of the east end
are now. We also feel that our
White Sulphur Springs friends
would think that we were very
nngrateful to infringe upon them
in this manner. We also feel that
the time, energy and money already
expended for county division
movement would simply be wasted.
Again what would be the idea of
giving up snle thing for an I'M
certainty, The county division
movement will be as beneficial for
our Judith Gap friends as for any
body else.
