GEORGE REFUSES

der to enable the attorney for the
petitioners to present authorities in
support of his position.
While the ease argued to-day in
volved only trifle over $4,000, and
related to Judicial Ditch No. IL,
there are other ditch contracts which
will be affected by the decision, so
that the amount involved is prac-
tically $4,000. If the law is held to
be constitutional the contractors will
receive this money. If the position
of the county Is correct the county
will have the use of this money un-
til the final completion of the con-
tracts. The county receives interest
on the money in its possession, there:
by reducing the ultimate cost to the
land owners affected by the ditch.
The result is important to the con-
tractors, because they need the
money. 1t is important to the coun-
ty because the interest the county
receives on $4,000 is very sub
stantial sum.
When interviewed to-day regard
ing the case County Attorney Tor.
rance said:-
Il know of no legal, moral or
equitable claim the ditch contrac-
tors have to this money. Until some
such reason is plainly made to ap-
pear / shall do all in my power to
resist its payment.
County Auditor George is entitled
to much credit for the persistency
with which he has stood his ground.
Believing, as he did, that the county
was entitled to retain this money. he
refused it's payment, in spite of the
fact that the attorney generals office
had ruled to the contrary, and not
withstanding that our neighboring
county had paid over it's share of the
money demanded"
Judge Stanton leaves this evening
for Baudette, here he will hold a.
special term of court. It is expected
that he will file his decision shortly
after his return to Bemidji.
