scented and was upon motion adopted
Whereas, considerable agitation
has taken place in this state con-
corning laws that seem unwise and in
applicable to our local conditions,
and memorials have been prepared
and sent to our legislature for the
repeal of certain of these laws, it
has been deemed wise by some
county boards in our state that
one man from each county be ap-
pointed to meet at some central place
to consider the various laws as
viewed by their respective county
boards, and report their findings to
the legislature recommending action
to cover Inasmuch as this would
and a great deal of discussion and
simplify the recommendations,
1t is Hereby Resolved, that the
Chairman of our board is hereby au-
thorized to appoint member from
the County Board of Bayfield, County,
with the usual fees to cover per
diem and expense, to meet with such
a representative, and the County
Jerk is hereby instructed to send
to each County Clerk in the state
copy of this resolution praying
other boards to take such action.
