PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
Board Of County Commissioners
CAVALIER COUNTY, N. D.

CAVALIER COUNTY, N. D..
Minutes of a regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners of
Cavalier county, North Dakota. held
at the office of the County Auditor, in
the City of Langdon, N. D., conven-
ing on Monday, January 18th, 1915, at
the hour of two O'Clock in the after
noon.
Present: Commissioner Elias Por-
ter, chairman, and Commissioners S.
G. Erickson, R. B. Laing, E. Wien
ecke and Alex. Russell.
The minutes of the proceedings of
the last regular meeting and special
meetings of the board were read and
upon motion approved.
Bids for the furnishing of county
officers bonds were submitted to the
board by the following companies:
The Equitable Surety Co., Dakota
Trust Co., Fidelity Deposit Co.,
American Surety Co., United States
Mortgage Co., New England Casualty
Co., Northwestern Trust Co., Massa-
chusetts Bonding Co., National Surety
Co., Illinois Surety Co., and Northern
Trust Co.
Being as the bids of the foregoing
surety companies were practically all
the same, a motion was made and
carried that the county treasurer and
the county commissioners select their
own surety company, as they are COM
PEELED by law to furnish surety bonds.
The balance of the county officers
were requested to furnish a personal
bond if possible.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the board:
Whereas, The county treasurer, and
certain other county officers are re-
quired by law to furnish a surety bond
for the faithful performance of their
duties, and the premium must be paid
by the county, and
Whereas, In 1911 the treasurer 8,
sheriff's and clerk of courts bonds fol-
a total of SIS, 600. 90 cost the county
only $3.50. 90, where in 1913 anc
1915 said bonds for $75, 600. 90 cost
the county the sum Of $50, and
Whereas, 1t further appears that
the premium charged on those surety
bonds, which are compulsory, is much
higher than the premium charged ir
those bonds, where it is optiona
whether a surety or a personal bono
is furnished, and
Whereas, 1t appears from the bid'
submitted by the different surety com
panies that there is no competition
amongst them, but that they have es
tablished rates and all make the sam
bid, and
Whereas, 1t appears that under tn
present system this county would hav'
to pay each term about 81, 600. 90 il
fidelity bonds with which to bond it
officers, and as it also appears from
statistics over the state that the sam
condition prevails in other countie
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-02-04

and that more premium is paid in any
one year than the whole defalcations
of county officers have amounted to
since this state vas organized, and
Whereas, 1t appears that a bill has
been introduced into the Legislature of
North Dakota, providing for a state
bonding department, wherein each
county pays its premium into a fund,
out of which it will draw its proper
ton, when d%efalcations occur,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, BY the
Board of County Commissioners, of
Cavalier County in Session Assembled,
That we protest against the out
rageous rates adopted by the surety
companies, doing business in North
Dakota; that we further heartily
recommend a state bonding depart
ment and any measure that can be
passed by the said Legislature, pro-
viding for a legal method whereby the
state can handle the bonding Of coun-
ty and township officers, and
Be 1t Futher Resolved, That, we
send a copy of this resolution to Sen
ator Henry Mclean and to Representa-
tives John Balsdon, James Morgan
and Ole T Axvig, and that we
respectfully ask them to use their in
fuence for the passage of such a law.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That we
send a copy of this resolution to Sen
ator Ellingson, whom we compliment
for his efforts in securing a rectifica-
ton of this matter.
