TO REACH AGREEMENT
ON POINTS AT ISSUE
Legislature Failed to Provide
Division of Indebtedness
For Stanley County.

Kadoka, S. d.. June As. the last
legislature. because of the intricate
questions involved, failed to enact leg
islation for the adjustment of differ
ences between the counties of Stanley,
Haakon and Jackson. representatives
of the three n are holding a
series of meetings for the purpose OF
striving to arrive at a settlement of the
matters at issue.
Haakon and Jackson counties have
been carved from Stanley county, and
the chief question to be determined by
the representatives of the mother
ty and the VI offspring is as to what
proportion of the indebtedness of Stan
ley county shall be assumed by the two
new counties. A settlement now is in
a fair way to be made
The total Indebtedness OF Stanley
county is approximately s131,0O0. BY
the terms of the settlement which now
is about to be concluded Haakon coun.
ty will SUI $54.0 900 of this indebted
ness and jackson county's share of the
Indebtedness of the mother county Will
be about $4,000. If a settlement on
this basis can be reached, as expected.
all three counties will be in good
financial condition and none of them
will have enough Indebtedness TO cause
worry to any of the residents.
