To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of the County of
Barnes, State of North Dakota.
Gentlemen: Permit me to tender
to your Honorable board my resig-
nation as states attorney of Barnes
County, North Dakota, effective i'm
mediately upon its presentation to
you. This action on my part is made
necessary by reason Of the fact that
at this time am in the Federal SER
vice, and by reason of my duties in
such service it appears that l will be
required to leave the United States
and be absent from the state of North
Dakota for a considerable period of
time.
From the standpoint of severing
relations with you, it is with regret
, that circumstances require of me this
step, as our relations have been of the
most cordial, and it has indeed been
a pleasure to have worked with you,
and privilege to have been permitted
to be your legal advisor.
It would, however, not be fair to
your Board or to the tax payers of
Barnes County for me to hold this
position during such an extended alb
sence, so that from my standpoint I.
take this action to relieve you from an
absent counselor, giving to you the
opportunity to appoint one who will
be able to be in attendance upon you.
It is desired that favorable action
be taken at your first meeting.
With best wishes to each of you
personally, and the hope when the
present emergency ceases to exist,
that l may have the pleasure of Wis
iting you when you are seated in
the commissioners chairs, beg to
remain.
Very truly yours,
David S. Richie.
Moved and duly seconded that the
resignation of D. S. Richie, states
attorney for Barnes county, be ac-
cepted.
On motion duly seconded and car
