sembly of North Dakota, was read.
Moved by Mr.. McNaughton and sec
onded by MI. xGessner that the follow
ing resolution be adopted:
WHEREAS, There has been present.
ed for consideration petitions signed
by H.SG. McMurray and others. free
holders residing within Ramsey Co.
North Dakota, for the bonding of the
County pursuant to the provisions of
House Bill No. 1, a law passed at the
Special Session Of the Fifteenth Leg
~islative Assembly of the State of
North Dakota, for the relief Of far
mers, in need of seed grain and feed,
and unable to obtain the same. in
fcounties where there has been a total
or partial failure of crops during the
preceding year.
AND WHEREAS, Said petitions
We're filed prior to February 25th,
1918, and this board has been called
by the County Auditor for a consider
alton thereof,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board
of County Commissioners Of Ramsey
County, North Dakota, and after 3
due consideration of said petitions and
examination thereof, and having de-
liberated upon the need in this county
Ifor the relief asked, does hereby deny
the relief asked in said petitions upon
the following grounds:
(1) That the petitions are signed
by farmers living in a portion Of Ram.
sey County in which the crops for the
preceding year were better than Il
many other parts of the county, and
not as poor as in other portions of the
county where no relief has been re.
quested.
(2) That to the personal knowledge
of the Board a great MANY of the
signers on said petitions, if not in facI
a majority thereof, are among the
most prosperous farmers in the coun.
ty, and well able to procure seed, feet
and grain for the 1918 season from
their own resources, and many q
them actually already provided for
and only a few of the signers on sait
petitions, if any, are actually in neet
of relief and unable to procure seet
grain and feed, and there is doubt il
! the minds of the Commissioners as t,
whether these signers are in need b,
reason of the crops failures of the pre-
ceding year.
~ That this Board acting upol
these petitions has concluded that the,
, do not indicate a necessity for relic:
or for bonding the county or ISSUING
warrants in accordance with the pro
visions Of said act, there being n,
other petitions presented which d,
show an actual need on the part o.
the signers and there being no show
ing for relief which would make i
wise o. expedient to bond the count,
or issue County Warrants.
