COUNTY BOND =
ISSUE AUTHORIZED
TO PAY ROAD DEBT OF $780, ,000-
DECLINE TO APPOINT
COUNTY NURSE

-dCbtednetSs OF the county and voting
against the employment of county
nurse.
The resolution authorizing the bono
issue stipulated that bids will be re
ccived for the purchase Of said bonds
on May - at 2 p. M, at the auditor 5
office IN the court house. The indcbt
cdn~+ which it is proposed to pa.
with these bonds was all incurred
through road work for which warrants
are outstanding at present.
Several delegations appeared before
the board Tuesday morning and urgcd
the appointment of county nurse
among them being c. Roscnmcier, N.
N. Bergheim, A. F. Koslosky, Miss
Lucy Baker, and Crawford Sheldon,
county superintendent of schools. They
pointed out the need Of a, county nurse.
All OF those who appeared before tn"
board did so from an entirely unseltish
standpoint, as this city gets no bene-
fit whatever from the employment Of a
county nurse. her work being confined
entirely to the rural districts. Com
missioner Pelkey did not openly state
that he was opposed to the county
nurse idea but he attacked the manner
nurse was handled in the past. Com
missioner Hasscrt said that none of his
constituents had approached him in
regard to filling the vacancy. Com
missionen Berglund and Millbery had
previously indicated that they favored
employing a county nurse and it looked
as thongi' the proposition was going
through when Commissioner Lundberg
seconded Millbery's motion to make
the appointment, but secret ballot
was token on the motion and it was
defeated, s to 2. This action does not
neccssnri'v settle the question, how
ever, a. it may be reopened at any
future meeting Of the board.
A petition by residents of Pike
Creek and Darling townships to have
tho territory which formerly comprised
School District 80, separated from the
Little Fhi!s Independent district, to
which it was annexed on petition a
year ago, was granted.
A large number of residents of Pike
Crock and Darling appeared before
the board and opposed the petition, al
so Sspt. Bergquist of the city schools.
The petitioners were represented by
tive spokesmen. one of whom was not a
sisnor of the petition. The main ar
gulncnt for separation was the fact
that the children have to get up early
to ride in the school bus and do not
get home until late in the afternoon.
It is understood that a new petition
is being circulated now to call e special
election on the question and tine legal
ity Of the separation petition is also
being Investigated by the local school
authorities.
