City Auditor NJ. J. Boyd, who has
so efficiently held that Office for the
past twelve years, has resigned to
take effect Augut first. Mr.. Boyd is
to become grand lodge auditor of the
A. O. U. w. off, North Dakota the
jurisdiction of which comprises the
states of North Dakota, Montana, Ida
no, Utah and California. Mr.. Boyd
will be auditor in name until Novem-
Der first in order to save special cleo
ton and the expense of the same.
According to law the city can ap-
point an auditor at that time without
special election. Mayor Bonhus has
offered the position to w. T. Craswell
who has accepted the same. Mr.. Cras-.
wells appointment is good one and
he will fill that Office with efficiency
and credit. He will assume the duties
August first. Mr.. Boyd's new job is
a big one and carries with it of course
considerable more remuneration. His
many friends here will regret his sew
erance with the city but will wish him
abundant success in his new field. For
some time to come Mr.. Boyd and fam
ily will remain at Valley City but
eventually they will move possibly 70
Fargo although M. J. says Utah looks
good to him.
