was presented to the board and laid
over until January, 1928
The matter of most Importance to
be taken up at the meeting, the ques-
ton of redistricting the county, next
came under consideration. The SUBJ
ject was introduced by Charles Gish
of Onamia. James Warren and Will
liam Benzie of Onamia were also
present, but Mr. Gish acted as chief
spokesman for the group. He called
the attention of the board to the fact
that district contains over 80 per
cent of the population Of the county
and to chapter $40 Of the 1917 session
laws. The committee from Onamia
urged the board to take immediate ac-
ton in regard to the re-districting but
the majority of commissioners we're
not disposed to call an extra session
for that purpose before January 2,
1923. A motion by Robert Balm ask
ing that December 20 be set as the
day of hearing for the proposed re-
districting received no second and
was consequently dropped.

ceived until 10 a. m. on January 3.

nous vote of the board calling for
separate bids from the newspapers in
the county on the printing of the de-
linquent tax list; the commissioners
proceedings; financial statement;
ditch notices, school notices and all
other legal notices; and the job work.
It was stated in the motion that each
one Of these separate items would be
awarded to the lowest bidder.
