AT the meeting of the Kootenai Val

by Mrs. j. M. DePuy, who stated that
a number of the farmers of Boundary

secure final appraisals She stated
that the federal appraiser should be
brought here before the high water
period, otherwise the farmers in need
OF federal assistance, would have to
wait until after the floods have sub
sibed.
A committee composed of Messrs
Fry, T1lley, Drake, Fisher and Mrs
DePuy, was appointed to draft reso-
luton, requesting the Spokane Fed
eral Land Bank to send an appraiser
mere Immediately. The following reso
luton was drafted and received the
endorsement of club members:
Resolved by the Kootenai Valley
Commercial Club:
That whereas many farmers in
the Kootenai valley have had applica
tions for loans before the land bank
since October, 1921,
And whereas the annual over-
flow of lands occurs in the earlv mart
OF the month of June, which would
make appraisal on some of these lands
impossible for several weeks.
Therefore, this commercial club mr.
gently requests that you immediately
send in an appraiser to act on the an
phcatons on file for loans on lands in
our county.
