Other Resolution.
Last week a communication from
the Standpoint chamber of commerce
requested the Wallace board to pass
resolutions favoring the maintenance
OF the experimental farm at Standpoint,
law empowering city councils to
maintain parking at the expense Of
adjacent property and authorizing a
more liberal allowance by counties for
expense of teachers Institutes II. J.
Hun. chairman of the public welfare
committee. to which the matter was
referred, submitted resolutions favor
ing the three subjects.
James f. Mccarthy, who has recent
ly returned from Boise, urged that
the resolution regarding the expert
mental farm he dropped. He said the
question of disseminating the financial
support temporarily had been the
subject of much consideration by the
administration and is stll an involv-
ed question which goes beyond the
mere appropriation for the experiment
tai farms those in the south being in
cluded as we'll as that at Standpoint
Mr.. Mccarthy thought that this was
one question upon which the board
should withhold its advice at this
time leaving the matter to be handled
by our representatives, who are on
the ground and are familiar with all
the cross currents. He moved that
the resolution respecting experimental
farms be dropped from the report.
Mr. Hull explained his position, /
which was in effect that the people of /
Standpoint had paid a large sum for |
the site for the experimental farm and /
that it would be forfeited if not used .
for that purpose for a period of two
years. He found that the right to the
land would not be jeopardized before
the meeting OF the next legislature
and he therefore did not insist upon
retaining the resoltion.
Herman j. Rossi agreed substantial
ly with what Mr. Mccarthy had said.
but he felt that the boards action
should at least show its moral sup
port of Standpoint He therefore NOV ,
ed that the resolution regarding the +
farm be referred back TO g
the committee for report next week q
