REJECTION OF

Attorney General Rules Nor
ton Board Acted Without
Legal Authority

Norton county commissioners
have no authority to order the
county auditor to reject bids on
r&al-. estate acquired by the county
-urTTx sales and offered at auc.
ton to the public, Attorney Gen
cral George Shafer has held in an
opinion To G. T.. kelsch, states ut.
tori, Of Morton county.
Il outlined by kelsch in his re-
pet for an opinion the county
ca.. nissioncrs did not, prior to the
sale, place a minimum sales value
. upon the land. At the time Of the
sale bids on many Mandan lots
were less than the amount Of the
general taxes, special assessments
anL interest and penalties charged
ayaulst them. The county board
was present when the auditor ac-
ceptcd the bids, but two days later
adopted Il resolution directing the
niitor t. reject all bids. kclsch
asked If the county board had such
authority under the circumstances
Statutes Quoted
In his reply Attorney General
Shafer said: "fhc statute provides
that the county auditor, with the
approval Of the county commits
