ney George A. Barnes as a men,

following letter of resignation:
March %, 1888
E. A. PeaSe, Chairman
County Board of Redwood County
Redwood Falls, Minnesota
Dear Mr.. PeaSe:
At the request of the County
Board in July, 1887, 1 became a
member of the County Welfare
Board and have been such a men,
Der since Chapter 343 of the laws
of 1887 became effective. I have
been studying certain situations
that may occur in the near future
relative to cases that are to be
sponsored by the County Welfare
Board, and I have come to the
conclusion and feel that there
might be some conflict between
my duties as County Attorney
and as a member of the County
Welfare Board, and therefore I
am rendering my resignation at
this time.
I hope that you will appoint an
additional member from the re-
manning members of the County
Board to succeed me as feel that
the County Board should be very
close to the Welfare program in
view of the fact that they appro-
pirate the money to finance pub
lie assistance.
It is with deep regret and after
considerable thought on my part
that 1 am taking this step, but
1 assure you and the other men,
bers of the County Board that I
will do everything can to make
the welfare set-up of this county
a success so that eventually public
assistance and all of the categor-
les of welfare will be administer
ed on a basis that is fair and just
to the recipient as well as to the
tax payer. AS County Attorney I
am the legal adviser of the We'll
fare Board and expect to attend
their meetings in that capacity
and assist them in any way pos
sible to carry out their program.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Geo. A. Barnes -
