NO DECISION IS REACHED
IN NEW COUNTY HEARING
Friday's Session Occupied With Presentation of
Petitions Filed; Will Be Continued at 10 Next
Wednesday, and Commission Will Review
Papers in Meantime.
Whether the proj>osefl now county
of Dearborn W >H he formed from por
tions of Cascade ami Lewis and Clark
counties, was not decided at n hearing
given petitioners for and objectors to
the establishment <>f the new unit <>n
Friday. The sessions commenced be
fore Commissioners \V. F. Kester, Hen
Johnson and .1. It. liennett "f Cascade
county at 11 n. m.. and the hearing was
adjourned at 1 :•'!(» to be resumed at l'»
a . m. next Wednesday it which time it
is hoped a definite decision will be
made.
Practically the entire time at the hear
ing on Friday was utilized in presenting
to the commissionrs the various peti
tions which have been filed in both
counties. These have not all been
tabulated as to their contents. I.ewis
and Clark county objectors appear
particularly numerous, although by far
t.he greater portion <>f the territory ask
ed for by the petitioners for the new
county lies within Cascade county.
Deluge of Petitions.
Original petitions, of course, had to ;
be filed ill both counties. One file.I
with County Clerk and Recorder John;
Mo ran of Cascade county on August j
IHHit. This contained the signatures of j
3!)0 petitioners. On the same date an j
other petition, identical to the one fil- j
ed here, was filed in I a 1 wis and Clark j
county. This bore r>l signatures. j
On August 27 withdrawal petitions
were filed in both counties, the one fil-!
ed here bearing in names and the one j
in Lews and Clark county On |
August two petitions for exclusion ;
of territory were also filed in Cascade
county. These carried 15 signatures j
each, and were the final petitions filed j
in the matter in this county.
Perhaps the biggest feature of the fil- i
ing procedures came on Aug. 2S, how
ever. in Lewis and Clark county, when !
n petition for retraction from the with
drawal petition was filed. Several pe
titioners who bad signed the withdrawal !
petition asking that their names lie tnk
en from the original petition asking f<u
the establishment of Dearborn county. I
reconsidered their action and asked that ,
their names be taken off the withdrawal j
petition. This retraction petition was
signed by 11 Lewis and Clark county
taxpayers.
Two Exclusion Petitions.
On Aug. 27 there was also filed in
Lewis and Clark county a petition ask
ing for inclusion of territory. It bore
the signatures of 30 petitioners.
Then on Aug. 27 another petition
asking for the exclusion of some Lewis
and Clerk county territory was filed.
This carried 53 names and may prove
the weak link in the chain with which
the advocates of the proposed new unit
hope to gain their point.
In the original petition, asking for
the establishment of the new county,
1,2f>($ square miles of territory were
designated. The Jaw stipulates that a •
new county must have • .c> 1 .
square ind<*s before it «•:« ■- iblisi.
ed. Something over Hon mile
of Innd requested by the t ' » i»r
Dearborn county Ii«*s in < i - > • • ■.nti
ty. the remainder being in I■>.is audi
Clark.
While the petitions asking for ■ x<1 u- |
sion of territory have not been compiled j
as yet. it is believed they ask that, some- i
thing more than 500 miles be excluded. J
Should this be a fact the new county*
cannot, be established. Chairman He-- !
tor of the county board stated mi Fri- j
day that 270 square miles of the pro-'
posed teritory have been designated for j
exclusion in the petitions filed in Cms- i
cade county, and were it not, that the i
inclusion petition filed in J/ewis and
Clark may offset this, these 270 square ;
miles alone would seal til- doom of the I
proposed county, should the petitions be j
accepted. j
Must Be Taxpayers.
Deputy County Attorney J. L. Wine,'
Jr.. of Lewis and Clark county, asked j
the board to have five taxpayers from |
that county verify the signatures ap- j
pea ring on the. original petition filed in j
that, county. This will have to be. done'
before the resumption of the hearing j
next Wednesday. Mr. Wine is asking!
this to make certain all signers are rax- !
payers.
In the meantime, mem hers of the Cas- J

Members 'if the board were somewhat
uncertain on Friday as to whether or
not they are required to honor the sig
