Letter Re: Rates for Legal Publications The following letter from the St. Louis Park Dispatch, signed by J. L. Markham, dated April 19, 1947, was read: "This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of yesterday re- garding the new law pertaining to rates for legal publications. The present legislature passed a bill, which was signed by the Governor and which became effective as of April 15, 1947, setting the legal rate for first publications at $1.20 per folio; for subsequent publications at 60 cents per folio; and for tabular matter at 40 cents per folio additional. The measure encountered no opposition anywhere, in either house or by the governor, since the tremendously increased cost of news- paper production in the war years justified it completely. I have for- gotten the exact year, but the legal rate of 90 cents for first and 45 cents for subsequent, with 25 cents additional for tabular matter, had not been revised upward for many, many years. My recollection is that the 90 cent rate was established in the nineteen twenties. Thanking you sincerely for the splendid treatment you have given The DISPATCH, and assuring you that our determination is to reciprocate with every cooperation within our means, we remain," Resolution On motion of Trustee Perkins, seconded by Trustee Bolmgren, the following resolution was adopted by unanimous vote of Councilmen present: RESOLUTION CANCELING CERTAIN TAR ASSESSMENTS BE IT RESOLVED that the tar assessment on the following described property; Section 31, Township 29, Range 24 - Commencing at a point 1020.1 feet East from a point 435.6 feet North from the center section; thence East 44.7 feet; thence South 187.5 feet; thence West 44.7 feet; thence North 187.5 feet to beginning - Job No. 113-A, passed by the Village Council.
