RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR DEADLOGKED ITASGA GO Bill Passed By "Legislature Authoriz- ing Governor Johnson to Appoint Another Commissioner. Aad A. Tone of Northome, who is a member of the ‘filibuster- ing” board of county commis- sioners of Itasca county, was in Bemidji yesterday afternoon, re- turning to his home from attend- ing a meeting of the board at Grand Rapids. Mr. Tone stated that it was impossible to get the four mem- bers of the board together on any sort of an organization of the commissioners, - election of a chairman, and other formal busi- ness of that kind.- However, ac- cording to Mr. Tone, the four members did agree to sign the acceptance of the bonds of the incoming county officers, so that the entire business of the county would not be at a standstill until the situation was relieved. It is understood that a bill was passed by the legislature, yesterday, authorizing Governor Johnson to appoint an additional commissioner for Itasca county, to serve with the “present four wmembers, in order that business may be transacted. The biil pro- vides that the appointee must not be a resident of ‘any township which at present has a resident member of the board of commis- sioners. As soon as Governor Johnson announces his appointment of the fifth commissioner, and the’ appointee qualifies, another meeting of the ‘board will be called, and it is ‘expected that business will be transacted with precision and dispatch.
