The Ramsey County board meets July 5 1887 with Chairman Currier and commissioners McCormick Barton Lohnes Mahood and County Clerk Percival. They review the county assessment roll for equalization, hear complaints about Morria Township and St Anthony Elevator valuation, and adjourn to Wednesday.

They canvass special court house and jail bond results, appoint plans for court house and jail bids, authorize various road and bridge expenditures, and handle liquor licenses, school elections, refunds, and miscellaneous county business. The text includes detailed numeric equalization figures by township and cattle values, plus notes on legal-advisory questions and local notices.
