County division debate questions costs and risks
The piece argues against creating Petroleum county, warning that bonds of $300,000 to $500,000 would be needed and road funds would shrink, with costly record transcription and long term oil lease management. It cites tax burdens, crop failures, and regional debts while noting potential gains from oil. It contrasts with Manitoba freight rate cuts and U S policy toward Soviet Russia.
