Open lands and roads funding battle in Deadwood South Dakota
A test case in Deadwood questions whether county commissioners may use the general fund for road work amid scarce road funds. Attorneys dispute if the 1919 road levy limits require a vote on added appropriations, with Mason pushing for a broader $1000 per $500000 assessment for roads. Standing Rock and Cheyenne reservations set fall openings for settlement, while Sioux Falls builds a profitable municipal water system with growing revenues and 32 miles of mains.
