The Grand Island County Division
Convention.
The county division convention
held at Grand Island last week
accomplished no more in har
mony than had they held their
Covention some place in Cust-r
county which would saved them
from fifty to one hundred miles
of extra travel.
The lines drawn were not sat
isfactory to the entire delegation
present and less than half of the
township in the county were re
presented.
It was another in which Dick
BregB dominated the conven
tion and had bis own way.
The lines drown propose a
fine county cut on practically the ,
same lines /adopted last year , '
except a pear shaped county is
maped out that extends from
Broken Bow south to the county
line and is twelve miles wide a *
north end ami thirty one miles at
the south end and contains about
460 square miles with Oonto the
prospective county seat.
Broken now is left in the north
west oortion of he county with
Merna and Anselmo. The
county proposed in the prososed

the prospective county
seat extends to the corporation
lines of the city of Broken Bow
as does also the proposed county
in the northeast with Sargent
the prospective county seat ex
tends to the corporation lines o :
the city of Broken Bow , as docs
also the proposed county in the
southeast with Ansley the pros
pective county seat. The Ansley
county would contain 642 Square
miies while the southeast was
cut down to 468 square miles.
I'he proposed lines will not
prove popular with the voters o
the county in fact no lines can
be drawn that will accomodate
as great p number of the people
of the county as are accomodatec
by the present boundaries o
Custer county while a few are a
long distance from their county
seat the majority of the people
can reach Broken Bow withou
much inconveuieucij and make
the trip both ways in the day and
most of them in half the ; ime
are two portions of the county
that are not so favorably sit
uated owingto the geonp'i
of the county but it is r " i
to the whole peotjn. of tit . . 4y
the territory should be cut into
five parts merely to accomodate
a very small minority that are
most fortunately located relative
to this county seat. The REPUB
LICAN prebits the question will
not come to a vote as we think
that a majority of stngdrs can
not be secured for the proposed
division in more than one of the
proposed counties.
