The Todd County Commissioners agreed to pay an additional $1.50 per ton in garbage tipping fees to Otter Tail County for a six-month interim period. The total cost to the county will be about $5000. This decision was reached after the board learned that Hubbard County will be leaving the eight-county joint powers group which supports the Fergus Falls and Perham incinerators.

The Board of Education has set September 16 as the opening day of school. This date supplants the original date of September 3.

This seems doubly important since the number of polio cases reported lately indicates that the peak of the epidemic probably has not been reached in rural areas.
