Following a discussion ~f the County split as between the City
of Minneapolis and its suburbs and the rural districts of
Hennepin County, it was the consensus of opinion of the council
that the problem with respect to benefits, either to the rural
areas or to the city, and as cohtemplated by the split, had not
been sufficiently analyzed and openly discussed to.warrant action
at this time, and that, generally speaking, there was more of
a solution to be found in unity than in separation. The.clerk
was authorized to communicate this stand by. the village to
the Minnesota League of Municipalities, to the Minnesota State
Senate, anX to the Minnesota House of Representatives.
