V/hereas, durinp the years 1931 to 19!37 inclnsi-ve, the State Allotment Board has un•Nittingly or
otherwise discriminated against the count.v of Otter Tail .in the distri1,·Jtion of the gas t~ -funds which
constitutes ·part of the State ;~oad and '3ridf.!eFund. and
nhereas, according to the records of. the distribution, on file with the State Allotment Soard,
this disClrimination in the year 1937 was in tl;le amount of at least ~;55,000, nnd in the yeare l!l.34 to
1936 inclusive this disc:ri:nination totaled an !l!!IOunt of at least ~)G0,000, and
l'/herea.s, the structure of the law regarding the distribution of the one mill tax wilich constitutes
part of the State Road and nridge Fund 11nkes it impossible for Otter Tail Conn tr to receive the snme bene-
fits from this fund made available to other counties, and
l'fhereas, due to discrimim1tion in the distribution of State P.oad and 13ridp.e "'nnd, the people in
the Count.I' of Otter 'l'ail have been deprived of necessor.v hggh•11a.v construction 1·1hich in the same P.eriod
has been enjoyed b,V our more fortunate neip.hborinp. counties and counties elsewhere in thP. state, and
Whereas, a fair distribution of.State funds is extremel.v imy,ortant to the Count,v of Otter •rail
due to the fact that construction costs in this county are much hi~her thnn i'l man.v counties because
of the nat ure.l to pograph.\', and
Whereas, the rends in Otter Tail County carry much more truf~ic thun roads in other counties due
to the great number of foreign vehicles which use our roads because of the many lakes and summer
vacationinr-opportunities existing in this county and do not exist in other counties and which is a
fact that can be determined by a study of the res11lts of the state wide highwa.v planning survey,
Now, therefore be it resolved, that in view or the foregoinc facts outlined in this resolution,
that the State Bonrd of Allotment be requeste6. to mal::e every effort to award the Count.v of Otte?" Tail
its fair share o·f the funds accruing to the StatP. Rend and Bridge 7und as a result of gasoline taxes,
and also in view of the facts outlined above the State Bourci cf Allotment mal:e retribution to the
Connt.v of Otter Tail, for n:iparent un.intentionnl_ deprivation of. funds justly belonging to this county,
b,, makinr-available thP. sum of $20,000 as specia.l aid to be used on the fol10,·1ing construction projects:
