Governor George F. Shafer will hear arguments this afternoon in the removal proceedings brought against the three Divide county commissioners.
The arguments will be based on the record of testimony taken at hearings conducted at Crosby last month. Several electors of the county charged the commissioners with malfeasance, incompetency, and improper conduct.
L. O. Bloom, Carl Schultz, and C. T. Bissonnette are the commissioners whose removal is sought. They have denied the charges.
The arguments will bring the proceedings to an end, and will leave the case in the hands of Governor Shafer.
In the event the commissioners are dissatisfied with the decision of the governor, they can resort to the courts.
