A copy of a letter way read from Willard E. Fraser addressed to Mike
NfcZinto~k ag follows:
Mr. Mike McClintock, Chairm~,
Yellowstone County Co~nissioner~
Courthouse
Billin~~, Mc~n~ana
De$r N1r. McClin~~cks
It seems to me that the time has come to do more the dust talk
about consolidation, and I+€i like-to make some suggestions herein far the
commissioner; to cogitate on; and thin let u~ see i~ we ean~t get to gather
to further di~cuas theme.
~y thought i~ this: That you -the Co nissioner~ -and ~nysel~
each appoint three men from our respective branches of government to a
committee to discuss and explore th¢ possibilities of eonsolid~ting services.
Ong member of this eoamnittee o~ the three th~.t I appoint shau~d obviously b~
the he~.d of that p~.rticular department of the City; ~o the co~mitte~ would
hone various m~mb~rs, as the studg adwanc~d. I would think that the: same ~rould hold tree with the County, but that you must ~udg~.
side should invite the Ma,~or of Laurel to likewise appoint ~ committee
of three from his community. In addition, it sums to me that we should ha~r~
a citiz~nTs group of tlhree or possibly five - I wouldTnt hold particularly for
then ber in any of these categories - to li}~ewise p~.rticipate, and it might even be well to ask one from either the G'~amber, or ane of th~? coll.ege~ -
preferably, perhaps the latter - to Chairman the over-all committee, and m~.ke
this along-texnn cozmnittee to see what we can do toward the EonSOlic~atiox~,
bearing in mind that effie~_ency is one of the primary things ~e are striving
for. Perhaps one member should repr~sEnt the Y~llo~rstone Bar ~lawyers~
i.__ ~.~soeiation. Economy has its place, but you and I both well know that the services still have to be performed -services that will be demanded to an
ever greater extent in the future; so we mist bear in mind that there are
many factors -over and beyond tteconomy" that are involeed.
Let's talk about this goon. Give m~ your thoughts Qn th~~ suggestion
and then if you would like to e~cplor~: the matter further - and I h~pc you will
w~ should set a ti.~e when ~e can have lunch and invite whomever you might want
to attend, such as City and County Attorney, Fresid~r~t~ of the ~o~zncil~ ChaYaber
o~ Commerce, and Bar association -But not necessarily limited to then.
Sincerely
