Correspondence of the supervising inspector of country elevators, 1899-1912.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313865686

Correspondence regarding grain elevator licenses, ownership, operation, and related matters. Correspondence of R. C. Burdick (1901) and Henry Feig (1901-1912), supervising inspectors of rural elevators in Minnesota. Much of it has to do with the sending and receiving of applications for grain elevator licenses (the applications themselves are not present), and the ownership and operating status of elevators. Some, however, concerns such matters as availability of railroad cars for shipping grain, wheat grading and inspection practices, grain prices, duties of public warehouses as regards the issuance and honoring of storage receipts, submission of annual reports by grain elevators, and other aspects of grain elevator establishment and operation. A number of illustrated letterheads are found throughout the files.

In 1967 the RRWC was replaced by the Public Service Department (Laws 1967 c864), and in 1974 the livestock regulatory functions were transferred to the Department of Agriculture (Laws 1974 c347). The 1962-1975 RRWC register book was apparently transferred to and used by these successor agencies. ...
