STORAGE OF GRAIN.
An Agreement Arrived at Whereby
the Elevators Will Receive
Grain for Storage.
The Board of Railroad Commission
ers Succeed in Bringing Form
Out Of Chaos.
The State License Will Be Paid, and
the Price for Storage Remains
as Heretofore.

the Price for Storage Remains
as Heretofore.
A self-Explanatory Circular.
The recent meeting of the railroad
commissioners with representatives of
the elevator companies-together with
the opinion of Attorney General Good
win-resulted in a compromise which
will make the elevators of North Dakota
public warehouses again, and thus re-
lieve those farmers who desire to store
their grain from the necessity of ship
ping to eastern markets rs soon as their
grain is threshed. The laws passed by
the last legislature are ambiguous and
conflicting some of the provisions
doubtless unconstitutional. The whole
matter has been compromised, and the
moral support of the railroad commits
sioners will be exercised in behalf of the
elevator companies should any question
arise in the next legislature as to the le-
gality of the action. By this compro-
mise the state license will be paid, no
county license or bond required and the
charge for storage will he the same as
for the two years past, instead Of the
prices fixed by the act Of last winter.
The following circular explains itself:
To the Public:
In view of the existing difficulties in ref
erence to the conflicting provisions of the
elevator and warehouse laws of the state,
we would make the following statement:
A conference was held with the elevator
companies in Minneapolis, Wednesday,
August Is, 1890, at which they claimed that
they could not do business under the exist
ing laws for the following reasons:
First. That the rates of storage allowed
under chapter 1877 are unreasonable.
Second. That section 10 of chapter 1877,
which provides that "when a storage re-
ceipt is issued for any kind of grain. the
quality of which falls below the highest
standard, then such storage receipt shall
expressly state how many cents per bushel
below the price for the highest grade, such
grain shall be bought at when sold" is an
unreasonable provision and an unjust
restrlctlon u traue.
Third. The uncertainty of the conflict
ing laws providing for license laws re
curing three different licenses being on
the statute books.
Reinp unable to arrive at any conclusion,
tho .ttornov oonaro, uas askad for a writ.
