The appraisers of the public buildings
at Fort Pembina completed their work
on Monday and find that there is large
amount Of property there of which the
value is quite indefinite. There isn't
much doubt that the property cost the
government very large sum, or that
after removal to other places it would
still have considerable value, but what
it is worth in its present condition and
locality, is another question. However,
when the government gets ready to sell,
Of which they doubtless will give ample |
time and notice, then the buyers will be |
able to appraise for themselves, and if it |
goes as government sales have usually
gone in this locality,the government will
realize pretty nice sum in total, though
the appraisal is not very great.
