Good Condition.
Vast Improvementsof States Financial

Four Years. .

State Auditor Carlblom left this aft
ternoon for his home at Forman after
completing some work at the state cap
itol. Mr.. Oarlblom and his family
have been out in California for a four
weeks "trip, and returned recently.
The auditors health is not good, and
after his term of office expires he will
take a vacation and seek to improve his
condition. When his term of office
ends DIN january and he turns his Office.
over to his successor, it will be a diff
ferent legacy that he will transmit
from that which was Left him when he
assumed office. Then thare were TN
paid obligations of the state on the
auditors desk amounting to many
thousands of dollars and the state was
$$250,0OO to 100000 in debt, a debt
that the ensuing administrations were
called upon to liquidate. In the four
years that he has been auditor MI.
Carlblom has seen the debt of the state
paid until at the first of the coming
Year the state will be out of debit, >ex-
cept for its bonded indebtedness, and
its obligations all paid. In that good
work Mr.. Carlblom's assistance has
been valuable to the state administra-
tion.
II will leave the office of state aud
itor at the first of the year," said MI.
Carlblom today, feeling that I have
done my duty and that my record is
clear before the people of the state who
have honored me with two terms in
the office. The debt of the state has
been paid, the taxes have not been in
creased, and while the state board of
equalization has increased the valua-
tion of the state, it has not been an in
crease THAT has kept pace with the
normal increase in the value of prop
erty in North Dakota. Lands every
where have Increased i'm value, and the
figures placed by the state board have
not kept pace with the market increase,
SO that there a be no complaint of
burdensome taxation. At the present
time taxes I coming into the state
treasurer liberally. In january the
moneys received from the delinquent
tax sales through the state will be re-
ceived, and this will be an important
addition to the states resources. The
taxes for the current year will also be
received largely in january and Feb
ruary. This will aid the state off,
calls in taking care of Legislative ex-
Denses." .
Mr.. Carlblom has been in. office for
twelve years" For eight years he was
county auditor of Sargent county, and
for -four years he has been state audi
tor. In that long term of public SER
vice he has been a competent and cour-
teous official, and his record in Office
should be a source of satisfaction.

SMYRNA LOAN CREDITORS
WILL RECEIVE 80 PERCENT
ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS
OF THE SMYRNA BUILDING AND LOAN
Directors Hope to Make Full Liquidation BY
December the twenty-third and Pay the
Creditors Over Eighty Per Cent.

An adjourned meeting of the dlrec-
tors of the Smyrna Building and Loan
Association was held last evening
when matters relative to final settle
ment and liquidation of the affair of
said Association were adjusted. At
torney George M. Jones of Dover was
present and the entire business re-
lative to the Loan was gone over. 1t
is hoped to be able to have all payments
IN so that full liquidation can be made
on December the twenty-third. The
per centage to be paid the creditors
will be slightly higher than was first
anticipated, which will be over eighty
per cent.
The management is to be given every
credit for the business like manner in
which they have conducted thei affairs
OF this defunct organization. Com
pared with other Loans in like con-
dition, the Smyrna Loan has done re-
markably we'll, and should be most
gratifying to the shareholders. 1t
looks now as if thorough liquidation
would be made before Christmas. It
was but little over six months ago
that the Loan Association became in
solvent and the quickness of dispatch
with which the directors have brought
about settlement has been highly
ereditable.
