anniversary Of North Dakota's state
hood is to be appropriately %celebrat-

will be selected for places on the
program to show this development
who are especially fitted for the sub
jects they will handle.
Few details Of the big event have
yet been worked out. but one feature
decided upon is to have a represen-
tation of the arrangement Of the old
constitutional convention. draping the
seats Of the deceased members and
having the survivors present. About
half are alive. some of them being
now residents of other states. 1t is
proposed to have this feature entirely
in charge of the survivors. Many
historic matters are expected to be
brought out in this way. .4....,

ed. The others will be appointed as
the details are worked out. Those SO

I When Flossie Brown. who gave her

the people of Richmond, Va, by ap-

THINK $9S,000
IS DUE COUNTY
Morton Tax Records Minus
100000 Worth of Prop
erty on Right of Way.

. Mandan, n. D.. July 23.-Complete
examination of the tax records of
Morton county. bearing on the ques-
ton of property that has escaped
taxation. indicates that approximately
$4,000 600 worth of property has never
been assessed. 1t will be possible to
! collect a total of only about $4,000
in back taxes. as taxes six years in
arrears are outlawed when the pro-
perty has never been assessed.
The property is owned largely by
line elevator companies and Is stu
ated on railroad right of way. There
IS a provision in the law governing
taxes that railroad right of way,
leased for other purposes, shall be
assessed separately, while the elevator
companies and other lessees have
maintained that they were exempt
from taxation.
States Attorney Biting will enforce
collection of the back taxes by tax
foreclosures unless the companies
make a settlement. The board of
county commissioners has given him
authority to proceed with such action
as may be necessary to enforce he
collections.
Another feature that will add to
Morton county's tax rolls is in the
discovery Of patented homestead lands
that have ont been assessed hereto
fore. While these lands were proved
up. the homesteaders had not filed
their patents. and that fact has re-
suited in the failure to assess. 1t ia
understood that there is about 40, 900
acres Of land that has escaped taxa-
ton.
