. BONDING
DEPARTMENT.
FOR STATE

Bismarck N. D., Jan. Is
The fact that 1t has cost the state
such an enormous sum for clerk
hire for only the first twenty days
off, the session has astonished
both the members of the house
and senate and it is now predict
ed that when Senator Oyerson's
bill returns from the committee
and is put on final passage that it
will pass both branches almost
unanimously. 1t is admitted now
that it will mean great saving
to the state and will furnish the
state with more efficient help than
it has ever had.
Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. Ex-senator
Ellingson of steele county introduced
a bill this afternoon to create a bond
ing department in connection with
the state examiners Office to provide
for the state issuing bond to the
county officers over the state. Two
years ago a law was enacted COM
pelling county officers to furnish a
surety bond and bonding companies,
raised the rates to extremes.
Prior to that law counties that only
paid a fee of 5000 for premium for
these bonds were compelled to pay $500
this last year as a result of the bond
ing companies trust, and there has
been no, small amount of agitation
against this system. Under Filing
sons measure the highest rate will be
but so cents per hundred up to the
first $4,000 and the fees paid by the
counties revert to the state and be-
sides viii be a great saving to the
counties of the state. 1t is predicted
that Ellipgson's bill will receive hearty
support in both branches.

ed in the senate this afternoon when
