REPORT OF BOARD OF
CONTROL STILL DELAYED

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. members
of the present legislature will prob.
ably have to keep on waiting for some
time for the printed reports of the
board of control of penal and charit-
able institutions. There has been con-
siderable of mixup over this report
and there was a committee appointed
to ascertain why they were not print
ed and sent to the state printer. The
committee reported that the party
having the printing to do stated that
they would be ready on certain date,
and claiming that they had so much
other business on hand that it had
been impossible for them to get the
state work out on contract time. The
reports were delivered Saturday, that
if fifty of them were. It was discov-
cred than that part of the report Of
the state engineer had been bound in
with some Of them, that the sigma
lures in others were badly mixed up
and that the binding was so poor in
others that parts of the book dropped
out when they were opened. Notice
was sent to the Journal Publishing
Co., OF Devils Lake, at the Bismarck
office and they sent man up to get
the reports that had been delivered.
1t is not likely that the reports will
be available soon enough to be of
much benefit at this session. 1t is the
one report that is wanted at this ses-
sion and there is considerable crit
icism over the way in which the lob
has been handled

Would Change Time of Cent
raj Committee Meeting---
May Change Tuition in
Model Schools.

Bismarck, N. D. Feb. 2.-President
Hillyer of the Mayville Normal school
was before the Lathrop investigating
committee all yesterday morning and
part OF the afternoon explaining
where the money goes" He was in
rather a different position to that of
some of the institution heads that
have appeared before the commit
tee for the reason that the Mayville
school has accumulated surplus in
stead of a deficit. The president
gave such facts and figures as were
asked by the committee. One Of the
matters gone into quite thoroughly by
| the committee was the proposition OF
the training school. The school is
asking for an appropriation for a
building, or rather asking that a part
of the surplus they havee put away
may be used for the erection of a
needed building.
There are only fifteen instructors
on the faculty and the president stat
ed that to none Of them has been a
raise in salary promised nor does he
| think any of them are looking for it..
He states that everyone of the teach
ers is employed to the limit of their
time and called attention to the fact
that hey are engaged for the ten
months and half of the school year
which includes the summer school for
which they receive no additional pay.
Taken all in all Mr.. Hillyer made a
good impression upon the committee.
Whether he will be given the new
building however remaines to be seen.
Yesterday afternoon the committee,
which has been holding it's meetings
in the Office of the state auditor went
down into the department Of the board
of control and started looking over
their requirements. The only PROPOSE
iton to be looked over there is at to
whether or not it will be possible to
cut down their demands for the ensu-
ing biennial period or not. There are
certain needs that must be taken care
of. DR.. Hotchkiss Of the penitentiary
was before them during the afternoon
explaining what the money asked was
needed for and why it is needed.
The committee will endeavor to
scale down the appropriations to fit
in with what the state has to supply
and will make such recommendations
to the legislature when it makes the
report. Hearings will be had on the
various institutions under the direc-
ton Of the board of control of penal
and charitable institutions and the sup
erintendents will probably all be call
ed in before the ened of the week.

IN, D, LEGISLATURE IN
FULL SWING AGAIN

lature for their approval, and is in line
with a number of bills already intro
duced.
Tuition in Model Schools.
Mr.. Peterson offered another bill
this afternoon that is going to meet
with the approval of a number of the
members of the house and senate and
is result of the investigation that
has been in process by the Lathrop in
vestigation committee. The bill p"a-
vides that in all towns or cities where
there is a state educational institu-
tion maintaining model, high, graded
or elementary school that the pupils
attending that school shall be made to
pay tuition fee of not less than $25
per year from model high schools and
not less than $40 per year for elemen-
tary or graded model schools. 1t was
brought out during the work Of the
Lathrop committee that in towns
where there were madel schools con-
Quoted at the state institutions there
were many children attending them
and that the entire expense was borne
by the state. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Peterson that the city should pay a
part of the expense at least of the
model schools.
Probe Committee Working.
The joint committee which has
been appointed to look into the
charges made against the board Of
control of penal and charitable insti-
| buttons has started it's work. There
was preliminary meeting held last
night and an outline of the work to be
done made. A number Of witnesses
will be called and examined and their
| testimony will be taken down by a
stenographer for use in the summing
up. Mr.. Rott who introduced the reso-
luton calling for the probe is said to
still insist that the resolution was en-
tirely his own idea and the he origin.
ated all the ideas contained in it and
that his sole inspiration was reports
in newspapers and excerpts from po-
litical addresses he heard during the
fall campaign last year. 1t is prob
able that Mr.. Rott will be one of the
most important witnesses to be called
before the committee.
There will be three important COM
mittees working for the next few
weeks, the one mentioned above, the
Lathrop committee investigating the
finances of the state and the commit
tee looking into the affairs of the tax
commission. There also remains the
! committee on the Haraldson resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of
the charges made against the state
examiner and the state banking board
by Grant S. Youmans of Minot This
committee has not been appointed as
, yet. The resolution has not been
adopted in the house as yet and after
it has it will have to go to the senate
so it will probably be a number OF
days before that committee is appoint
ed. When this committee is in oper-
alton it will mean that there are "a
members of the legislature who will
have to give practically all of their
! time to committee work for number
of days at least.
