RECORDS OPEN; STAR

ANY evidence upon which charges

comely received said Associate JUS
tice Luther E. Birdzell, chairman OF
the North Dakota state exemption

brought by the Loyal Legion of Grand
Forks and other patriotic organlZa-
tons.
I'VE have proceeded very carefully
said Chairman BirdZell, land we have
not found anything which even limited
of irregularity in any of the claims
upon which we have passed or in the
aftidavits accompanying them. The
board has full power to revoke dis
charges at any time, and it has done
this in a large number of cases in
which additional evidence has been
submitted. | wish to assure any citi-
zen of any county in North Dakota
who has any proof in his possession
that there has been anything improper
in connection with the procuring OF
discharges from this board that his
complaint will receive prompt, care
full and courteous consideration"
Records Are Open.
All of the records OF the district
board have been open at all times to
the press So far as can be learned
there have been no star chamber ses-
sions. Today reporter was urged
to remain in the board room while
three sets of claimants from different
parts of the state we're heard. The
cases all appeared on their face to be
worthy of favorable consideration, but
in each instance the board had al
ready denied a discharge, basing it's
action upon more complete report
on all phases of the case. All OF the
afIidavits filed in support of claims
have been placed at the disposal Of
the press, and reporters after a dill
gent search through the records OF
counties from which the most COM
plants have come have been unable
to find anything suspicious. The atfi.

On Monday evening about $50 citi-
zens of Augusta met at City hall to
attend the annual school meeting, the
call to the meeting being read by
Chairman Wilson of the Board of Ed
ucation. On motion of Supt. of
Schools H. H. Stuart, Mayor Willis
f. Swift was chosen moderator.
City Clerk Burleigh Martin was
chosen secretary and the report of
the Board of Education was then
brought up for passing. The reading
of the report was dispensed with on
account of it's having been published
some time ago, but Mr.. Wilson spoke
briefly of the expense account OF the
past year, and stated that at present
the schools on the West side of the
river are ample to accommodate the
full number of pupils, he also said
that today the Lincoln school is
modern building. lacking only the
heating and ventilating system for
which there were not sufficient funds
available. He spoke of the fact that
the Smith school repairs cost $500
more than the estimate, and said that
would have to be increased $1,000 and
this was due to the general rise of
all materials.
He said that the budget this year
would have to be increased $1,000 and
that this was due to the fact that coal
which cost 81 per ton last year, IS 81
per ton this year. that the salaries OF
the teachers must in many cases be
increased, as many OF them are now
getting less than $500, that paper and
books have increased in price TO a
great extent and that three new teach-
ers must be added at Lincoln school
this year. He stated that the increase
in the budget is not guess work, put
has been most carefully worked out.
The report was then accepted by a
unanimous vote.
The moderator then stated the next bus-
mess, the appropriation of s4i,97266 for the
support of the public schools for the com
ing year, and this was passed without dis
cussion by a general vote, the motloh LOT
massage being made by DR.. W. 5. Thomp-
son.
The next business was the appropriation
bv the city Of the sum of slIo FOR the
rental of land for playground for the
Williams school, the original appropria-
ton asked being $50, Samuel Tltcomn
asking that SITS be appropriated and'that
the land be tax exempt. There was OPP
position to this amendment but 1t was
passed, the vote being 81 for and III
against it's passage.
It was then moved that the sum OF
sls73.92 be raised by bond issue or other
wise to pay the balance on the remodeling
of the Smith school building, and Mayor
Swift and the city treasurer were author-
lied to make such a loan. acting IN pehail
of the city in the matter
The next matter was the proposed rails
ing Of the sum of sS130s to pay the eX-
penses of completing the Lincoln schooi
building. and the mayor and treasurer
were authorized to arrange a loan Tor
this purpose.
Or Thompson then asked the meeting
