WORK FAKES
TO GET CROP INSURED?
SUCH is OPINION OF SOME IN.
SURANCE COMPANIES IN NO.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 11.-That
certain farmers have through fraudu-
lent means procured the insurance of
crops already lost are the claims of
crop insurance companies which a.

ness.
Complaints were made to the state
insurance commissioner some time ago
alleging that insurance companies
which last spring wrote policies cov-
ering crops in a certain section of the
state were "reneging" on their bar
gain, and attempting to induce policy
holders to accept the return of their
premiums in lieu of the face value of
their policies.
According to the insurance corr
panies, there are two sides to this
question. In frequent instances, the
insurance companies claim, ~investiga-
ton has revealed that at the time
their policies were written crops in
sureo already were recognized as a to-
tai loss and we're plowed under soon
after the delivery of the policies. The
companies allege they face bankrupt
cy if they make an effort to meet all
of these alleged claims.
"The case is enc which merits the
closest investigation" said the insur-
ance commissioner today, land this
department does not care to commit
itself to a statement until it is in full
possession of the facts"

skill, labor and enterprise, and to the
nation commercial prosperity and in
dependence"

CITIZENS AND MEMBERS OF
BOARD HEAR PLANS FOR AL
TERING OLD BUILDING AND
MAKING CITY HALL OF IT.

At meeting called for the purpose
of discussing the future of the ole
high school last night in the new edu-
cational institution, members of the
township board and a dozen or more
representative citizens decided that
the city could put the abandoned
building to good advantage by trans
forming ii into city hall.
Mayor Bradford and members OF
the commission were present at the
meeting but were non-communicatiyt
on the subject under the plea that
they were there to be seen and not
heard" or in other words, they want
ed to listen to all the arguments both
pro and con without being called to
commit themselves on the question.
President Lorenzo Leland presided
at the session and short talks were
made by members of the board OF ed
ucation as well as citizens, and all
voiced themselves in favor of the city
buying the old structure and by max
ing few alterations suggested by
| Architect Jason r. Richardson, they
| decided the old school would make a
particularly desirable hall for munic
iral purposes.
The only protests against the cit,
purchasing the building were made
on the strength of its cut oftheway
ness, but this was finally decided to
| be no forceful objection as most all
city halls are placed outside the bust
ness district and that the school was
not much further from the heart
of the city than the one on Clinton
street, which was used or similar pur
poses a great number of years.
According to Air. Richardson's plans
the building could be remodelled for
a total consideration of not more
than $4,000. The building, experts
maintain, could not be constructed
with It's present materials, for less
than $50 600 or $4,000. The citizenr,
represented at the meeting, together
with members of the board of educa
tion, as lax payers, were deslriOus o
