fore leaving for Washington to make

ent they would have enough for two
years For Il year or more he added,
they have been using only the sur
plus of the cattle, keeping the base of
the herds intact.

When new joint rates from 500 line

daily at these points. creamery men
claim, and this business alone, they
claim. nets the eransfer company 346

creamery companies.
At the request of the creameries,
the cream rate ase have been re-

FROM DISTRICT T
BOARD SESSION
Adjournment Taken Pend
ing Returns Of Last Exam
ination of Registrars.

]. H. solstad Of this city, a member
of the district exemption board, has
returned to Grand Forks from Bis
to spend a few days with rel
atives during the adjournment Of the
board, which has caught up with all
Of the business to date and now
awaits returns from the last examina-
ton held on October Q.
The members Of the board will
again be- called to Bismarck some
time this week by Chairman L. e.
Birdzell, when the last claims filed
will be brought up for consideration.
Thousands of claims IN industrial
grounds and appeals yer the deci-
sions of the district boards have been
considered by the state officials.
When speaking of the claims and the
said:
Start Investigations.
I'm order to clear away the huge
number of claims that Showeredjupon

but little consideration to the affidavits
and w had no time in which to con
duct on investigation to ascertain as

that we are catching up with our

our decisions IN a great many.
Every claim that appears the least
bit doubtful to u 8 we are reporting
back to the local boards and to the
government appeal representatives
for investigation. In this manner we
can Justly make returns on every
claim filed.
We have not been soliciting aid
from any organization n from indi-
viduals to ascertain whether or not
u decisions are justifiable, but we
have given consideration to each
communication and the voluntary aid
that has been given US has been
much assistance. The claims, afl-
davits and records r open for public
inspection at any time and we feel
that persons furnishing us with in
formation are performing a patriotic
duty. 1t is only natural to assume
that we cannot give fair consideration
to every claim when we have thou
sands before us from all parts Of the
state. However, we are acting to the
best of our ability and I feel that we
are certain to reach the correct solu-
ton Of every problem that may arise,
although it may take some little time
to do so. Those who have been
granted exemption RI subject to call
for military service at any time, pro-
viding we reverse our decisions. Those
who have obtained release on unjusti-
fable grounds may expect to be called
at any time, as the Investigations un-
der way by the county boards and
the attorneys are certain to bring to
light their falsity,

and 1t was announced this morn
ing that a meeting would be called
late this afternoon when a recon-
mendation would be made to call a.
special meeting Of the city council for
the purpose of discussing the tele-
phone proposition and also the install.
lation Of the electrical machinery to
be used in the city plant.
AS the result of war conditions.
considerable trouble will be met with
obtaining the machinery and the al
derinen now plan on bending their ef-
forts towards obtaining an early ship
ment. 1t is planned to install the
machinery at an early date as it is
pointed out that a big saving will re-
suit for the municipality, II the pow
er company contract becomes effec-
tive sooner than had been anticipated.
Recommend Change.
That the physical connection Of
near future be a reality, is the opinion
Of the committee members. Aldermen
Whitman, chairman OF the COMMITTEES
stated this morning that In every
city thai was visited where the Joint
service has been adopted, the num-
cipal officials and the patrons are we'll
satisfied with the service rendered and
it is claimed that all Of the incon-
veniences caused by the two lines. is
done ava with.
A special session Of the city conn-
Gil will be called within the next few
days when the recommendation of the
committee will be made. The con-
nection Of the lines will be advocated
and it is anticipated that within a
short time the double service will be
given to patrons.
While the Tri-State and Northwest
ern Telephone companies in Grand
Forks concede that 1t is possible to
connect the two lines. in the official
report made to the city council. such
action was discouraged and 1t was in
timated that the adoption of h sys-
! tenn would be unsatisfactory.
The reports from Owatonna. Mimi,
GAINESVILLE and Lacrosse, Wis. are In
contrast to the discouragement. how
ever, and it is expected that litigation
will not be necessary to bring about
the change.
