County Judge VIM. Murray has ad-
dressed a communication to the board
Of county commissioners which is be-
ing considered today. In it, the
Judge advises the board to call an
investigation of all Of the 70 pen
sions which have been granted, some
Of which have been paid for the past
three years. Mr.. Murray suggests
that an investigation may show that
some now receiving pensions, may not
be entitled to the pensions, or to as
much money as they have been re-
ceiving, while others may be entitled
to more money.
The granting of the mothers pen
sions has been in the hands of the
county judge, who does not feel that
he should assume all of the respon-
sibility. He suggests that the law
should be changed, empowering the
county commissioners to grant those
pensions. Judge Murray has been
careful in granting pensions, exercis-
ing all the care possible, but he real
ICES that it is not always possible for
him to secure all the facts that one
should know before granting these
pensions. He has made it the prac-
tice in the past to set date for the
hearing, Is days after application is
received, notifying the commissioner
from the district in which the appli-
cant resides, together with the three
township supervisors. Very rarely
have the supervisors appeared, but in
one case recently, they did appear,
advising against granting the pension
applied for, and consequently, the pen
sion was not granted.
The Judge in his communication to
the commissioners has submitted q set
of questions, which if answered will
give what information is needed at
arriving at conclusion. The inves-
tigation will include the locating of
the former husbands, should they be
living. Many of those receiving
have been granted alimony, which
their former husbands now refuse to
pay. Warrants will be issued fo1
such husbands in those cases and ef-
forts made to bring them to time
compelling them to support their chill

THE HAVRE PLAN OF
Interesting Communication From w
X. Bond in Regard to Building

The following letter addressed to C.
D. See, chairman of the Housing Com
mittee of the Association of Commerce
relative to how Havre, Mont, looks
after securing homes for those who
wish them is Of particular interest
at this time when a number of our
business men are thinking about or
ganizing Home Owners Association
for Minot. The letter follows:
Mr.. Clarence D. See, Chairman,
Housing Committee,
Association of Commerce,
Minot, N. D.
My Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry as to the
operation of a Home Builders Society
al Havre, Montana, I beg to say that
the citizens of that city got together
in 1918 and organized the Home
Builders Investment Company and OBJ
tanned q charter for $250,OOO At the
first meeting about $50, 900 of the cap
ital stock was sold and they have
been operating successfully ever
sirce, having built fifty-five modern
Dwellings,, one hotel building, one
garage, q brick block and two modern
apartments.
The plan that they follow now is
that the affairs of the company are
managed by a Board of Directors con-
sisting of nine members elected each
year. These men employ a manager
who has sole charge of the details
of the company's business. Houses
are built on the following plan: The
builder must have a clear lot in a
good location or it's equivalent in cash
and 10 per cent of the estimated price
of the house which he wishes to build.
This cash is turned in together with
a deed for the lot to the Home Build
efs' Company and a contract is return
ed to the builder allowing him to pay
for his home by the month, the pay
ments on the principal being about 10
per cent more than the house would
rent for together with the interest.
All contracts to be paid up in full on
or before five years. When a man
ager has made arrangements for the
sale Of the house, he gets bids on the
material and labor and let's his con-
tract and by buying in large quantities
and always paying cash, he is able to
get better prices than the small build
er.s
The monthly payments now bring in
Z little over 100000 per month and
quite number Of their five year con-
tracts have been cashed in one and
two years, SO that the average con-
tract does not run more than -four
years.
The common stock in the Havre
company has paid very Satisfactory
dividend to the stockholders, and has
been a big factor in developing the
city.
Ny plan for an association of this
kind for Minot would be similar ia
the one outlined above except it would

In another case, a woman was getting

she learned that under no circum-
stances would she receive q pension.
She changed her mind hurriedly.

The Judge believes that the law
