MACDONALD TO.
BE BANK. EXAMINER,
Is CAPITOL REPORT
Especial to tho Herald

Bismarck, N. D.. April, o.-There IL
current at the capitol A rnmor said to
be based on q statement made by a
prominent Lacquer to the effect that
Neil &. Macdonald. former state sup
erintendent Of public instruction. is to
be named bank examiner, to succeed
j. r. Waters. who has been made
manager Of the Bank of North Da-
kota-
Mr.. Macdonald's previous expert
enc has been entirely along educa-
tionali lines, and the probability of his
being selected for a.. post requiring a
certain amount of technical expert
ence in banking is scoffed by insiders.
It has generally been believed that
Mr.. Macdonald will find a place on
the board of administration created
by Senate Bill 1874, to take over the
duties Of the superintendent of pub
lie instruction., the state board tof
regents, the state board Of control and
the board of education, should this
act meet with the approval Of the
people at the referendum election to
be held in July. A number Of league
officials. however, are strongly OPP
posed to this act, and there Is a very
grave possibility that the electors may
reject it at the polls. In this event,
Mr.. Macdonald would then be with
out a state job. unless some other
place should be found for him.
It is said that no bank examiner
will be appointed Immediately.
