by State Treasurer Obert Olson in
his quarterly to the governor
According to Treasurer Olson's
report the state Of North Dakota
now has on deposit a total balance
Of %, 058, 7O2. 95. This money is
apportioned among 88 different
funds Of which one, the general
fund, has balance Of 1852, 759. 10.
On April /. 1919, the general
fund only had a balance Of %, 800.
and there were some $3.50, 600. in
unpaid warrants outstanding
against all the funds. Kositzky
used these figures in an effort to
make the voters believe the state
was bankrupt. He ignored the
fact that at that time there was on
deposit in the various state funds
more than s2,40O. GOO. He also
ignored the fact that the general

RESTRICTION OF
LAND SALES IN
BRADFORD ASKED
BY JOHN c. TRIcE.

Tallahassee, May THE state
prison farm seems to be a cause for
considerable annoyance to the people
of Bradford colnty. Last session the
delegation from that county asked for
a law taxing the lands belonging to
the farm, on the grounds that the
board of state institutions were buy
ing up the lands so fast and taking
them off the tax rolls that the county
would soon be impoverished.
Now they are asking the legisla-
ture to pass a law forbidding the
board of state institutions from buy
ing any more lands in the county
except in certain cases as therein
provided. Mr.. Crews, of Bradford, this
afternoon introduced a bill in the
house to this effect. It also author
ICES, empowers and directs the board
to offer for sale not less than five
thousand acres of the land now owned
by the farm, and fixes the sale price
of same at eight dollars per acre,
giving preference to those living adj
jacent to the lands to be sold.
Mr. Crews states that some eighteen
or twenty thousand acres of lands are
owned by the farm. or this number
about four thousand acres are under
cultivation, and about the same is UNI
der fence for pastures. The policy
of the board OF state institutions, he
says. in buying all around the ad !
jacent settlers, thereby compelling
them to dispose of places they want
to hold on to is particularly objec-
tionable to the affected residents Of
the county, and the bill is intended to
afford them protection.

$4,000 to $40, 900. the other cutting

efforts of Senators Mac Williams and
Lowry.
In support of his motion to recon
slider the reducing amendments. Sena
tor Lowry said he had gained some
additional data which he read These
figures itemized the costs of the heat
ing plant AMI laundry for the college
here, and the senator said they were
reasonable.
Senator Singletary said the matter
had been threshed out when the bin
was before the senate before and that
$4,000 was enough for the heating
plant because all of the buildings now
had individual heating plants and the
fixtures installed, the erection of the
central plant and connecting of the
buildings with it being all that was
necessary.
They want to use the money for
something else he declared, land
they ought to come here and ask this
senate for what they want. not take
money appropriated for one thing and
do something else with it as they have
done in the past He referred to the
organ appropriated for and never
bought. THE college authorities took
some of the money set aside for feed
ing our girls out there and used it
to build barns on property which they
were not authorized to purchase We
all remember how the children at the
Women's College We're complaining
two years ago about not having
enough to eat. They bought the farm
and erected barns on it without au-
thority from the legislature using
funds appropriated for other pur-
poses" said Senator Singletary. ..They
want to build a laundry now with
some of this heating plant money"
Senator Lowry asked him if An
amendment had not already been tack
ed on this bill making the repetition
of that practice impossible.
The senate voted to reconsider, but
on the adoption of the amendment re-
ducing the appropriation for a central
heating plant from 100000 to 10000,
the amendment was again adopted

Senator Lowry, are 100000 for the
State Hospital at Chattahoochee, and

tiCnal institutions under the board OF
