to pay them, Mr.. Hall said. 4
We are created. board of audi

ity was unmistakable. The report of
the examination ought to be ready
for the legislature. TO accomplish
this the examination must be made
Immediately, and we propose to do
this.
There will be no political bias in
it. We will employ certified ac-
countants, from within or without the
state.
TO Ask Aid
"We have not found any account
ants who are able to finance the in.
vestigation. The industrial commits
sion has refused to provide money
for the investigation. The state en-
ergency commission will be asked 70
provide money out Of the contingency
fund. If they refuse, the legislature
will be asked to pay the amount. We
will guarantee payment ourselves
Mr.. Hall declared that he and Kc-
sitzky were strongly opposed to any
public subscription to provide for the
investigation. He said it was be-
meath the dignity OF the board to do
this and that the board was given
ample authority to act in the mat
ter.
Mr.. Hall, Mr.. Kostzky and Mr.
LANCER do not expect to go in the
bank themselves, unless to consult
the accountants. Their report, they
said, will be the report Of the ac-
cOuntants. ge@ev- =, SO
Governors View
Governor Frazier declared to the
Associated >Rress that he did not con-
slider it best, although it would be
legal, for the present board of audi.
tors to go ahead with the examina
ton OF the bank at this time.
"The examination of the bank is
a matter which could best be taken
up by the recently elected and not by
present board of auditors" Governor,
Frazier said. although, it is not a
matter for the state emergency board
and do not think the state should
pay for an examination at present
1t should be financed by an appro-
priation by the legislature"
'The same voters who passed the
initiative law elected the new Off
GERS who would constitute the board
OF auditors. Their intention was to
have an examination made by the
men they elected and that is the new
board, composed mostly of Nonpar-
tisans. The new board of auditors
would be composed of Thomas Hail.

Huge Majority
The majority of 1921 given to the
initiated measure providing for the
examination of the Bank Of North
Dakota was the largest majority on
any of the initiated laws, and larger
than the majority given any candidate
in the election.
The referred measure IS shown to
nave been killed. his was indical-
ed in scattering votes recorded be-
fore the official county. The measure
would have amended the law so as to
read as follows:
"In counties without courthouse
or a courthouse of not greater value
than twenty thousand dollars, the
question OF removal of county seat
is to be submitted to the voters upon
a petition to the board Of county
commissioners of majority of quail
flied electors of any such county
Proposition may be submitted at pri-
mary or general elections. Petitions
to be filed with county auditor, and
no /elector permitted to remove his
name after petition is filed and
further provision that on the peti-
ton of 100 electors the name of any
city, town or village may be placed
on the primary ballot, and that 1.-The
two towns receiving! the highest vote
at the primary election shall be plac~
ed, on the ballot for the first general
election and the one receiving the
highest number of votes shall be de-
signated as county seat and the ques-
ton of county seat removal shall not
again be voted on for four years in
the same county"
School Loans
The law which was defeated was
designed to make easier the problem
of getting the question of county seat
removal before the voters.
The constitutional amendment re-
garding investment Of school funds is
held important. 1t allows the board
of university and school lands to make
loans not exceeding one-half the
value of any subdivision on which the
amount may be loaned.

RECEIVED AND
FILED" ACTION
IN WATER CASE
Water Company's Letter of Re-
lection of City Offer is
Laid Aside
TALK SPECIAL ELECTION

The city commission received and
ordered filed at it's meeting last night
the reply of the Bismarck Water Sup
ply company through its attorneys, to
The citys OTTER of $z25,000 for the wa
ter company plant, in which the wa
ter company said it rejected the Of
fer but held open the offer of arbi-
tratiOn.
After discussion of the situation,
Commissioner Thompson moved thar
the city attorney be asked to give the
commission facts regarding steps
necessary to hold special election,
the limit of the city's bonding powers
and what could be done through a
bond issue or through issuance of i'm
provement warrants to construct Il
city water plant.
Mayor Lucas directed the city at
torney to report next week on these
questions.
Commissioner Bertsch suggested
that the city might issue bonds for
approximately $3O0,000 and raise the
rest OF the money necessary by the
sale Of improvement warrants. Com
missioner French asked if any COM
misisoners had heard any sentiment
for arbitration, and Mayor Lucas an
sWered that he had heard only what
Mr.. Hellstrom referred to.
Bond Limit Questions
Questions were asked as to the
bond limit Of the city. City Attor-
ney O'Hare said that there was con-
fusion over the status owing to the
legislative act limiting increases IN
taxes and bonding under the increas-
ed valuation, stating that the bond
limit in 1919 and 1920 must be based
on the 1918 valuation. 1t was fig
ured that the city's limit on bonds
under the valuation was about $780,
900, from which would be deducted
present bond issues.
City Engineer Atkinson was asked
questions as to what would be nee
essary for the city to do if the city
took over the present water company
plant. The discussion brought the
expression that it would take $780,
900 to 100000 to remodel the plant.
The commission ordered plans and
specifications drawn for the construc-
ton Of sanitary sewer on Avenue
A from Hannifin street to a point
$50 feet west of Hannifin. This sew
rr and another, on 18th street from
Avenue c to point 100 feet north
Of Avenue D will be constructed this
winter, it was SAID. Bids will be
received Dec. 20.
