HALL WON'T SIGN BONDS


Business will continue as usual at
the state capitol until the new admin
istration takes ONCE, according to Of
dcials.
The Industrial Commission, at a
meeting late yesterday, continued
preparations to sign up additional
bonds and deliver more mortgages on
which the bond issues are based. It
was said that the Bank of North Da-
kota and other activities would con-
tinue to function the same as before
the election. gEt
Thomas Hall, secretary OF state, re-
fused to affix his name to mill and
elevator bonds and real estate bonds.
His reason for refusing to do so was
that a mortgage on the mill and ele-
vator property had not been filed, on
which to base the bond issue and that
additional real estate mortgages had
not been delivered at the time.
1t is expected that the bond issue
matter may be brought to issue with
in a few days, when the supreme
court sets the Jamestown case" for
argument. There are some Inde-
pendents who oppose the sale of any
more bonds until Mr.. Nestos is in Of
flee, at figure below par.
Would Deliver Bonds.
1t was said by member of the In
dustrial Commission that Splitter,
Rorick and company have asked for
the delivery Of more bonds, and the
commission intends to do this.s Gov
ernor Frazier received the following
telegram from Carl D. Thompson, who
had, been employed in the bond sale,
reading as follows: "Shall advise
Cincinnati union to buy 100000 of
North Dakota bonds or not? Their
board in session" Governor Frazier
replied: Heartily recommend North
Dakota bonds. They must be pur-
chased through Splitter, Rorick and
company of Toledo"
1t was said that the Bank of North
Dakota would continue to function as
usual
There lis considerable speculation at
the capitol as to the changes which
may be made after the new admin
istration takes Offices. Some 1nde-
pendents, taking their cue perhaps
from the statements Of r. A. Nestos
that fairness will rule his Office, do
not expect q house cleaning immedi-
ately, but expect many employees to
be continued in their positions.
