MAKING REFU ND
IN TAXES FOR
CITY TAX LEVY
Rebate of 1.8 Mills Being Paid
as Result of Court De-
cisiOn 49,.

Refunds on taxes are being mailed
to Bismarck taxpayers from the office
of r, T.. Flaherty, county auditor.
They are accompanied by the ex'
planation that "the tax levy of 1919
was held excessive by the supreme
court, the city tax was reduced $13,-
500 and as result all persons having
paid 1919 taxes prior to Nov. I, 1920,
are entitled to a refund of 1.8 mills
on the valuation of their property"
The refunds are being sent direct
to taxpayers, and the work will be
completed shortly, so that no one need
apply personally for the rebate.

Mr.. Cathro's Exclamation.

Mr.. Cathro's Explanation.
There were only brief questions
asked of Mr.. Cathro in the house hear.
ing today as to the Bank of North Da'
kota being unable to pay its bills.
In conversation with reporter Mr..
Cathro said that this situation existed.
Withdrawals from county banks were
ordered last night and early today,
he said They are ordered to transfer
money into Minneapolis reserve banks
and have not done so. The practice is
for an official to give state check
or warrant, The sends it to bank anu
this bank sends it to the Bank of
North Dakota. The Bank of North
Dakota sends the warrant to its Min
neapolis reserve banks. The reserves
there have not been built up by rede-
posits from the country banks. 1t is
said that over s12o.0oo Of drafts issued
by the Bank of North Dakota have
been unpaid in Minneapolis since last
Friday. .-..
If the country banks meet the with.
drawals he said, the Bank of North
Dakota will pay. If they do not the
bank will still be unable to pay, un-
less money obtained through loan
or sale of bonds. ...
Explains Bond Rule.
: Harold Hopton. manager OF the state
bonding department, confirmed the
Beach report that his department had
laid down rule to all public treas
urers that unless they deposit money
in the Bank of North Dakota the bond
department will cancel their bonds.
This action, he said, was taken be-
cause the bond departments lnVestl-
cation of the law has led it to the con-
clusion that there now is no law un-
der which public officials who are Gus
todians of funds have any right to ap1
point public depositary. Thus, he
said, if the treasurers do not deposit
money in the Bank of North Dakota
they are depositing it on their own . e.
sponsibility. and the bond department
will not accept the responsibility OF
being liable on their bonds.
He said the initiated law that re-
pealed the compulsory requirement OF
depositing in the Bank Of North Da'
kota did not provide for the aaminb
of depositaries by treasurers.
There are some who look upon the
hond departments action as nat
ural compliment Of the Industrial
commissions effort to cause treasur-
ers to continue depositing public
money in the Bank OF North Dakota.
Would Compare Elements.
The temperance of Townley on
the scene here today led to the be-
lief that he would make an effort
to compose the views of members
of his own organization. Some OF
them, including Governor Frazier
and Attorney-General Lemke, and at
least two leading senators, are out
spoken in their stands against any
liquidation of the Bank of North Da-
kota, any acceptance of the bankers
compromise plan under which they
would undertake the. sale of bonds
or any compromise whatever, as Mr..
Townley has advised.
However, there are some league
members of the legislature, as well
as Independents, who believe tina,
