TO 0BURKECOUNIY
BY BANK OF N. D.
Garnishment Proceedings
Started by That County
Will be Abandoned.
(By Staff Correspondent, :,

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 24.-Settle-
ment has been made of the garnish-
ment action instituted by Burke
county against the Bank of North Da-
kota to secure the return Of county
public funds.
All funds of the county deposited
by the treasurer in the Bank Of North
Dakota have been transferred to pri-
vate banks of the county. This was
accomplished by the issuance of a
draft by the. Bank Of North Dakota to
the county for $1,000, the rest of the
transaction being merely question
Of book transfer.
Under the terms of the agreement,
both general funds and funds for the
retirement Of bonds have been re-
turned to the county.
AS a result of this agreement the
garnishment action instituted BY the
county, which tied up all funds Of the
Bank of North Dakota in the banks
of the county, will be abandoned.
There was some surprise when the
news of this agreement leaked out,
since Attorney General William Lemke
had only yesterday. perfected his ap-
peal from the decision of the district
court in a similar case in Sargent
county, and the hearing of the sar-
gent county action had been set for
next Wednesday.

st. Augustine. Fla, Feb. 24.-(By
the Associated Trcss)-As President

his cabinet. he is giving increasing
attention to the first big adminstra-
tive task he will undertake as presi-
dent-the reorganization of the ex-
ecutlve machinery of the government.
Delayed plans have not yet taken
form, but it is known that MIR. Hard

many of the governments depart

Congress already has created a
committee to work out a plan for sim
plification of the executive branch
with Il view to preventing duplication
OF work and cutting down the govern
ment payroll. 1t is expected that this
committee will work in close co opera

noon.
Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 24.-There
was a free-for-all row in the legisla-
ture this afternoon in the course of
which an attempt was made to cite
L. l.. Twichell, speaker of the house,
before the senate on contempt
charge and which later caused the
speaker to call on the sergeant at arms
Of the house to compel Dell Patterson,
the pugnacious gentleman from Rem
vile county, to take his seat.
How it Started.
The row started when the house re-
Quested the senate to return two bill
passed and meNsaged to the senate
last night in which defects had been
found and on which reconsideration
was desired. This was refused. Speak
or Twichell had gone into the senate
chamber to see what could be done
about getting the bills back when Sen
ator Bowman, Of LaMoure, made his
attack on Twichell
In answer to a motion of the pre-
vious question Bowman got up and
said that Speaker Twichell, who was
then in the senate chamber had stated
on the floor of the house that 1.-THE
senate had invoked the previous ques-
tion 10 times as often as the house. .
Bowman therefore moved that the
sergeant at arms be instructed to
x bring the .spea @e- Of the, houseSbefaTe
the bar of the senate and that Ne-be
required to- apologize for his remarks
Z A vote was taken on Bowman's mo-
tion and Lieutenant Governor Howard
w. Wood ruled that the motion was
lost. This was generally regarded as
an effort on Woods part to bring the
row to an end.
Patterson Interrupted,
The speaker then returned to the
house chamber and proceeded to make
a statement as to what had occurred
in the senate. Dell Patterson interrupt
ed with a motion that the house ad-
journ. Twichell ruled that the inter
ruption was out of order.
Patterson refused to take his seat
and continued his interruption. finally
the speaker called on the sergeant al
arms to make the gentleman from
Renville sit down. At the same time he
delegated Represe ntative Durkee OF
Richland, the biggest man in the
house, as his assistant.
1t looked like a fight but just as the
sergeant at arms reached Patterson

Several other members were or

Too large an amount OF appropria.

many counties to meet, as | under
stand the expense OF government is so
high in many counties that there is
very little left for county road funds.
After the plan is in operation it would

made to balance up the needed in

1t seems to be generally considered
that Township Commissioners are
! blamed individually for a great deal Of
our poor roads, but apparently, they are
the victims of an unorgauzed system
and have little chance Of getting much
further than an army would get which
started ont to fight without organiza-
ton. In 1920 the townships in Bureau
/ County raised $257.OOO for road work,
! but it seems they have very little to
show tor the expenditure of thes e
funds. That amount on their total
of l.4l5 miles of roads, is an average
Of 1881 per mile You will notice that
the figure compares very tayorably
with what is being used in Wisconsin
for efficient patrol maintenance or
heavy Travelled roads.
It seems that some Of the tow
