EX-TREASURBR
OF BUR K E co.
UNDER ARREST
Lawrence Larsen Charged With
Embezzlement of 100000
of County Funds
MAY BE IMPORTANT CASE
Several Questions of Law Af-
fecting Other Treasurers
May Be Decided

lBowbells, N. D., July 28.--Lawrcac CO
Larsen, former treasurer of Burke
county, has been arrested on q war.
rant charging embezlement r,f $780,
600 county funds which he placed in
several Burke county banks on time
deposit. The warrant was sworn
out by J. II. Jensen, Nonpartisan
county treasurer, wtD succeeded lar.
| sen, who is an Independent.
The situation in Burke county may
develop into test Of law which will
affect a great many counties in the
state. 1t was charged that Treasurer
Larsen, before he left Office, placed
ficates In various banks, tying up the
funds. "A case somewhat similar in
this aspect was that ,f former Treas
urer Knappen in Burleigh county, in
which the general fund was ordered
paid to the succeeding treasurer, al
though it is alleged Larsen tied up
all the funds while knappen left a.
checking balance.
Treasurer Larsen, however, was al.
legged to have placed money in private
banks in Burke county before de-
positary law was enacted by the 1921
session Of the legislature or before
the banks had qualified as deposi-
taries t.'.
The law involved in this matter af-
fects many counties where, between
the time the initiated law permitting
Withdrawals from the Bank of North
Dakota became effective last Decem,
ber and the passage of the deposit
tary act on March and its sigma
ture by the governor a few days later
many treasurers placed funds in priv
ate banks. Whether or not a treas
urer had any authority under the
initiated law to take such action may
be determined in this suit. District
Judge Buttz held in a similar case
that he had mot such authority. 3d..

HOME BUILDERS
PLAN TO SELL
SURPLUS STOCK
May Dispose of Material in Far
70, Bismarck and Mandan
in Near Future
WAITING ON BOND SALE
Whether or Not More Houses
Are Built Depends Upon
Sale of Bonds

Plans are under way to dispose ol
all surplus material of the. Home
Builders Association of North Dakota
j. B. Adams, manager, said today
Following his return from Grand
Forks where he sold some material
Mr. Adams said he expected to dis
pose OF surplus material In Fargo,
Bismarck and Mandan.
Mr.. Adams said that there are no
new projects contemplated because
bonds have not been sold. He also
is opposed to the state carrying huge
stocks of material, If the Home
Builders Association is continued.
I'VE figure that the handling costs
Of materal are about 81 percent" said
MIR. Adams, "and we have had one Of
fer to furnish material at a Is per-
cent charge over wholesale price"
The inventory Of surplus material
on hand in the association showed
the amount to be about $4,000 the
first of the year, he said 1t has since
been decreased somewhat.
The Home Builders Association is
now about $1,000 to $4,000 in debt on
current bills, 1t was stated by Mr..
adams. He declared, however, that
sale Of surplus material and pay
ments of home builders would give
the association funds to meet its pres
ent obligations. The association was
given an appropriation of 100000
when it began business and has an
annual appropriation of $500 for
salaries for the next two years.
1t is not expected that any new
work will be started this summer by
the association because of lack of
building funds. 1t undertook the con-
struction or purchase of % houses in
Bismarck, in Coleharbor, in I'm
derwood and % in Fargo. Some are
not completed, although Mr.. Adams
said that the program was 80 percent
complete.
Negotiations are under way for
the signing of contracts with home
builders, contracts not having been
previously signed. Mr.. Adams has
been in charge Of the association but
few months.
