ORDER Is HIT
IN NEW SUITS
Garnishrent Proceedings Di.
rectly Challenges Order
Against Checks
SEVERAL SUITS FILED

The order of the Industrial Commits
sion against cashing checks of politi-
cal subdivisions which do not continue
to do business with the Bank of North
Dakota is directly challenged in gar
nishment proceedings instituted under
a new petition this week by Surrey
township, Ward county, in the district
court of Burleigh county.
. Asking that the Bank of North Da-
kota be compelled to pay $1,315.31 due
the school district the petition says
that plaintiffs, as officers Of Surrey
township have by due resolution
directed the deposit of the funds of
said township in an institution other
than the defendant bank CBank of
North Dakota) and by reason thereof
is estopped and denied the right OF
withdrawing from the defendant bank
any of it's funds now deposited there
in, and payment of checks or drafts
thereon by the treasurer of said town.
ship are refused by the defendant, and
such funds thereby wrongfully with
held from said township and said
township deprived Of the use and
benefit thereof when necessary"
The petition cites the initiated law
and recites the resolution of the Indus
trial Commission with regard to with
drawals.
New angles introduced in new petit
tions filed in garnishment actions in
the court here include the direct suit
against the Bank Of North Dakota
for funds. Presumably this follows
the ruling Of the majority of the su'
preme court that the Bank Of North
Dakota can be sued as private in
stitution.
The village of Oriska, Barnes coun.
ty, asks $1,2S5.36 from the Bank OF
North Dakota, alleged to be belonging
to the village.
Mckenzie county has filed a new
garnishment petition naming 30 banks
in that county, among other recent
garnishment suits, papers OF which
have been served through local auth
critics are those of the school board
of Surrey township, Grassland school
district in Ward county and Rolette
county.
Local officials expect that number
of new garnishment cases will follow
the ruling Of the supreme court per
mitting garnishment.

DIsSENTS VIGOROUSLY

The decision of the supreme court
in the Sargent lounty garnishment
case, announced last week, OF only
strikes down" the Bank Of North Da-
kota but the reasoning therein as we'll
strikes the state owned industries of
mills and elevators and the state-own-
ed and operated Home Building as
sociation,' declares Judge Richard H.
Grace, in an opinion filed yesterday
dissenting from the majority opinion
Of four judges.
Judge Grace, in his opinion, holds
tht the premise of the majority opin'
ion is absolutely wrong. The funda-
mental issues involved in the case, he
asserts, are not first, the status OF
the. Bank of North Dakota and second,
the right to avail of garnishment pro.
cess in a proceeding against it, as
stated by Judge Bron son but are first,
the status of the state of North Da-
kota, and, second, the right to avail
of garnishment process in proceeding
against the State of North Dakota" ."
Judge Grace rectes the amendment

state owed and state operated enter
prises were authorized, and refers to
tn opinion of the court in the Green
VS.. Frazier case.
Would Hit Others, Claim
"The principal contention or claim
of the majority opinion is, that the
Bank Of North Dakota is engaged in
a private business; that in effect it is
a .private corporation, and as such,
may sue and be sued,' continues Judge
Grace. What is claimed in this re-
gard, in reference to the Bank OF
of North Dakota, if such claim is well
founded, applies with equal effect to
the state.owned mill and elevator and
to the Home Building association" -
