Report Available.
Now mind, this examination was
made on Sept. 13, 1920. The report
of the examiner which has been quot
ed was at the disposal of the state
Industrial commission and others
who managed the Bank of North Da-
kota.
Did they reduce the states deposits
in the bank which the examiners re-
port showed to be in such rotten con-
dition?
They did not.
Deposits Increased.
On the contrary between Dec.
8. 1920. and Jan. 8,1921. the de-
posits of the Bank of North Da-
kcta in the Peoples State bank
of Casselton increased from $46,-
2O9.23 to SOS, S,O9S. 40, an increase
of nearly $4,000.
And in February the Peoples
State bank of Casselton closed it's
doors and the states money was
tied up indefinitely.
Are men who, with the full knowl.
edge Of the conditions available
would deliberately allow the states
money to be poured like water into q
bank whose only claim to considera'
tion was that it was owned by Non
partisan .leaguers, and lent money tc
