FURTHER PROBE
OF paw NG Is
BEING PLANNED
City Commission COnfers With
Contractors on Downtown
Paving Conditions
ALLEGED TO BE FAULTY
Dig Up Some Holes in Effort
to Determine Cause of the
Sinking

A further Investigation of the bithu.
lithic paving in the downtown district
will be made by the city commission,
it was said today by John French, com.
missioner of streets. A conference was
held here between the commission
members and B. Okes, Of Minneapolis,
of HanlOn and Okes, contractors, and
w. b. Warren, of Portland, Ora of
Warren Brothers, contractors for the
surfacing.
The party dug up some holes in the
paving on Main street and at Sixth
street, in an effort to determine the
cause OF the sinking in the paving at
several places. The curbing also is
unsatisfactory in places, according to
commission members.
The paving in paving district No.
was laid in 1916 and 1917 and it
was guaranteed for five years. This
expires next year.
Not Satisfied
Mr. french said the Commission was
not satisfied with the Investigation
and would make further one, open
ing up additional places in the city.
One of the contractors had claimed
that faulty sewer construction was
the cause of the sinking of the pave
ment. The contractors had previously
written the commission they would
repair any defects.
According to Mr.. French, the paw
ing appeared to be the required thick
ness. Whether the defect is in the
surface or in the reinforcement has
not been determined, he said.
Affidavits Missing
Three years ago H. A. Thompson
and C. wv. Litton presented some af-
fidavits to Attorney General LANCER al
leging that the paving was not in ac-
cord with plans and specifications. 1t
is now said that the affidavits, sup
sposedly on file in the Attorney.Gen.
erals Office, can not be found.

SCHOOLS WILL
GET CASH FIRST
Treasurer J. A. Flow Says
State Can Wait

Country school teachers will receive
money from J. A. Flow Burleigil
county treasurer, before the state OF
North Dakota received money, Mr..
Flow said today.
A request was made upon Mr.. Flow
by State Auditor Poindexter to pay to
the state tax money due it. Mr.. Flow
said that due to the fact that large
part of county funds had been placed
on certificates of deposit in the Bank
Of North Dakota by the former treas.
urer he could not pay all demands,
and that the country schools, which
are making demands, would be salts
fed before the state.
The case involving right of the out
going treasurer, H. p. Knappen, to
place general fund money on certiti-
cate of deposit is now pending appeal
to the supreme court.
