Report Of The
Industrial Commission
Shows Even Worse
Conditions In Industries
CONTINUED from page 1,

quires- and copies were delivered to
both houses Of the state legislature.
Under the law this report must be
filed each year, no later than Feb. l.
- The. report yesterday takes up the
Bank of North Dakota, the Drake mill

State Mill and Elevator Association

amounted to $2.732,s13.64, of
these bills receivable more than
half were past due on December
81. the report admits and says by
..timcs this would be n condition
worthy of serious criticism, how
ever in the fact of the financial
stringcncy most banks have
adopted a policy Of carrying per.
fcctly good paper past due rather u
ae-41hasl4 renew any portion of 1t in4l
order that it may remain subject
to demand call"
The report furthermore shows that
on December 81 the items out for col
lection amounted to $1,C23,127.63.
Two Of the interesting items of the
report are the ~overdrafts shown for
the Home Building association and the
Mill and Elevator association.
At the time the audit of the state
industries was taken by Bishop-Briss-
man and Company the Home Build
ing ASSOCIATION had an overdraft in the
state bank of $1O,752.52. The report
of the industrial commission shows
that by Dec. 81 this overdraft had
grown to $42,671.77.
u The Mill and Elevator association
also had an overdraft of $3.50, COS. IA.
These are explained by the state.
ment that the industrial Commission
n the Bank of North Dakota art
authorized to transfer funds to the
state industries. and that since Dec
1 funds have been thus transferred
to ove these overdrafts.
There is no statement as to the
amount of r~e-deposits carried by the
Bank Of North Dakota in the Scandi.
navian-American bank of Fargo AND
other League banks Of the state.
There is, however, a slap taken a
the Federal Reserve bank for the dis.
trict which is accused of aiding the
millers of the Twin Cities while re
fus:ng to aid the farmers.
Cash on Hand 1922
The report of the Home Build
