The true condition of the Bank Of
North Dakota is just coming to light.
The old management had claimed for
political purposes that the bank was
making money and was in good con-
Gition. The new manager, who has
teen trying to get at the bottom Of
the affair has already discovered that
81 $50, 100000 of the banks funds is
tied up in closed banks in loans and
re-deposits. The old management
ca ried these items at their face value
The bank also faces the item of ap-
proximately S140,00O.OO in re-dis-
counts and commissions on bonds
which must be amortized and which
cannot be collected in full for at least
20 years. Great losses are certain
to result from real estate loans, a
rreater number of which are now in
lrrsars and these losses will probably
run up into hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The problem for the present
management is to get back the money
advanced to state institutions through
ale of bonds, to work out the real es-
ate loans with the smallest possible
loss and to secure the money tied up
n defunct banks. This will take a
long time and the tax payers are sure
to pay big deficit. 1t is fortunate
hat the old administration was head
d off before matters became worse.
