REDUCTION in
BANK EXPENSE
is BEING MADE
Manager of Bank of North Da'
kota Says That Force Will
Be Considerably Decreased
QUIT PUBLICITY BUREAU
Will Be Abolished, Although
Some Bulletins Are To Be
Issued BY The Bank

Expenses of operation of the Bank
of North Dakota are being REDUCED
and will be cut considerably more in
the near future through consolidation
of departments and work, under the
direction of Manager c. r. Green and
the Industrial Commission composed
Of Governor Nestos, Attorney General
johnson and Commissioner of Agri-
culture Kitchen. a
Six employees have left the service
of the banking department Of the
bank as the first economy move. The
number will be further reduced as Mr..
Green finds he can reduce it without
impairing efficiency.
P. E. Haldorson, former state ex-
aminer and recently a national bank
examiner, has been appointed by Mr..
Green to head the credits department
Eand the bond department the bank,
the two positions being consolidated.
Mr.. Green has known Mr.. Haldorson
for years and the appointment, Mr..
Green said, was made because of Mr..
Haldorsoh's ability from past connec-
ti0ns, and was made without cOnsulta-
tion with anyone.
The publicity bureau, which was
headed by w. G. Roylance, will be dis
continued. Mr.. Green expects to issue
a statement Of the condition of the
bank at regular intervals, and bull
letin will be published within few
days III which considerable informa-
tion about the farm loan department
will be- given. However, it is not plan
ned to issue the bulletins in such a
way that 1t could be charged they were
being used for propaganda purposes,
Mr.. Green declared.
The banking department of the bank
will vacate the second floor of the
Bank Of North Dakota building and
will be consolidated on the first floor.
This can be accomplished by the re-
duction in the number of employees,
Mr.. Green believes. The second floor
will be occupied by the farm loan de-
partmcnt and the Industrial Commits
sion. Mr.. Green's office will be
moved from the rear of the bank to the
front where easier and quicker access
! will be afforded business callers.
The bank will continue to "saw
wood steadily, Mr.. Green emphasized
He said that fine cooperation had been
shown by various officials of the
! counties, cities and school districts
with which the bank deals, and that
ne hopes the friendly cooperation will
| continue.
Mr.. Green had deeply impressed Of
ficials in the capital by the quiet, bus.
lness-like way in which he has taken
charge Of the bank.

HALF EXPRESS OPINION.

Dublin, Jan. 4.-(By the Associated
Press. .)-When the Dali reassembled
today, SO CT its members, nearly
half, expressed their views on the
Irish peace treaty. Between private
and public sittings the Dali has thus
far devoted nine days to debate.
Although the list of speakers is still
far from exhausted it is apparent that
every argument has been brought for
ward and it is believed that hence
forth the speeches will be short.
Hope for decision tomorrow or
Friday at the latest, was freely ex-
pressed today. AS the treaty fight
nears the end the opposition is be-
coming increasingly bitter. The at
mosphere at yesterdays session be-
came tense at time and the speeches
by representatives of both factions
