COUNTY BOND
SAVING WITH
BIDS, OPINION
Local Financial Men Believe
Several Thousand Would
Be Saved Burleigh
COMMISSIONERS ANSWER

Whether the county commissioners
proposed contract for the sale OF
from $4,000 to 100000 of funding
bonds, and their contentious are such
that the contract will be upheld, will
be decided only In the courts.
The commissioners held to their
declaration that they would "stand
pot" not changing during their meet
ing which ended last evening.
Th eanswer filed in behalf of the
commissioners to the petition of tax
payers maintains that the proceed
ings of the commi ssloners was legal.
The bond company attorneys assert
that they have a binding contract to
purchase the bonds at Ia per cent
interest.
Belief is expressed by financial men
here than the bonds could be sold for
per cent and a premium obtained
by the commissioners in addition. Ii
bids were taken on the bonds, it was
pointed out, several thousand dollars
might have been saved the county on
a 2O-year bond issue.
City school bonds sold at a net
rate of 4.58 per cent interest. State
bonds are being advertised at per
cent, for sale May "a, and the state
expects to get a premium. Because
of its low bonded Indebtedness, Bur-
leigh county's bonds are FULLY as at
tractive as the others, it is held by
financial men.
In the answer filed today by States
Attorney Allen at the direction of
the commissioners, he says:
Denies every allegation in the petit
tion to prevent the bond sale, except
as specifically admitted.
secret meeting.
Denies any fraud.
Says that c. A. Swanson was not
the "purporting acting chairman but
was the acting chairman.
Says the bonds would take care of old
debts and save the county 3-4t per
cent interest year on warrants out
standing.
Declared the act was done for
benefit of taxpayers.
Asserts that f. A. Hughes in affi
davit said the action was fraudulent
and secret, and asserts this is false
and impudent to the record.
AS to allegations as to whether or
MT AuI,tnr Icb ~ op n, do CT to opfc
to bond sellers that the county was
not to to sell any bonds and whether
or not the county could get less
rate, is immaterial to the issues so
long as the commissioners did not
illegally exceed their powers.

Janetsky told the council that the
Soviet government desired no break

statement that "Russia is against

found reflection in the resolution
passed by the Council announcing
that Russia was ready, if necessary
to respond with armed force to those
who try to infringe upon her indie

The Soviet reply it is generally
expected, will go forward to London
after Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's
address to the special session of the

Gussner, former Northwestern uni
yersity student, who is mentioned in
connection with the Leighton Mounts
skeleton case is attending school at
Jamestown. He was at Northwestern,
but taken i'll with rheumatism. Came
back during school years 1921, and
did not return. He was a high
school basketball star.
Chicago, May 1.-Two new angles
in the investigation of the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Leighton Mount,
Northwestern university student, VIII O
vanished 20 months ago, developed
last night, causing Robert E. Grove,
states attorney, to order roundup
of al students who left the univer-
sity within four months after Mount
disappeared and to request New York
authorities to conduct an inquiry for
the basis of check-up on the basis
of testimon given by J. Allen Mills,
a former student.
The gathering of former students
was ordered under the theory that
some of the IL might be able to give
clues that would Solve the mystery
that since a skeleton seemingly iden-
titled as that of Mount was found un-
der an Evanston pier nearly two
weeks ago, has puzzled authorities.
Another purpose of the order was to
check statement made by Mrs. j. l..
Mount, the boys mother, that Presi-
dent Scott of the university told her
16 students were expelled after the
class rush in which authorities be-
lieve Mount was injured fatally by
accident.
PrGSident Scott, before the grand
jury, denied that any students were
dismissed as result of the affair.
A transcript of statements made
by Mills, admitted leader of the
freshmen during the class rush when
he was questioned by authorities in
Akron, Ohio, his present home,
prompted Grove to ask District At
torney Banton of New York to ques-
tion Miss Katherine Hotchkiss, Mills
friend.
Grove said the statement made by
Mills at Akron varies with his grand
jury testimony here, and contains
reference to letters written to him
by Miss Hotchkiss in New York who
referred to his terrible experience
that night" and to his evidently ex-
pressed wish to get even with two
or three boys who led me into it,"

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

ISOLATION in being told that she
must wait until the right man
comes along. But the fact re-
mains-doesn't it? Don't pursue
love quite so frantically. That
is one way of pushing it off-out
Of your life. When a man starts
showing you attention, try to
give him true friendship-to un-
derstand what interests him and
to think unselfishly of his ideas
and ideals rather than nervously
to wonder how long you are 60
ing to hold him and If he is the
real man at last. Keep faith in
yourself and faith with life. We
all get what we want in life
provided we want it enough to
work for it. And if you really
want love, you will train yourself
to deserve it and then you will
find that what belongs to you
will come to you naturally and
inevitably. Repember all fine
things grow slowly.
