HOWEVER,

Would Cease Passive Resist
ance If France Would Re-
duce Force to Skeleton
MAKE PROPOSALS
Seeking to Have British EN-
body German Views in
Forthcoming Note

Paris, July 19-The German gov
ernment, through its embassies in
London, is striving to have the forth
coming note on reparations convey
to the French government Germany's
willingness to cease passive resist
ance in the Ruhr. subject to certain
concessions on the part of France.
This information has reached the
French government on what is re-
garded as unquestionable but unof-
fetal authority.
These concessions appear to in
clude;
1. Withdrawal Of the Franco Bel
gian troops of occupation with the
exception Of mere skeleton military
force which would in the diplomatic
sense be "invisible."
2. Permission for the German Of
ficials and functionaries expelled
from the Ruhr to return to their
posts, restoring the local administra-
tion of all civil services as it existed
before January IL when the occupa'
tion took place.
3. That the French government
agree to restore the currency confis.
Gated.
The conditions, it is declared here,
would be unacceptable to the French
government because they are unac-
companied by any definite assur-
ances or guarantees that repsrations
payments would be forthcoming.
Likewise it is explained that the
French government feels that since it
is enforcing the peace treaty and Ger
many is refusing to agree to it. it
would not be equitable that Germany
should impose conditions instead Of
yielding to the French demands.

SCHOOL BOARD
BUDGET FIXED
FOR NEW YEAR
Put at $128,O0O as Compared
to About $4,000 for the
Past Year, Announcement
70 HAVE NEW SCHOOL.
$1,000 Expense Figured
There - Board Now Has
Clean Financial Slate

The city school budget for next
year has been fixed by the board at
$l28 900 as compared to $12O,OOO fixed
by the board last year. The increase
in the budget is made necessary, ac
cording to members Of the board, be-
cause Of additional expense which
will be incurred in operating the new
Riverview school for six months,
from next January l.
Under the new limitation law of
the legislature, the school levy per-
mitted in city such as Bismarck is
1s mills. The valuation Of the prop
erty in the city has not been COM
pleted, but it is likely to be little
in excess of $6,0O0,OOO, or slightly
higher than last year. This levy
will not produce all the money need
ed by the board to run the schools.
1t is expected, however. that the city
board Will receive about SIS, 1000 from
the state tuition fund. The board
hopes, with this amount, to be able
to get through the next school year
satisfactorily.
1t is estimated that the cost of
operating the new Riverview school
for six months will be about 1000.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
exterior of the two-story brick build
ing. but it is not likely to be ready
for occupancy before about the first
of the year.
The board closed last years busi-
ness, squeezing out with a slight sur
plus. according to members. The
board had borrowed some money
from the sinking fund to meet cur
rent expenses. This was paid back
and there is a surplus for the year
of about $4,000. Ali bills are paid
and there are no warrants outstand-
ing, it was said by Richard Penwar-
den. clerk Of the board.
The board last year fixed the bud
get at about $4,000, which was re-
duced by the county board under the
limitation law to about $1O4, 900, &C.
cording to officials. The state tuition
fund helped to make up the differ
ence.
Va PIOPcIIy tuC
district last year was $5,94O,629.
Burleigh county owes the school
board $61, 900 is uncollected taxes
according to Mr.. Penwarden, who
added that there is good chance
of much of this being collected, which
would put the school finances in ex-
cellent shape.
Teachers salaries will be slightly
less this year than last, due tc
the repeal of the minimum wage law
which provided graduated salary
schedule, increasing with experience
and training. The maximum teach.
er's salary to be paid next year will
be $3.50. There will be no mid-year
promotions in the schools next year
this having been abolished by vote OF
the board. The new Riverview school
also will relieve overcrowding. Both
of these will be factors in easing the
work of the teachers in the schools
according to members of the board.
President Lenhart Of the boari
said that it had reduced expenses te
| minimum. No courses are changed
repairs to buildings are provided
sufficient money appropriated to pro
vide excellent teachers and keep W
the high standing of the schools, but
all "extras" have been eliminated

MAY DIVIDE
McHENRY co,

Velva, N. D., July l9.-The question
of dividing McHenry county is ut
issue again, and there is every indi-
cation that it will be submitted to
the voters at the 1924 election.
In its early developments the issue
appears to be an argument between
the north half and the south half of
the county. Editorial comments in
two papers this week indicate to some
extent the trend of the arguments.
The Bantry Advocate suggested that
division would mean that 1--WE might
get some work done over here, instead
of it all being done in the south sec
ton" The Velva Journal declared
that the county "is large enough to
make two good sized countless" and
that it could be divided without
fuss 1t said that economy and JUS
tice demand the division.
Several citizens in each section Of
the county now are working on plans
for submitting the division question
to the voters.

High Cost of Houses Built

Ultimate losses of the Home
Building Association, one of the

opinion of many closely connected
with the winding up of affairs Of

ments which will be made in accord
ance with the decision of the su-
preme court yesterday in the George

The Home Building Association
was shown in the Bishop, Brissman
audit made when the present admin
istration succeeded the Nonpartisan
administration to have deficit of
$l13,256.76. This report carried the
charges against persons for whom
homes were built at the figures
which were shown on the books.
Under the supreme court decision
the home buyers may get the home
at the reasonable value Of the pre-
perty. which is generally admitted
by officials to be much lower than
the price the Home Building Asso-
citation demanded. A loss $3.50. .O00
would represent loss of almost $5,-
900 on each home built or bought
for sale by the state association.
Fifty-seven houses and one barn
were built, or bought and sold. by
the Home Building Association dur
ing its regime. OF these IS were
constructed by the association.
Twenty-four were in Bismarck, 21
in Fargo, six in Mandan, two in I'm
derwood. When the present admin
istration took charge it was found
no contracts had been signed by
parties in the case of 81 homes.
Contracts had been signed for the
house built for j. B. Adams. former
manager of the association; the
William Lemke house, Fargo, and
the house built for r. r. McClintocl

LOCAL LABOR
USE IS URGED
BY GOVERNOR
Praises Cooperative Move
ment Launched In StutsI
man Co. to Aid Harvest

Utilization of local labor wherever
possible, through cooperation Of
farmers. business men and others
is urged by Governor Nestos az q
means of insuring harvest of North
Dakota's grain crop at a reasonable
cost to the farmers and to combat
an l. w. w. agricultural strike.
"The most important problem now
before our people is to create labor
conditions that will make it possi-
BILE for the farmers to harvest and
,thresh their grain and do it without
having to bear an unreasonable
cost" Governor NestOs said today.
"The threat of an /. w. w. strike
among the floating labOrers makes
this even more imperative. am
glad to learn that in Stutsman coun-
ty, where there is very good crop,
the people have already organized
so as to marshal and use all avail
able labor in town and country, to
take care of the crop in that county
without depending upon the l. W.
w. or floating laborers.
'In many counties Of the state
the crop, pfbrtuqafely is SO light
that there shoGld b9 mo difficulty
in taking care of what there is. My
hope is that. in every county in the
state the example Of the people Of
stutsman county .KW hi followed
and local forces so organized that
the farmers, by using our own home
help, exchanging work with neigh
bors and obtaining help from ad-
jacent towns will be able to handle
the situation satisfactorily even
though the l. w. w. should strike.
"This should and must be done
without delay"
