ton an acre in the state, for the

''a,ue Of wheat per acre as follows: {:
1917. $1,000; 1918, $27.61; 1919, $16.63;
1920, $11.70; 1921, $7.22; 1922, $12.69.
For the same years he figured the
value Of corn production as follows
per acre: 1917, $l3.59; 1918, $24.70;
1919, $4s.20; 1920, $17.2s; 1921, &s.52;

STATE STREET
CAR LINE TO
BE DISCUSSED
Franchise For Its Operation
Will Expire During Mid
die of September
TO BE CONTINUED:
Some People Object to Con-
tinuing Car Line, While
Others Favor It

The franchise for operation Of the
street car line from the downtown
section to the state capitol will be
before the city commission in the
near future. The present franchise
under which Main ana Fourth Streets
are used by the state in the oper-
alton of the line will expire about
the middle of September. and the
question of whether or not the line
should be continued in the future is
being discussed in various quarters.
There are some property owners
on Fourth street who would be
very glad to see the line discontin-
ued altogether. Although the street
has been paved, money has never
been provided by the state legisla-
ture for paving between the tracks.
This has been the cause of some OBJ
jections raised by property owners
who feel that since they paid heavy
assessments to get part of the street
paved the state ought to pave be-
tween the street car tracks.
There also has been some objec-
tion raised because of the frequency
of near accidents, especially in col
lisions between automobiles and the
car
On the part of the state there is
said to be desire on the part of
some officials to seek some other
method Of transportation, since there
is an annual deficit Of $4,000 to
$4,000 IN the line. Should the line
be abandoned it is felt some method
for transportation by motor cars or
buses would have to be arranged for
state employees. There has been ad-
vanced suggestion that the car be
not operated in the summer but be
operated during the winter. A great
number of employees who walk or use
their own automobiles in the sum-
mer depend on the street car dur
ing the winter.
While there appears deficit each
year, there also are some who be-
lieve that the state ought to maintain
the transportHtioH service for The
employees and visitors to the city
and argue that since the capitol
must maintain a power plant fol-
heating and lighting 1t can without
great additional expense in the win
ter operate the car line.
The new Memorial Building was
wired for electricity by the local
electric utility. The electricity fol
the capitol building now is furnished
by tho states own power plant.
A bill was passed by the legisla-
ture two years ago intended to make
possible consolidation of the elec-
trio and heating plants for the prison
and state capitol, and also to permit
the state to maintain White Way
system on the\ Bismarck-Me
bridge paved road and to light the
bridge. Under the governmental
regulations, federal-state highways
must be maintained by the state.
