AttOrney-General Shafer Ap.
points BOttineau Man to
Position Here

Asmunder Benson, Bottineau at

state licensing department, Attorney
General George Shafer announced
today. Mr.. Benson will take active
charge of the department Immediate
ly.
No appointment had been made
during the winter by Mr.. Shafcr, who
became attorney general in January,
because of the uncertainty of the
future of that department, several
attempts having been made in the
legislature to abolish it. House bill
No. FOG, as finally passed. materially
changes the scope and functions Of
the department.
II consider myself very fortunate
to obtain the services of man of
the ability and character Of Mr.. Ben
son to head the licensing depart
ment," Mr.. Shafer said. "He is a
native Of our state, born in Penn
bina county, and raised in McHenry
country. He is a graduate of both th'.
College Of Arts and of Law of the
University of North Dakota, and has
practiced law for the past eight
years at Bottineau, where he has
made a splendid success Of his bus
mess, and has earned the reputation
of being able, honest, upright and
clean. 1t was my judgment that the
difficult office of state inspector,
which has to do with law enforce
ment in the broades sense of the
term, could best be administered by
a man with legal learning and ex-
perience, provided he also possessed
the requisite ideals, ambition and
and in Mr.. Benson, believe
| have found an excellent man for
the job"
More definite plans for the future
will be announced later, Mr.. Shafer
said.
