RISKS SEEN IN
OFFICE JOBS
Unusual Cases Are Reported
TO WOrkmen's COmpensa-
tiOn Bureau

There are very few employmcnts
in which there is no hazard, accord
ing to r. f. Wenzel, Commissioner of
the Workmcn's Compensation Bureau,
Cases cited to illustrate this, and
which have come before the commits
sioncrs, include:
An employe of a bank, doing regu-
lar office work, while lifting the end
Of desk, broke Il blood vessel in the
eye, resulting in permanent injury
to the eye.
A clerk in a store, carrying point
ed pencil in his vest pocket, while
placing box on shelf, had the pen
Gil pushed through the sleeve and
into the arm, resulting in an infect
ed wound and some rather extended
disability.
The employe of an elevator was
carrying matches and nails in the
same pocket. While operating
; cars, the matches were ignited, re-
sulting in severe burn, requiring
extended medical attention.
"A number Of cases of employees in
office and store occupations have
come in, showing slivers in fingers
from handling boxes, with resulting
infections and extended disability y

BUDGET BOARD
RUNS AGAINST
Nd. INDUSTRIES
May Have TO Pare Other APP
preparations to Meet Debt
on Bond Issues
MUST CONSIDER LEVY

The state budget board, which is
made to the legislature for apprcpria-
tions for the bicnnum beginning
next July |, has run against the pro
blem or arranging the budget with
respect to expenses ncceSsitated for
the conduct of state industries III
North Dakota This new factor is
being considered for the first time in
making appropriations for the cduca-
tional, penal and charitable institu-
tions and the various departments Of
the state government.
There is due in 1928 a total of
$2G0,000 milling bonds, issued to aid
operations Of the state mill and clc-
due in 1929 and in 1929 there is due
an issue OF 81 100000 capita! stock
bonds of the Bunk of North Dakota.
Taxes will have 10 be levied next
year to start a fund to retire these
bonds, i'm the view of officials.
The state officials also must con-
slider the 4 mill tax levy limit placed
by the Constitution. Since one mill
OF this levy is used in providing
funds to pay the state soldiers bonus,
the usual expenses of government
must be met chiefly from Il :; mill tax
levy. Money needed for interest on
bond issues is said by officials TO be
exempt from the limitation, but levies
for meeting the principal are not en-
empted, according to officials.
The tax levy for general expenses
made last fall by the state board OF
admin stration was 2.S mills, APP
preaching the maximum that could
be levied. This was designed to raise
$2,Sl7, ,l25. 1t is possible that the
limitation of the levy will make the
state board of equalization unable to
provide all of the funds needed next
year, unless other methods of taxa
tion are devised. the Constitution
changed, the valuation raised or ap-
preparations pared to the limit.
1t is understood that members Of
the budget board feel that it is their
duty to keep recommendations for
expenses as low as possible, so as to
contribute their share to keeping the
next years tax levy within the Con-
stitutional limit. Since it is felt that
levy will have to be paid to retire
bonds issued for state Industries, it
is possible that the budget board will
find the necessity of making recon-
mendations for lowering other APP
preparations.

Questioned by police, Hoover is

LOANS ARE REDUCED

Remarkable improvement in tho
banking situation in North Dakota Isl
reflected in the abstract Of coms
parative statements Of state bankss
made as Of close of business Novem-
Der 10, completed today from re-
ports and announced by Gilbere
Scmingson, state examiner.
Deposits have increased, reserve
is bettered and the banks have re.
duced their Indebtedness to outside
agencies in remarkable manner.
Deposits in the 500 state banks
and four trust companies, as of No
vcmber Is, totalled $91 ,269, ,803.40,
which represents an increase in de-
posits of S1G,5O6.57 as compared
to the September II statement two
months previous. The deposits also
increased S2000,000 over the state
ment of year ago. The full effect
of the 1924 crops on deposits is not
reflected in the statement, in the
opinion of officials, since much
grain was still unsold on November
Is. In calling attention to the in-
crease in deposits, banking depart
ment officials pointed out that Ill
fewer banks reported deposits as Of
November Is than on a comparative
date last year.
Reserve in the state banks has
taken big jump. The total reserve
reported as of November Is, 1924, is
$26. .525, ,O78.95, as compared to SILL
477,427.94 on September II, 1924. and
Sl1 ,553, ,228.94 on October 81, 1928.
The total reserve required by law
as Of November Is was $7,652, ,260.80,
the excess Of reserve over legal re-
quirements being $ls.872,8l8.l5.
The manner in which loans arc
being paid to the state banks is
shown in the comparison Of loans
and discounts for three separate
periods. Loans at the time of the
last three statements we're:
Oct. 81. 1923 ....... $92 .06l ,l45.75
Sept. II. 1924 ..... 72,909, ,92l.41
Nov. Is, 1924 ........ 66,959, ,98l.69
A liquidation Of s5,S30,939.72 be-
tween September II and November
l5 is shown. while the loans are over
S25,l0l 1896 less than year ago.
The bills payable abstract, repre-
scnting money owed by the bankSs
also shows liquidation, due to In
creased resources Of the banks.
Comparison Of bills payable state
mcnts for the three periods show:
Oct. 81, 1928 SIG, 6,O44, ,157.55

covers 20 acres. The work is under
the general supervision of Major
General Harry Taylor, chief of army
engineers, with Lit. Col. George Z

construction forces.
Some 100000 horsepower of hydro.

ready by next summer. A powc,
house, $50 feet long. lGO feet wide
and l31 feet high, will be in use. A
