STATE BUILT
HOMES CASES
BEFORE COURT
Agreement Could Not BE
Reached in Cases, and
Matter Taken to Court

Trial of the first of several cases
involving the proper payment for
houses built in Bismarck by the
Home Building Association of North
Dakota opened before District Judge
Fred Jansonius here today. The
cases, numbering about ID, were
those in which an agreement on the
price to be paid could not be reached
between the Industrial Commission
and the home builders.
William LANCER, attorney for the
Home Builders, contended that un-
der a stipulation entered into by
him and then Attorney-General John
son in 1922, the discount from the
book value fixed as result OF two
cases taken to the supreme court
should apply in the settlement OF all
others. He contends the home pur-
chaser may either settle or turn the
house back to the state, and receive
back payments made, less fair rent
during the time the house was oc-
cupied.
The cases to be tried include those
involving homes built by the state
association for j. A. Graham, A. A.
Jones, Matte E. Payne, F. ]. Grady.
VIM. Kershaw, o. H. Lerum and
Chas. Rosen, o. Lundquist.

GRAIN GRADING
STATUS STILL
IS UNSETTLED
Conference Fails to Evolve
Method of Continuing
The Department

No definite action toward a rear
ing the state grain grading depart
ment, which is limited to supervision
of bonding of elevators under a court
stipulation. came out of a meeting
here between j. N. Hagan, supervi-
ser, member of the board Of railroad
commissioners and the emergency
commission.
The emergency commission, having
advanced about $4,000 to the depart
mcnt, has held it cannot longer give
from the emergency fund for the up
keep of the department. J. N. Ha-
gan, supervisor, maintains the emer-
gency commission should continue to
support the department. The board
of railroad commissioners, at the con-
ference, held that its duties and
powers ended with appointment of
the supervisor, and that it would
take no action before Mr.. Hagan had
decided on his course.
The state grain grading act, under
which the department was establish
ed, was attacked by elevator compan-
les. the suit pending in the United
States Supreme Court. 1t had been
agreed between the elevator com
panies and the state, however, tina,
the department might function tt
the extent of requiring bonds from
elevators to protect storage grain
The department had no funds, the
legislature having appropriated $780,
600 but provided it must come from
the fees collected.
Mr.. Hagan declared he has due him
$3.50 back salary and does not see
how he can continue the department
long.

OBSERVANCE
OF DAY URGED
Governor Would Pay Tribute
To Gen. Lafayette

Observance of Lafayette -Marne day
in North Dakota was urged today
by Governor Nestos in statement.
~ have been requested to proclaim
September sixth. the anniversary of
the birth of Lafayette and the tenth
anniversary of the battle of the
Marine. as a legal holiday" the Gov
ernor said. 1T does not seem ad-
visable to do this but l am sure that
friendship of Lafayette for the lead
ers in the American Revolution, his
devotion to the cause of liberty, and
his helpful interest in promoting
the growth and greatness of the Re-
public, were of such value to AM
erica that every lpatriotir citizen
will be glad indeed to devote por-
tion of September sixth to a
thoughtful consideration of the po-
litical and international ideals ex-
emplified by Lafayette.
"The fact that an equestrian sta
tue of Lafayette. placed near the
Washington monument in Baltimore
is to be unveiled on that day, makes
the anniversary of his birth of ex-
ceptional interest this year."
