fina | establishment of the
creamery here was fully assured at
la meeting of the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, when Nj.
Council stated that everything was
in readiness TO begin operation and
that the plant could probably be-
gin work within sixty days, but
there remained a small item of ap-
.proximately $50o to be adjusted in
order to speed up establishment Of
the new industry.
Failure to adjust this probably
would delay the beginning of oper-
alton by the new creamery PERI
haps year it was brought out in
the meeting, and this the direc-
tors wished to avoid.
After some further discussion, it
was decided by the directors that
the Chamber of Commerce would
undertake the task Of adjusting
this difference, and in order to Sc
cure the creamery for Americas
without further delay the sum nee
cessary was underwritten by the
business mems organization.
This action upon the part of The
Chamber of Commerce means that
work Of installing machinery will
begin at once, instead of being de-
layed several months, and that Sum
ter county farmers will begin draw
ing pay checks from this new in
dustry within a brief time. Mr..
Council and Mr. Wilson who wera
present at the meeting by invita-
tion of the directors, both approved
the solution of the problem evolv-
ed by the directors, and the action

The court adds that ''ln view of
the Legislative command that it fix

penditures. (etc.) the original rates
of premiums fixed by the North Da-

The court also holds that an EN-
ployer may not escape payment of
premium because a former rating
on employees of such industry may
have created mere than the exact
surplus directed by the statute,
where such employer was never in
sured under the former rating, and
never contributed to any surplus
created thereby"
The court finds that rate making
is a legislative power, not judicial
function, and that the courts nay
not fix what. is deemed to be rea-

ton is that the classifications are
valid and in conformity with the sta
tute.
