Senator Agrees on the
Measure
ALSO BRIDGE BILLS

Governor Sorlie's bill declaring the
state owned mill and elevator ut
Grand Forks to be terminal grain
market and empowering the state
railway commission to fix intra- state
railway rates accordingly was today
recommended for passage through the
'senate by the committee on state
affairs. The bill has already passed
the house.
Senator Frank Ployhar Of Barnes
who moved that the bill be reported
for passage, said that while he did
not agree with Governor Sorlic on
many things he was as anxious as
anyone to see the mill and elevator
succeed, and that he believed the
passage of this bill might aid in
this success. There was no debate
The senate committee on appro-
priatIOns voted to recommend for
passage four bills which have passed
the house carrying appropriations
from the state highway fund for
bridges. The appropriations carried
are: 100000 for bridge over the
Missouri river near Williston; $780,
600 for bridge over the Missouri
near Sanish; $4,000 for bridge over
Des Lacs Lake between Ward and
Burke counties, and $4,000 for u
bridge over the Red River at Fargo.
The appropriation bill for reopen
ing the state school of forestry at
Bottineau was also recommended for
passage by the committee. This bill
as passed by the house carries an ap-
preparation Of some SGT, 900.

The present session of the legis.

law, according to r. f. Wenzel, com.

"The 1919 session of the legisla-

"No sufficient method for carrying
this part of the law into effect was

Who have failed to comply with the
law are in worse condition than
those working for employers who

TALKPURCHASE
OF LOTS FOR
PLAY GROUND

The suggested proposal that the
city might buy the property on the
corner of Fourth and Rosser Streets,
in back of the Will School, for use
as playground for school childern
has progressed no further than the
gossip stage, according to board Of
education member.
The suggestion that this plot could
be had was made at board meet
ing about six weeks ago when the
shortage of play room was brought
up. Since then the matter has been
discussed informally on several oc-
casions, but no serious consideration
has been given to the proposition.
RumOrs have circulated that the
price for the corner plot, is $4,000,
and that the nonresident owner Of
the adjoining plot gives $4,000 as her
figure.
Board members state that unless
the property can be secured at rea-
sonable price it will not be consider
ed.
Another question raised informally
by the board recently, concerns the
advisability in future school expan-
sion plans, of using the Will School
exclusively as a lower grade school
and if it is desired to continue the
junior high school plan, Of turning
the present high school into a jun
Tor high and erecting new senior
school on the ample grounds in back
Of the present high school, which
property is owned by the city. Such
suggestions look to meeting the ed
ucational needs to arise from the
normal future growth OF the city.
