sion and prepared to hold confer
ences with various state officials and
others preparatory to assuming Of
flee. Mr.. Sorlie and family, at the
invitation of Governor Nestos, will
occupy the mansion with him for the
next few days.
With the appointment of his per
sonal secretary made, the Governor
elect had no statement to make re-
garding other possible appointments
in the near future, and indicated that
his first extended statement probably
will be in his message to the legisla-
ture. His attention called to the fact
that the majority of the board OF
managers of the state mill and ele-
vator at Grand Forks had resigned,
the Governor-elect had no public
comment to make. 1t is understood,
however, that since his election Mr..
Sorlie has had frequent conferences
with members of the board of manag-
ers and those actively in charge OF
the Grand Forks mill.
Industries To Come In
Mr.. Sorlie, in his message, is ex-
pected to pay particular attention to
the state industries, but it is under
stood that because of his unfamiliar
ity with the machinery of govern
ment, his message will be fairly
brief.
Among the prediction statements
made by Mr.. Sorlie which are ex-
pected to find place in his recon-
I mem tatfohs to the legislature, has to
do With the Bank of North Dakota
and tlosed banks. In speech in Bis
narck just before the election, the
Governor-elect urged that provision
be made whereby the Bank of North
Dakota could purchase collateral of
closed banks so as to prevent loss to
the assets of the banks through FORE
closure proceedings by agencies from
which the banks had borrowed
money, the intent being to conserve
assets of the banks and lessen fore
closures to individual borrowers.

known to legislative leaders that he
will insist that effort be made to dis
pose Of the budget and major appro-
p, ation bills in the legislature in
TIN first 20 days of its session.
