hecks Early in Decem-
Der, Department Says

North Dakota farmers who suf-
fcred hail losses this year will re-
ceive $3,315,917.45 in indemnity, it
was announced today by the state
hail insurance department. Pay
ment of claims will be made early
in December.
A total of 16,7SO claims were re-
ccived this year. as compared to
9,744 in 1925. While the increase
in the number Of claims, depart
ment officials said, is partially ac-
counted for by an increase Of 1,649,-
Tl9 acres insured this year as COM
pared with the 1926 total Of in
sured acreage, it is. mainly due to
heavy hail storms which caused a
loss 95 per cent greater than the
loss for 1926. The total acreage in
sured in. 1926 was 6,136,813 acres,
while in 1927 it was 7,786,532 acres.
The increase in acreage this year
was attributed largely to the pros
pect for good crops which prevailed
throughout the growing season.
The insured acreage represents
approximately Al per cent Of the
1892, ,426 acres Of land cropped this
year, officials said.
Four Districts ID ignated
Indemnity tax rates for 1927 were
determined after the division of the

City'S Business Methods Criti-
cized by Minncsota's Public
Examiner - Payments to
Company in Which Mayor Is
an Officer Declared Illegal

St. Paul, Oct. 18.-N-Misap.
preparation Of funds and numerous
payments of illegal claims arc
charged and extensive criticism OF
it's business methods are made in q
report of the records and accounts Of
St. Cloud, made public today By
Garfield w. Brown, state public eX.
aminer.
Misappropriation Of $4,000 b.
Julius Adams, former city treasur.
cr, is charged. Adams repaid the
sum before -the4aadit. When con
fronted with the items later he ad.
mitted the misappropriations and re-
signed soon after, the report says.
Illegal Claims Paid
Payment has been made of more
than GO alleged illegal claims from
the city's general fund and more
than 69 from it's water department
fund, the report continues.
Those citod as having been made
from the general fund range from
So to S3,219. No legal authority ex-
listed for the payment of many OF
them. In another case amounts OF
over $3.50 were spent without ad-
vcrtising for bids.
Several instances Of payments to
the Ice Service, Inc, of which Mayor
j. Arthur Benson is secretary and
treasurer, are declared illegal be-
cause a public officer cannot do bus
mess with a concern in which ne has
an interest.
Payment of support to the St.
Cloud municipal band in excess OF
the limit allowed by law is also
pointed out.
System Is Inefficient
In the case Of the water depart
mcnt, payments ranged from $65 to
$1,000 with numerous purchases OF
meters in groups with an aggregate
cost Of less than $3.50. Mr.. Brown
cites this method as inefficient. Me-
ters should be bought once a year
and bids advertised for, he recon-
mends.
Exception is taken to transfers
made from one fund to another, ag-
gregating about $4,000, which the
report holds have been made with
out proper legal authority. These
range from $3.50 to more than SlO,-
600. !.
Further criticism is directed at
Adams in connection with the clos
ing Of two st. Cloud banks.
