Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

ASTIEVILLE, N. c., January %
Predictions that the construction in
dustry will be ain the throes Of an
expensive disorder" within five years.
unless existing conditions are cor
rected, were made here by leading
builders attending the annual meet
ing of the Associated General Con-
tractors Of America, which was con
cluded Thursday.
The industry is flooded with in
capable and irresponsible bidders OF
the 'fiy-by-night" type, according to
speakers and reports submitted at the
meeting.
Unless definite steps soon are
taken by all elements Of the industry
to prevent incompetent bidders from
entering upon construction operations
in increa sing numbers, a disordered
condition that will prove costly to the
building public is the only prospect"
declared Gen. r. c. Marshall. jr., gen.
eral manager Of the association
A committee report submitted to the
meeting declared promiscuous issu-
ance of surety bonds and misuse OF
lien law provisions to be mainly re-
sponsible for the cited conditions.
without the assistance Of under
writers, who make 1t possible for the
incompetent and the plain crook to
qualify for contracts which they can
not possibly perform, those irrespon.
sibles who constantly bring discredit
upon contracting would disappear
from public construction" the report
stated.
1T Is common experience that ir-
responsible material dealers deliver
building materials to these incapa-
BILE bidders. without making a SEM
blance of a credit investigation,
knowing that the average home owner
is not familiar with lien law provi-
sionS and cannot protect himself
against dual payment If the interven-
ing purchaser fails to pay" the re-
port continued.
More than 500 builders from all
parts Of the country attended the ses-
sions.

Ultimately, probably within the life

MILD WINTER AHEAD
FOR GOPHER STATE IN
OPINION OF TRADER

A mild winter is in store for Min
nesota, in the opinion of Peter Gag
non, a French trader who has lived
at Grand Portage and traded with the
Indians as years.
Agreeing with Old Northbird, the
veteran Chippewa of Cass Lake, who
forecast a winter less severe than the
last one, Gagnon likewise read his
forecast from wild life.
Two weeks ago geese went south
but they have gone back north, Gag
non said, flying high. This is a sign
winter is not near, according to Gag
non.
Beaver have not prepared homes
for winter, he said, and are still cut
ting down trees and eating them rath-
er than storing them. Rabbits are
still light brown and have not turn
ed white as they will when winter is
near, according to Gagnon.

10 Bushels of
Grain Are Stolen
By Farm Thieves

More than 100 bushels of grain and
200 feet of snow fence were stolen
in Lyon County last week, Sheriff An
drew Christianson of Marshall an
nounced Wednesday night.
Sixty bushels of barley and SO bu-
shells of flax disappeared from the
granary on the Arthur Wilson farm
10 miles west of Marshall on state
highway IA Monday night. How the
thieves made away with the large
quantity of grain is not known, but
one theory is that they used a truck
and trailer, or else two trucks, while
another is that one party stole the
grain by making two trips.
The night before, 200 feet of snow
fencing belonging to the State High
way Department was stolen from
along the same highway, apparently
between $50 p. m, and midnight.
Sheriff Christianson again stressed
the need of a motorcycle police in
the attempt to keep down robberies
in the rural districts. "With good
roads and speedy trucks, the thief has
the best of US at present" the sheriff
declared, "and until we get some as
sistance in the way of a special dep
uty in each county to patrol these
roads at night on a motorcycle the
check trucks and cars travelling dur
ing the late hours, we are absolute
ly handicapped" Marshall News
