+ Bismarck:

To the Voters Of Bismarck:
In view Of certain misleading state
ments which have been made reia
tive to the purchase by the City of
the old Runyan Lumber company
property, and the political ATTACK
made on Commits siOncr John ~. Lar.
son in consequence of that purchase,
| wish to make the following State
mcnt of fact:
The Street Department Of the City
has an investment of several thou
sand dollars in trucks. tractors,
flushing and sprinkling wagons, rs
well as other miscellaneous equip
mcnt and tools. Prior to the pur-
chase Of this property part Of thi,
equipment was stored in the fire hall,
part Of it was left in the open for
the reason that the City had no ga
rage or other storehouse. The pur-
chase Of the new fire truck made it
necessary to find other quarters for
this other equipment. also garage
and shop. The equipment of the
Street department which had been
kept in the open was being seriously
injured by the weather. and that i'm
portant Investment was being seri
ously impaired.
The writer acted upon u committee
appointed in the Spring Of 1926 To
investigate and make recommends
tons for suitable quarters for the
equipment Of these two departments.
The property in question included
lots 100 feet by 40 feet and con-
tanned three buildings worth at lcas,
~ 300. Similar property just east Of
the Runyan property had been sold
for 1900 a % foot lot. The prop
erty which was subsequently pur-
chased by the City was bought for
$4,000, lots and buildings included.
a prominent business man has since
offered $4,000 to the City for these
lots without the buildings.
As member Of the committee
which investigated the matter l be-
licved that the purchase was q good
business deal for the City. and now
believe that it was an exceptional
purchase, and that the property is
worth more to the City than the
amount paid.
