DICKINSON CITIZENS
FAVOR BOND issues
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Stark County Probably Will Hold
a Special Election in
September
PROPOSE NEW CITY HALL
Fire Protection Of City Neces-
sary, as Present Quarters
Are Not Safe
lTribune Special Serviccl

Dickinson. N. D.. Aug. l3.-Dickin-
Tor city commission is expected to
issue q call for a special election in
September or October to consider two
bond issues, totaling $780, 900, as the
result Of q meeting Monday at which
time citizens were invited to be pres
ent and give arguments for or
against the proposal.
The small number who were present
favored the move. and 1t is almost
certain that the commission will pass
the necessary legal proceedings at the
meeting next Monday.
The SUM of SIS 900 Is expected to be
asked for improvements to the water
works and installation of a larger
septic tank to care for sewage. A
second bond issue Of $25. 900 is pro-
posed to erect a new city hall and a
storage warehouse for city equipment.
City's Growth Responsible
An enormous increase In use Of
water has been noted this year due
to the growth Of the city. To meet
the situation it Is proposed to spend
SIS 900 for two e gravel packed
wells. a 1900 gallon per minute pump,
between 800 and 900 feet Of main to
connect with a new reservoir, and a
1000. 900 gallon reservoir. The other
SIC, 900 will be used for a new septic
tank. as 1t is stated that the one now
In use Is inadequate, being too small
to handle sewage properly.
The separate bond issue for ware
house and city hall totals $25 900. of
which S.. 1000 would be used for erect
ing a storage building to take arc Of
city machinery for road work. water
ing streets, and other purposes.
The city hall would be onc story,
with a basement under part Of it.
The need for a better structure Is
necessary because the fire truck is not
in safe quarters, 1t is stated. Floor
ing underneath the fire hall is not
strong enough. There is danger that
it may crash through into the base
ment. it is said.
In the new building, which would
be erected on the same location as
the present building, with the ware
house on the land directly behind,
the city offices would be at the front
and the fire truck at the rear, with
the building made larger by extend
ing it to the lot line on the north.
In the basement, a city jail. police
magistrates quarters, and boiler room
would be placed.
Fire Hazard Present a
City commissioners stated cm-
phatically that 1t was protection of
the fire truck that prompted them
to suggest a new building at present.
It is claimed that the waterworSs
earnings would pay the interest and
principal Of the $4,000 issue. the
commissioners say.
The plant has shown a substantial
profit the last few years. In 1928.
50. 1900 was spent on new wells. paid
out of current earnings.
General opinion Is there will be
little opposition to the bond issue for
the waterworkS since most Of the
citizens realize the Importance Of a
good and adequate water supply.

ANDREWS MAY OPEN
 STORE IN BELVIDERE
RemOnstrants on Defen- sive, Must Appeal to
 Zoning Board

Stanley Quarter property owners who object to the re-open:ng ot Charles Andrews store on property adjoining that of the State Normal school, may find it necessary to carry their case to the board Of ad- justment. instead of awaiting such a step on the part of MT. Andrews.
 It has been found that the repairs incidental to re-opening are minor and that no building permit is re- quired. This fact practically removes the case from the jurisdiction of the building inspector and if action k to be taken to restrain Andrews. tt appears that the board of adjust ment must be appealed to by the objectors.
 The store, one of the smallest fin the city, has been uncer iease to Kolodney Brothers since befor ~ adoption of the zoning act. at whicb time 1t was placed in a residence district. It has not been opened in several years, but has been used for storage purposes.
 Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham has advised the building inspector that there are several questions Of fact to be considered before it can be determined whether such use was continued operation o. the store. If it is found that the store has not been concucted for more than one year. it will be im- possible to reopen 1t under the terms of the xoning act, 1t is said.
