Straus Looks for Better Business in
1880, With Money Re-
ported Easier.

much of the slack in demand and sur
pluses have been greatly curtailed, it
is declared today by S. w. Straus, on
the basis of a review of building in
1929.
The fundamentals of the situation
are sound. he declares with favor
able money market and the efforts be-
ing put forth by industrial leaders
throughout the Nation to keep general
business on the go, it may reasonably
be expected that turn for the better
in building operations will be forth
coming by midyear or possibly earlier,
the announcement states.

commission Monday night.
The work includes the construction
Of q dam at the foot OF Jackman's
coulee, q reservoir east Of Kiwanis
Park and q system of bitches leading
from the east to take care OF storm
water from Bismarck's streets.
The improvement was made 'neces-
sary by the fact that storm water
flooding the river bottoms made the
city liable for DANCES.
Sidewalk assessments for 1880. to-
falling $3.306.63 were levied by the
commission. These were for side
walks built by the city and assessed
against the property benefited.
The Monday club presented q reso-
luton asserting that school children
are endangered by deep snow on the
sidewalks and asked. in view Of the
fact that the city has adequate ma
chinery for clearing the snow from
the sidewalks that an effort be made
to clear the sidewalks leading to each
Of the various schools after each
snowstorm. It was further suggested
that this be done early enough SO that
tho work would be completed before
the school hour and that the location
Of such main sidewalks leading to the
schools be advertised.
The proposal was taken under ad-
visement.
A design for the cloak room to be
installed in the world war memorial
building was discussed and 1t was rec
commended that coats be placed In

rather than hung on hooks, In order

DR.. Robert Allen. epidemiologist for
the state health department and q
club member, discussed the work and
history of the state health depart
ment. It was established In 1881
with the late DR.. Darrow Of Fargo as
part-time superintendent for the ter
ritory. he said, and at that time had
charge of medical work for both hu-
mans and animals. Its principal Job
was the examination and licensing OF
medical men, DR.. Allen said.
Until 1923, he said, the state health
department was operated by q part
time director and in that year its
appropriation, which had gradually
increased, was cut because the matter
of state health work had become .
political football.
DR.. Allen said the state now spends
five cents per capita on health work
and estimated that 1t could do all the
work necessary for six cents per cap
ita. The average health expenditure
for the various states, he said. is nine
cents per capita.
Some of the work now being done
by the department, he said. Is H.
nanced by money donated by the
Rockefeller foundation.
T. G. Plomasen and Joe Spies were
appointed a committee to confer with
the city street department on meth
ods of improving the condition OF the
