BANK OF n. D. TAKES
| Up 10000 ACRES
| OF Land PER Year.
Startling Picture Of Activities,
Despite Moratorium, Is
Revealed
sol FORECLOSURES IN 1888
Bank Will Acquire 4o5 More
Farms in 1894; Average
202 Acres for Each Deed

What has happened to North Da-
kota's people in recent years is the
story Of what has happened to North
Dakota.s land-and some startling
pictures are available to anyone who
takes . look at the records in the
Bank of North Dakota where the his
tory Of some 1900 farm mortgages
is recorded.
The same records also contain
some astounding facts: For example.
1T is the plain and bitter truth that
the Bank Of North Dakota still Is
acquiring land at much faster rate
than it Is disposing Of it.
In 1888, despite the moratorium on
foreclosures, the Bank Of North Da-
kota acquired deeds to SOL separate
pieces Of land totalling III, $685.
acres, an average Of asa acres per
deed.
OF this number, 9,052.52 acres were
acquired on 43 direct deeds from the
owners. The remainder came through
foreclosure or some other legal pro-
cess.
TO Get lO5 Farms in 81
In 1884. the bank will acquire 405
more farms, various kinds Of legal &C.
ton looking to that end having been
started in that number of cases.
These will put title to 140,94698 more
acres in the hands Of the bank.
In short, the Bank of North Dako-
to is acquiring land at the rate Of
10000 acres q year.
All Of 1t Is being removed from the
tax roll Is title passes, raising the
taxes on land still in private hands.
Only one factor tends to brighten
this picture. This Is the sale" Of
lands through the operations Of the
Federal Land Bank. Up to August
II the bank had made POI such deals
for an undetermined number of acres.
According to the banks own state
ment for 1888, q total OF AS sheriffs'
certificates were obtained by FORE
closure proceedings, of which 205 were
on actions begun prior to the declara-
ton Of the moratorium. OF the re-
naming 30 certificates, the follow
ing explanation Is made by the bank:
Written Consent Given
/. In So cases written consent to
foreclosure was given by the owner.
2. In 60 cases the owner already
had conveyed his equity to the state
treasurer Is trustee and action was
had to clear title.
8. In 81 cases the premises were
not occupied by the owners as homes
but were rented out to tenants.
I. In Is cases owners had given
possession agreements and foreclosure
was to clear up the title.
5. In nine cases the owners had
died and none Of the heirs was in
terested in operating the farm,
thence It was necessary. to foreclose
In. order to clear up the title and OBJ

To Be Investigated

States. Representative Adolph j..

man Of the committee.

company had been deposited in
the bank by the protective commit
tee. However, the technical ad-
wiser of the committee stated that
this was only the report of one
bank, and that the total amount
of money involved in deposited
bonds with other banks through
out the country might be ten
fold the above mentioned amounts.
Actual Operations
It was pointed out that mas
much as the committee has only
recently started its actual opera
tons. the investigation will not
attain its real purpose until after
all the banks have reported these
so-called protective committees,
the practices of which the house
committee is seeking to shed light
on.
The number of people who have
been cheated by such protective
bondhOlders committees seems to
run into several millions, it was
declared. In New York state

more than one half million people
who have been duped by such COM

WOODS APPLIES
FOR PERMIT To
IMPROVE LAND
WILL CARRY ON OPERATIONS
AT SOUTH END OF LOWER
MATEcUMBE, ACCORDING.
TO APPLICATION

o. M. Woods, of Cora Gables.
has applied to the war department
for permission to do certain work
on land which has been leased by
him at the south end of Lower
Matecumbe Key.
Plans for the work are in the
engineers office in the Dyal Up
church building in Jacksonville
and the engineers office at Miami
Beach. There will be no public
hearing held on this matter but
any person desiring to protest
against the work for any specific
reason should contact the district
engineer in Jacksonville.
Following is a description of
the proposed work:
The construction of timber
wharf along the bridge approach
embankment of the Florida East
Coast Railway at its junction with
the south end of Lower Mate
cumbe Key. This wharf will be
1926 feet in length, measured
along the railway embankment,
and will extend out from the en-
bankment for 4 distance of 85
feet. The easterly face of this
dock will be constructed on a skew
angle with the shoreline. At the
westerly end, an extension 10 feet
wide and 108 feet in length will
be constructed parallel with the
railway, extending in westerly
direction. This will leave basin
rs feet by 108 feet between the
extension and the railway en-
bankmerit.
