GOVERNMENT MAY
ASSUME CONTROL
OF SILVER STOCKS
Proposal to Include White Me-
tai in Money Base Favor
ed by President

Washington. May 9.-(P)-The
drafting Of measure to transmute
silver into a front -rank monetary re.
serve was rushed Wednesday under
the joined hands of treasury experts
and elated senate silverites.
Congressional leaders simultaneously
made room for the bill on the legis-
lative calendar Although subject tc
final White House check. the meas
ure appeared sure of presidential
blessing.
Naturalization of domestic silver
stocks and lifting the treasury's white
metal reserves to 25-75 ratio with
$7,756 .00O. 900 of gold assets, were two
big points on which legislative action
seemed certain.
In figures, the projected national
ization would have the government
take title to about 250.0O0.o 900 ounces
of floating silver stocks, open mar
ket for scrap silver ana license the
huge commercial trade IN the metal
Boosting treasury holdings to "25
per cent Of the monetary value OF
the metallic reserves Of the country
to use White House phrases-ap-
parently would mean adding 1,30O,-
10000 more ounces to the present
supply of $50 900 900 ounces.
Both subjects were canvassed in
White House meetings which led Sen
ator Robinson the Democratic leader
to remark from the doorstep of the
executive offices Tuesday night:
"A draft Of the silver bill is being
made with prospect Cor legislation
being considered during the present
session. Silver legislation in the main
will be directory or pernissive.
Some who met with the president
said congress would declare the 25-
per cent reserve national policy and
leave getting the necessary silver
supply with President Roosevelt.

PWA WITHDRAWS ITS
REQUEST that BOND
issue Be INCREASED
$308, ZOO loan-Grant From
Federal Agency Will Be
Available at Once
TO ASK BIDS ON BONDS SOON
Construction Probably Will Be-
gin in July and Require
Full Year t...

Construction of Bismarck's pro-
posed new high school building will
be financed as originally planned, it
was announced Wednesday by George
F. Will, president of the board of ed
ucation.
Will explained that the public works
administration has withdrawn its re-
quest that the Capital City increase
its bond issue from $203. 900 to $2l8.-
600 and has informed the school
board that loan and grant Of $685.
TOO will be available Immediately.
Advertisements for bids on the
bonds to be issued by the school
board probably will be published in
the next few days, Will said, as soon
as approval Of the bond issue details
is received from PWA authorities at
Washington.
No explanation was forthcoming
from the PWA, Will said, in regard to
the request that the amount of bonds
be raised by $4,000.
Construction probably will begin
early in July. The school board must
advertise for bids on bonds for 80
days. Following sale Of the bonds,
the board will advertise for 20 days
for bids on construction.
RitterbuSh Brothers Of Bismarck,
architects, estimate that q full year
will be required to complete the
structure, precluding the possibility
that the building can be used before
the fall of 1885.
Under the plan the building, to-
gether with its furnishings, will cost
approximately $386.000. OF this sum
100000 will be supplied by the pro-
ceeds Of the proposed bond issue and
100000 by an outright grant from
the federal government.
In addition. the school board he's
$4,000 in a building fund. OF this
sum approximately $4,000 will Re
needed to furnish the building and
the remainder will be used for con-
stru ton.
