ASK FEDERAL HELP
TO survey STATES
WATER RESOURCES
Planning Board Wants $780,
600 for General csologi-
cal Investigation
Appealing to the feeders

Appealing TO the federal government
to help North Dakota ascertain its
exact ground water resources, and the
rate Of decline, the state planning
board has asked the national resources
board and the PWA for q grant OF
approximately 100000 for q state
wide survey Of ground and we'll water
levels.
"Dr. H. e. Simpson, state geologist
and chairman Of the water resources
committee Of the planning board. esti-
mates that IN adequate staff Of train.
ed workers could complete this state
wide survey by late this year." M. o.
Ryan, executive secretary. said.
Data thus provided would guide
drilling operations on private and COM
rnunity projects. It would determine
the type and sire Of well required and
would enable geologists to forecast
with considerable accuracy the quail
ity and quantity Of water to be found
at certain levels.
I'm appealing to the PWA for this
federal grant. the board felt that be-
fore any intelligent planning could be
accomplished In agricultural or indus
trial fields, the actual levels and ex-
tent Of our ground water resources
would have to Be known" declared ].
p. Cain, Dickinson, chairman.
AT the present time. We are being
constantly advised Of private and
community well drilling operations
which are proving 80 expensive - to
b almost impractical, because Of the
absence Of current data. Many times
this total sum might be saved in fu-
ture drilling. the data thus gained also
providing . basis for an orderly de-
velopment Of farm and city proper
ties"

DELINQUENT TAXES
PENALTY, INTEREST
Auditor, Treasurer Authorized
to Accept Original Levy
az Payment IN Full

Burleigh county commissioners. fol-
lowing the precedent set In other
North Dakota counties and on rec
ommendation of Attorney General p.
o. Satire, Saturday cleared the way
for the payment Of delinquent real
estate taxes with the penalty and In
terest Cancelled.
A resolution authorizing County
Treasurer Ernest Elness and County
Auditor G. @. Derby to accept pay
ments Of the delinquent taxes under
these terms was passed by the board
at the closing session Saturday after
noon.
The payments viii Be made under
the terms OF the legislation passed BY
the last session OF the Legislature de-.
spite the fact that the measure did
not have m emergency clause 1T
tached and consequently would not
become effective until July !, 1885.
Satire, In advising the passage Of
the resolution. pointed out that the
legislative act was primarily IN emer-
gency measure and the action Of the
county boards will speed It's opera
ton.
The attorney general gave two rea-
sons for his decision. First he de-
clared It was the intention Of the leg
islators to make the act effective i'm.
mediately and that the omission Of
the emergency clause was IN over
sight. Second. he pointed out that
many taxpayers would delay In max
ing their tax payments until July l
in order to take advantage Of the
cancellation.
Delinquent tax collections in Bur-
leigh county, which fell off consider
ably during March, have already
proved the correctness Of eathre's
reasoning and q counties are badly
In need Of the funds It vas deemed
advisable to make the measure i'm.
mediately effective.
The oct Of the county commission
ers win not only speed up payments
Of the taxes but win also facilitate the
obtaining Of federal loans 70 uquidate
