Green replied that it had and the
settlement certified by the high
way department and the attorney
general.
English inquired about the
drainage upon the lot, Green
pointing out that although catch
basins had been constructed for
the purpose of carrying away the
water, heavy concentration of
water flowed past the basins.
"Don't you recall, Mr.. Green
English queried, "that when N. R.
Ryerson, attorney for Mrs. Ap-
pleton in 1884 called at your office
several times in regard to a set
tlement for damages that you said
that she had no compensation
coming and that you would not
pay any,.
81 do not, Green calmly an
swered, "Such statement might
| have been made by one of the
| highway departments attorneys
while / was not present, but not
by myself.
Mentioning that the Appleton
lot had been appraised at $3.50
English demanded from Green
if "you are in the habit of paying
$4,000 for property worth only
S480", but Katzmarek objected
and was sustained. A 10 minute
recess was called at this point
$500.
At the resumption of the pro-
ceedings four photographs show
ling various sections of the Apple
I ton residence and the lake view
from it were admitted as further
exhibits for the defense.
Green replied to a question by
katzmarek as to the appearance
of the home, saying that its con-
struction was very modern and
that its commanding and scenic
view of the lake made it a fine
home and a desirable piece OF
property. A copy of the option
was offered and accepted as evil
dence for the state.
White, one of the trio of tax
payers who instituted the proceed
ings was then called to the stand
after Green had spent more than
two hours testifying.
White, asked by English as to
his business, said that he handled
real estate property and smiled as
he stated that he has been the
owner of 10 residences.

Gordon Alexander
Tops Class of so
In West Point Exam

Gordon L. Alexander, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Alexander OF
Redwood Falls, was awarded the
appointment as principal candi-
date to West Point from the sew
enth congressional district by
Congressman Paul ]. Kavel, Tues
day, after receiving the highest
grades in the district in a civil
service examination which he
took January A at Columbia,
Missouri. His marks topped those
of about SO other youths in this
district.
A graduate of the Redwood
Falls High school with the class
of 1885, Gordon has attended the
U. S. Hall coaching school at Co
lumbia in preparation for West
Point examinations since Septem-
ber. He will take his validating
and physical examinations at Fort

minded value of the property in
December IA, 1934?" English ask
ed.
A. $4,000.
@. It's value October 15, 1885. /,
A. Still $4,000. l see no mater
ial change in value.
English started to ask another
question and Katzmarek broke in
to object, English shooting back,
"Wait until l finish my question,
will you please.
White, twisting a rubber binder
in his hands, while Katzmarek
was doing the same, stated under
question by the latter, that he had
not been inside the Appleton prop
erty since it was acquired by the
Appletons and that he based his
valuation from what he knew of
the house and what he had heard.
At this point, both Katzmarek
and Brechet sought to have the
testimony of the former four
times mayor of Redwood Falls
stricken from the record, assert
ing that Whites assumption was
merely from hearsay. Judge En-
ersen overruled.
Questioned further by Katz-
marek, White in slow even terms,
testified that he believed the Boil
lum property which was removed
to, make way for the bridge, was
of more value than the Appleton
tract, even though the dimensions
Of the Bollum lot is 1900 square
feet compared to the S,O56 square
feet of the Appleton land.
"Do you claim that there is
fraud and collusion in connection
with the settlement" Katzmarek
asked.
81 couldn't pass on that, White
replied.
Queried by Bundle if the dust,
added noises, vibrations of heavy
trucks, increased traffic past the
house and the ability to look
through the windows from the
highway, would not be considered
as damages, White replied, "No
more than any other home on
highway.
Bundle further stressed the
scenic beauty commanded by the
home, but White contended that
its location has always been a
point against its stability and
that the site would appeal only to
a minority. Court was then ad-
journed at 5 p. m. for the day.

BUICK SALES
HIT ALL-TIME
RECORD HIGH

FLINT, Mich.-Domestic retail de-
liveries of the Buick Motor COM
pany hit an all-time record during
the second 10 days of November,
with 6,977 cars turned over to new
owners in the United States.
This was the highest November
period on record, according to w. F.
Hufstader, president and gen.
eral sales manager, and compared
with 5,048 cars delivered during the
first 10 days of the month and 4,479
in the corresponding period of Nov
ember a year ago.
The rate of increase over last
years volume was 55.5 per cent,
Hufstader said, Notwithstanding the
fact that last November was a
record month following closely upon
the introduction of the 1886 models.
The sharp rise in domestic re-
tail deliveries is direct reflection
of increased shipments from the
Buick plant during recent weeks" :"
he said. Since the introduction of
the 1887 cars the ceiling of Buick
sales volume has been the ability of
the factory to produce and ship cars
The outstanding delivery record Of
the second 10 days of this month
did not cut into untitled orders on
hand at the factory. On the con-
trary, these were increased the early
part of this week to nearly $4,000
units with approximately the same
number on hand at zone and dis
tributor points throughout the
country"
The executive said that produc-
ton is being maintained at ca
pacity rate with plans now under
way to increase the present limit.
December schedules called for an
output of $4,000 cars, averaging
close to 1,400 cars per day. The
highest days output of 1887 models
to date has been Slightly over 1900
cars.

ham voted in favor of it and Su-
pervisors Dave Vencill and Osborne
opposed it.
Controversy over the division
waxed into personalities with Gra-
ham, Osborne and Preble taking
up the argument they dropped al
ter the last division of the money
during the summer.
Redistricting Suggested
Preble again suggested rediStrict-
ing or an engineer to run the ROADS
all over the county but this did
not meet with the APPROVAL of Os-
borne and Vencill. Preble then
suggested that the whole road
problem be turned over to Vencill
and his road foreman, Mike Year
gin. Vencill laughed at the prop
oSition even when urged 10 con-
slider it.
Osborne declared he diSliked the
arbitrary attitude of certain Of
the board members and promised
a showdown. He accused his op-
ponents in the matter of being
afraid to divide the funds as they
had let it accumulate when money
was needed to pay expenses OF
operating the district.
Osborne then asked what Charles
Gillett was doing and declared he
saw no reason for employing him
part time along with the Imperial
Irrigation district when it was
necessary to conserve road funds.
Chairman Evan T. Hewes and Di-
rector Charles Morrow were sum-
moned from district headquarters
to see if the district is getting
value from Gillett's employment.
Hewes said he had proved valu-
able in land deals, quiet title suits,
and checking property. Preble
and Graham said they used him
in checking property and that he
never had failed to do the work
they asked of him.
The supervisors approved the ex-
penditure of $855.72 to pay for
maintenance of the road to I'M
perial dam, this sum to be deduct
ed from the gasoline tax fund.
