NO SCHOOL FUND AVAILABLE FOR NEW BUILDINGS State Treasury is Depleted for |. Bond Purchases It Is Announced Building of schools and other pub- lic buildings, the financing of which is usually, provided. by the state board of university and school lands, may be temporarily delayed throughout the state because funds, for this purpose in the state treasury are exhausted. This fact became known today when the Mandan school board at- tempted to. obtain $25,000 from the state board for the construction of a school. -A. D, Gunderson, land com- missioner, and Miss Minnie J. Niel- son, superintendent of public in<truc- tion, both told the Mandan ‘authori- ties that there had been so many. ap- plications for furids for schoo! build- ing purposes that the money collected for that purpose had been exhausted some time ago. Heretofore the board of uhiversity ang school lands has purchased school bonds from the various municipalities and lesger subdivisions in the state. This year, it is claimed, because of the poor crop conditions’ in the west- ern part of the state, many places are unable to meet the interest obliga- tions on their outstanding ‘bonds thereby reducing the board’s rev- enues . considerably, This fact, coupled; with the {increased demand for money. to build new schools, has. exhausted the fund. All applications for funds will prob- ably have to wait. until next fall or winter before receiving consideration, it was Lever iinet ( 1,181 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE AUTO RIDE’ ‘Four cars running on regular sche- dule, and two as extras for special calls, carried 171 people during the Lahr Motor Sales Company's ‘‘Have A Ride” days—Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
