Persons for whom the houses were built are said to have refused to pay taxes and houses in Fargo and Bismarck will be advertised for tax sale. The resolution of the Industrial Commission follows: “Whereas, it appears that on the houses built by the Home Builders Association under the direction of our predecessors in office the taxes have not been paid, although such taxes have long since been due and | become delinquent, and “Whereas, the houses thus built in | the cities of Fargo and Bismarck will be sold, and have been advertised for sale on the 13th day of December, 1921; pursuant to the laws of this state governing the sale of property for delinquent taxes, and “Whereas, the persons for whom such houses were built have refused | and neglected to datg to pay such taxes, although most of them are still living in such homes, and “Whereas, the Home Builders As- sociation has no funds out of which ! to pay such taxes” and to protect the interests and the investment of the state of North Dakota, in such houses, and “Whereas it is necessary in order to protect the interest of the state that some action be taken to prevent any loss of the said property, hecause of such sale, now, “Therefore, be it resolved that the Attorney-General take any and all le- gal proceedings to set aside such tax sale and to protect the investment in such homes made by the State of North Dakota, and to prevent a loss to the taxpayers of the state on ac- | count of the failure of persons for} whom such homes were built to pay the taxes thereon, and “Whereas, this matter has just at this time been brought to the atten- tion of the Commission by accident and has not been reported to the Cor mission by its predecessors in office, or by the atting manager, Mr. Adams; and no steps having ‘been taken by our predecessors or the manager of the Home’ Building Association, Mr. Adams, to protect the interests of the state in this regard, ‘and “Be It Further Resolved, that such action be taken as soon as possible after such sale has been made.” START AUDIT ~ORSTATEBANK Firm Employed By Industrial Commission Enters Bank Audit of the affairs of the Bank of North Dakota as a preliminary to the turning over of the bank to a new manager was commenced early today. ‘Employes of the Bishop, Brissman and company were in charge of the work which it is expected will be compleie:l in short order.

' Congress has aided in improving |the situation, he says, by passing at ‘the special session legislation of a (constructive chi er that “will be {more helpful than is now realized.” |He points to the extension of the pow- jer of the War Finance Corporation; |the increase in the capital of the Fed- eral farm land banks, and the bring- {ing of the packers and market agen- |cies and the grain exchanges under government supervision. Reviewing the work of the various bureaus of the department, Mr. Wal- lace says that during the past year more improved roads were built un- Ider the federal aid road act than dur- {ing any similar period, the mileage completed being more than three ‘times as great as the entire mileage completed during the preceding years under the act. During the fiscal year 7,469 miles of highways were completed and 17,977 miles were un- der construction. Under a policy now being worked out by the department, the secretary says, it is estimated that the two na- tional forests in Alaska can furnish perpetually 2,000,000 cotds of pulp wood annually, amounting to an equivalent of one-third of the present. annual consumptign in this country. Two large sales already have been made with one small mill erected, Mr. Wallace says, and with financial and industrial conditions returning to normal it is éxpected that there will pe extensive development along this jline. dem Aolicited. —in Romantic Co.

The entire sum will be turned over to the high school athletic association giving a fine start for the heaviest basketball schedule in the history of the school. It was decided at a meeting called Friday afternoon at the school that the regular high school colors be changed, black and white being the combination chosen.
