SCHOOLS HAVE DIFFICULT TIME Hard to Find Means of Paying Expenses Reports to various state depart- ments tell of many difficulties encoun- tered by schooj districts of the state through the application of the tax limitation law of 1921. Many school officers are inquiring as to the pos- sibility of repeal of the law at the the legislature in or- ‘next sessior der ti f.) xs ah ne rural] school dig ‘ically everything he owned, includ- trict in McIntosh county was cited ing 5,920 acres of land in Mercer by a school inspector. This district had had a surplus fund for a special ;» Purpose but decided to use it.in 1918 and, 11919 jfor gofcial purposes, no school tax being levied for these years. There was a balance left so that,;but $1,500 was levied in 1920. Since..the, law providgd, that the tax levies (of 1921! should, not, exceed one- third of: the combined Jevies of 1918, 1919 and 1920, except that school dis- tricts might levy 20 per cent addition- al and 25 per cent additional might be levied by vote of the people, the school district was able to levy only a very small tax for 1921 and is in dire need of funds. At Crary, Ramsey county, a new school had been erected and it was necessary to raise funds to provide furnishings, according to the inspec- tor’s report, but because of the law it was limfted in making the school house available for students.

WINS $250,000 CONTRACT CASE Hebron Business Man Held Not Bound to Purchase Florida Lands Under Agreement INVOLVED MUCH PROPERTY Contract Provided For Sale of Valuable N. D. Property in Exchange for Florida Land The supreme court, in a decision handed down today, found in favor of former Senator Ferdinand Leutz, of Hebron, in a suit instituted against him by Geo. ‘H. Paul, formerly of Bismarck, and C, ‘R. Kwans for $250,- 000 damages, the suit growing out of a contract for sale by the latter to Leutz of Florida lands, The decision was unanimus. It was written by Judge Robinson, signed also by Justices Bronson and Birdzell and Justice Grace and Chris- tianson concurred separately in the result. The syllabus says: “This is a suit for the specific performance of a con- tract and for $250,000 damages. Paul, the plaintiff, appeals from a judgment cancelling the contract on the ground that it is uncertain, unconscienable, void for want of mutuality and non- performance by the plaintiff. There is little ground for disputing either the law or the essential facts. Held, that the judgment is clearly right and is affirmed. hea Origin of Suit. ‘Desire f Mr, Lutz to live in a mild- er climate led to the deal which re- sulted in the lawsuit. According to briefs submitted in the case the agree- ment involved the sale and trade of property of Mr. Loutz in North Oa- ota for property in Florjda. It is set out that Geo. H. Paul, then living in Bismarck and_ engaged in ‘eal estate promotion, and C. R.. Evans irst met Mr Leutz, a former state senator, in June or July, 1920. In August they negotiated for the sale and purchase of property, Senator Leutz making a trip to Florida. Paul and Evans agreed to turn over to Senator Leutz for the value of $200,000 a deed for 20,000 acres of a tract of 56,000 acres in Liberty county, Florida. They were to form a corpor- ation with $600,000 capital stock, of which Leutz would have $300.000, the plaintiffs $140,000 and $160,000 would be treasury stck. Involved N. D.
