As a result of the firmly continued policy of retrenchment, the Board’s payroll was reduced in the past fis- cal year by 1,612 employes and by tees is a' disappointment to the French government and the members of the commission, inasmuch as they feel that the lack of American par- ticipation would greatly diminish the authority and prestige with which the committees could have worked. The American attitude was not un- expected, however, and what should be done in such circiimstances has already been informally considered. The situation in Germany is such that it is felt that the expert com- mittees, even without the aid of the United States, must undertake to devise a constructive plan to restore but one privately owned water plant serving the larger cities of the state. The city of Bismarck has entered in possession of the water works sys- tem here and will complete additions it had already started. Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Minot, Mandan and Valley City all have municipal water systems. So far as is known by officials of the railroad commission the Devils Lake water plant, owned by the Midwest Power Company, is the only private- ly-owned plant left in the state, and as such is the only water works sys- tem in the state subject to the Preus to Come Here ecutives of Minnesota, North sioner Bowen of Minnesota Dakota and Probably Gov.

Some elements in both the House and Senate still contend it woul@ be unwise to tamper with the tax sta- tutes, while others are determined to make a bold fight for revision. In the latter class are those who agree with Secretary Mellon’s plan, and those who do not accept his views, but believe there should be changes to lift and shift the tax burden.

The city of Bismarck paid $265,000 for the Bismarck Water Supply Com- pany’s plant, and will spend approxi- 00 in improvements, the German government's finances and the currency.
