WEDNESDAY, APRIL REPORT GIVES TOTAL LOSS OF MILL:AT DRAKE Is Placed at $120,916.70—Salle of Property Recommend- | ed By Auditor <=" | Losses on the state mill at Drake, closed since late in 1923, totalled $120,916.70, accordthg to a report by K. C. Nelson, auditor of the ‘state mill,and elevator association to the} state industrial commission which has supervision of the property. |The de- ficit at the end of 1924 as shown on the books was $98,168.58. The balance sheet of the property, filed wigh the report, shows assets and liabilities balancing at $169,144.04. Of the assets, however, $120,916.70 is listed as profit and loss and the plant | and eqyipment are listed as having an inventory value of $33,649.30, © Cagh in the Bank of North Dakota is listed at $12,748.47. The liabilities consist of $136,681.40 invested in the property by the mill and elevator association; $15,880.92 listed as reserve for depreciation and $16,581.72 charged as interest on the capital investment. Urges Sale of Property Although the industrial commission has failedto'find a purchaser for the mill, despite a legislative mandate that it be disposed of, Nelson urges that another special effort be made to sell the property. The only bids received by the industrial commisston a year ago represented approximately the junk value of the machinery. In chis report Nelson said: “The; mill has not beén in operation dur-! ing the last year; having been closed down the latter part of 1923 and re- mained closed since. There has been} a caretaker ‘during the last year, Mr. E. E. Nel: who is still in charge drawing a thly salary of $90. — | “To m Wwledge there has been | no special effort made to dispose: of | the property during the last year. During the year 1024 the board of managers acted in accordance with the action of the legislature in ad. vortising the property! for sale, but did not get a bid which was considers! ed. I would reeommend that some spe- cial effort be put forth to dispose of this property at the earliest possible! date as it is depreciating in value! véry fast, this is espegjally true of the machinery. The buildings are’ also in a rather unkept condition! owing to lack of paint. | Revenue Is Small | “As recommended in my 1924 re-| port, I will again call your attention | to the fact that the property is not in a presentable condition to show to prospective purchasers to advantage. The only revenue derived from the property during the year 1925 is $45 rent from part of the warehouse. The balance of the warehouse has been utilizedeby the Grand Forks Mill for, storing flour and the caretaker who is in charge of it has had charge of the distribution of flour from ware-/ house for which the Grand Forks Mill! has paid no rent, nor have they paid, the caretaker'’s salary except that! they are paying him an additional $10 per month over and above what he is/ paid by the Drake Mill funds. n conjunction. with schedule No. 8, Reserve for Interest and Deprecia- | tion. I have set up an additional re- serve for depreciation covering the years 1924 and 1925 on capital invest-| ment, calculating it on a basis of 6! per cent interest covering the two! year period which is $1,531.72. As far! as I kaow, there is no interest being! charged to the Drake Mill either from bonds sold or borrowed money, but the capital investment consists of} ansferring the Terminal Elevator, fund which was accumulated prior to 1919 to the Drake Mill. I think the institution should be charged with a reasonable interest rate on this cap- ital investment in order to show jus: how it stands.” -_ RE Sone ' TODAY. | on (Continued from page one) One medium ‘produced a first- class spirit that blew a long brass trumpet most brilliantly. ‘Those who know that it requires actual material lungs and lips to blow a material trumpet will, without sur- prise, learn that the medium him- self was the trumpet blower.

In the de present day transportation demand is for more frequent service rather than for trains with large if capac- ity and that the proposed bus line would give such service to the terri tory affected. Objection to granting the license was voiced by the Northern Pacific Railroad company on the ground that bus route would parallel its Me- Cooperstown branch, stigation showed that the rail- road runs one train each way daily and the commission held that the bus line would supplant sather than com- pete with the railroad since its schedule calls for the operation of busses in the direction opposite to that in which the trains are traveling. The Commission’s Ruling Laying down the rule on which it will decide similar ure the commission said: “A public utility dedicates its property to the furnishing of adequate service at a reasonable rate to the publi the public having the first considera- ley tion, Should it not make an ‘adequate | return on its investment it is for the utility to determine if the procewure is to curtail expenses or to apply to the regulatory body for an medans fight Asiatie Hindus while the British “Nordies” rule and col- lect the taxes.

The such ement shows that these cars may be operated at one-half to one-third the coat per mile as compared with the cost per mile of operating: the usual passenger train operated upon such branch line. “Ordinarily local passenger tr: are now making the same number of trips daily, furnishing practically the same service as was furnished 15 or 20 years ago at which time the public | was using horse-drawn vehicles. which mode of travel required longer time in which to make a journey.
