HOO TURKEYS STRUT |oiscussion of the sperry-otson Insurance Measure Nearly Causes Factional Fight DORMITORY BILL FAVORED Farm Storage Consideration Moves Slowly in Committee Due to Investigation Placards bearing copies of the ten commandments will disappear from the walls of North Dakota school rooms if the house approves of the action of the state senate in passing the Conrath bill, repealing the pres- ent law. Although it had been expected that | there would’ be considerable speech making when the bill came for pass- age Monday there was not a word of argument on the measure. The vote was 28 to 18. Two measures considered by the senate Monday. produced arguments and one came near to causing a divi- sion along factional lines, something fea has not been seen at this ses- lon. - It was the Sperry-Olson bill author- izing the state fire and tornado in- surance fund to carry the risks on all public buildings in the state without reinsurance. The fund was organized in 1919 to insure public buildings within the state and now has a sur- Plus of more than $1,000,000. Here- tofore it has reinsured some of the larger risks but managers of the fund now feel that it has reached sufficient size to meet all demands which may be made upon it. By eliminating the reinsurance feature, backers of the fund contend, its surplus will grow more rapidly than in the past, since the department has paid out more than $400,000 in reinsurance premiums and hgs collected only $60,000 from the companies carrying the reinsur- ance. Suggests Appropriation Senator Eastgate, Grand Forks county, suggested that it would be | inst cheaper for the state not to carry any insurance but to appropriate for in- surance losses. Senator Ettestad, McHenry county, Said he favored the idea but that it appeared impracticable and the next best thing was to permit the insur- @nce fund to carry the total risk. Benstor Watt, Cass county, said the rn “in risks and has a Teserve of $1,000,000. The losses ‘have been small for 10 years, he said, but that is no guarantee against hea-y losses in the future. ©. H. Olson, Eddy county, one of the sponsors of the bill, said the sur- plus in the fund had not been creai- ed by any remarkably good loss ex- perience but by the fact that the state departments operates on ‘hree Per cent of the premiums collected whereas private insurance companies require 40 per cent. Senator Steele, Stutsman county, reviewed the history of “he insucance business, saying that well established insurance companies now reinsure heavy risks.

AIRPORT MEASURES, SEWAGE SITES AND BAND TAX FAVORED Senate Cities and Municipalities Committee Votes for Passing Three Bills Proposed enabling legislation for the acquiring of airports and outside sites for city garbage dumps and sewage for allowing a majority authorization by the voters f a tax for municipal bands—all being city and municipal legislation —were recommended for passage by the senate cities and municipalities committee this morning. The city Planning bill, No. 74, Sathre, Steele county, also was taken up, but in the absence of Senator Forbes and of W. J. Lane, a Fargo realtor, and Aubrey Lawrence, a Fargo attorney, who de- sire to be heard-on the measure, the session was adjourned until the af- ternoon at the senate chamber. Myron Atkinson, Bismarck city auditor, said the city planning bill went beyond the mere idea of zon- ing. The bill before the committee, he said, would put teeth into the law under which Bismarck at present maintains a city’planning commission of advisory character. Senator Fowler said the bill before the committee was a standard law devised by the American League of Municipalities, in the form as enacted in Oregon. ‘There were two airport, sewage dis- ‘The bill provides, also, said Mr. Atkinson, that cities may acquire these sites and maintain them out of STANTON FURNISHES COMPLICATIONS BY - BRIDGE DRIVE PLANS Mercer County Seat’ Citizens Raise $500 to Send Dele- gation to Bismarck STANTON BUCKS GARRISON As McLean County Split Is Patched Up, Mercer Coun- ty Division Appears Virtually assured of Oliver county's support, backers of the bill which would give Washburn a bridge across the Missouri river today expressed in- creased confidence in the success of their campaign. At the same time, Stanton, situated on the river in Mercer county between Washburn and Garrison, was launch- ing a drive for the bridge. At a mass meeting of 500 Stanton citizens last night $1,000 was raised to send a dele- gation to Bismarck to represent Stan- ton's plea. Oliver county's support will furnish enough added impetus to put the Washburn bridge across at this ses- sion of the legislature is the beliet of G. A. Lindell, Washburn attorney; and Representative Oscar Oberg, Mc- Lean county. Garrison's support of the Washburn bridge was secured a few days ago when «@ reciprocity agreement was signed by members of the Garrison Civic club and the Washburn Com- munity club. Formal Announcement Formal announcement of Oliver county’s support was expected some time today at a meeting of represen- tatives from Garrison, Washburn, and Oliver county. Belief that Oliver county will sup- port the Washburn bill was expressed, in Bismarck today by Chris Skibina and A. 8. Dennison, Oliver county ‘auditor. They said that Oliver county was Washburn movement. mp qaeeeaersel teen + bill: asking ly $100,000 for the bridge and $3,000 for the sounding of the Garrison site was considered in an open meeting by the house committee on highway end bridges last night.
