i < . TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1929 ‘BILL ASKING MONEY TO PROBE UTILITIES IS FACING TROUBLE $200,000 Saving Would Be Ef- fected by Evaluation With $40,000 Appropriation Trouble lies in the pathway of a bill before the North Dakota legisla- ture to appropriate $40,000 for the board of railroad commissioners to evaluate public utility properties in }the state. This fact, indicated last week, came strongly to the fore in the house committee of the whole Monday. A lively debate on the measure ended with the question still up in the air. No vote was taken. commissioners recel' a similar appropriation in 1919 and that public utilities evaluation should now be completed. Its supporters contend that the appropriation would bring about a saving to the state since public utilities have increased ‘and new evaluations should be made. Four bills were pessed by the house without discussion during a short session. The “third house,” fun or- ganization of legislative employes, took charge for the remainder of the day and staged their annual program. Mau Opens Attacks Pred E. Mau, Ransom county, who questioned the commission bill last week, opened attack on the measure Monday. J. H. Burkhart, Ward county, and R. E. Swendseid, Mountrail county, responded by pointing out that the $40,000 appro- priation was not to create a new bu- Teau but to survey public utilities under former law and to consider new rates. L. L. Twichell, Cass county, assert- ed that the board of railroad com- missioners has a regular budget to work upon and that it was given funds at the time of its formation in 1919 to make a survey of public utili- ties. “Why was this survey not made?” he queried. “Why ask for money now?” ©. E. Erickson, Kidder county, de- clared that if the board could get this appropriation, its investigations would save $200,000 for the people of ‘tthe state. “Policies should cut no figure considering this problem,” Fred Kneeland, Stutsman county, said. “People of the state should have a air rate for electricity and gas and if this survey will bring that about, the appropraition should be made.” New Survey Needed “There were not many high lines in the state when the board made its in G. new survey is needed,” A. J. Rulon, a igemes county, also spoke for the “No question before the house is more important than this one,” Mrs. Lavina Amsberry, Williams county, declared. “A survey of this nature is necessary. Public utilities have hanged in the last 10 years and we must make ready for the future by such @ survey.” The house voted for reconsideration @ bill rejected Saturday which would require posting of prices of milk and milk products at cream stations. The bill was re-referred to state affairs committee. Student Fad Creates White Vest Market Ashland, Wis.—(AP)—The mark- Farm Managers Open Convention at Fargo Fargo, N.

MIGRATORY BRO BLL SIGNED BY COOLIDE REPARATIONS BODY EXPAND COMMITTEE Point Is Reached Where Ques- tion Is Whether Germany or France Proposes First Paris, Feb. 19.—(#)—The sub-com- mittee appointed by the reparations commission to find a method of pro- cedure for the future work of the ex- Perts has run into a snag and conse- quently, has been enlarged and told to try again. When the committee, which con- sisted of Sir Josiah Britain, and Dr. president of the German Reichsbank, reported this morning, they said that they had failed to find a mutually able procedure.

Y., Feb. 19—(P)— In “Old Treason House,” where Ben- edict Arnold plotted with Major An- dre, wreckers have found a box con- taining this poem: When comes the day ‘These lines are found and read He who wrote these humble lincs Lies numbered with the dead. The author is still alive. The own- er of the property penned the poem in 1901, apparently thinking the house would be preserved indefinite- ly.

Parmentier, of France, Pro- fessor Suvitch, of Italy, and M. Gutt, of Belgium. The procedure which the sub-com- mittee was asked to determine was to enable both the debtor and credi- tors in the reparations account to submit an offer and put in claims that might form the groundwork of the main committee's further deliber- ations. The American members of the com- mittee apparently are taking an ef- faced, impartial and independent at- titude in the reparations problem since they were not included even in the second sub-committee. The point at issue seems to be: Who will speak up first? Will the Germans, following their presentation of the economic situa- tion in Germany, say: “We can pay only so much and only so fast?” or will Germany’s creditors state the minimum sums with which they would be satisfied in liquidation of reparations?

The Italo-Vatican treaties were ready for approval, it is revealed, when His Holiness, with one stroke of a red pencil, cut off from vatican territory that part of the land on the left_of papal state looking toward St. Peter’s which would have inelud- ed the buildings of the holy office and the oratory of St. Peter. The pontiff explained that if he acquired these grounds he would gain new “subjects” and he wished to do everything possible to avuid that status. He reiterated that he had not been inspired by any desire for territo: or purely temporai power in making the ona _He said if he acce; the two jieces of land he would have to al- low there many families, including numerous children from around the sa possibly several hundred in all.
