> é f > x 5 BFFORTS TO RELIEVE | MARKET SITUATION TOBE MADE FRIDAY Railroads Will Be Asked to Re- duce Demurrage Charges on Grain at Terminals Minneapolis, Aug. 22.—()—Efforts to relieve the unfavorable situation created in the present crop move- ment in the northwest by the ninc- day embargo announced yesterday on barley, rye and oats shipments will be made here Friday by the railroads, the grain trade and business interests, | it was announced today. Executives of railways, members of the northwest shippers’ advisory board and business interests will meet Fri- day in a conference, at which spokes- men for the grain trade will ask rail- roads to reduce demurrage charges which must be paid on grain not un- loaded within 48 hours after arrival; at the terminal market. The grain interests will ask the railroads to cut their demurrage charges to $1 a day, as provided by the emergency clause in the demur- rage provisions of the interstate com- merce act. Permission of the inter- state commerce commission would b2 necessary to apply the emergency clause. The railroads will be asked to keep the $1-a-day rate in effect until Sept. 30, when it is believed the Lead of the grain rush will have Passed. Both railway officials and spokes- men for grain marketing companies declared today the situation, from the farmers’ viewpoint, is not as serious as it appears to be. Country elevators in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, they said, are filled on the average from one-half to two-thirds of their peak working capacity. This means, these officials said, that if necessary the line and inde- pendent and farmer-owned elevators at grain-shipping towns can increase their total grain in storage by at least cne-third. The available space +s roughly estimated at 80,000,000 bushels which country elevators can accept! without becoming gorged. GRIMSON RESTRAINS BUILDING OF BRIDGE Rules No Emergency Exists “ Minot and Orders Injunc- tion Made Permanent Minot, N. D., Aug. 22.—Ruling against the contention that an emer- gency existed, under which the board of Ward county commissioners claimed the authority to contract for the construction of a bridge across the Mouse river near Oak park, without petition and call for bids, Judge G. Grimson of Rugby Tuesday le permanent an injunction, re- ing the board and P. L. Elliott, ea po! contractor, from pro- ceeding with its costruction. The decision of the judge was fav- orable to the position taken by K. M. Haas, A. A. Schultz, and D. B. Huston, plaintiffs in the case, who asked for the injunction on the grounds that the county board did not follow the statutes in attempting to award a contract to Mr. Elliot without advertising for bids. Although prior to rendering his decision Judge Grimson had declared his belief that the commissioners acted in good faith in the attempted award of the contract, he ruled that the contract attempted was illegal and void. In declaring that. no cmergency existed, as contemplated under the emergency statute, Judge Grimson held that the condition of the bridge was foreseen. He also cited testi- mony brought forth in the recent hearing on the case, from which it was evident that the board permit- ted the bridge to be used for heavy gravel hauling for nearly 30 days after the alleged danger was dis- covered.
