PROGRAM] Secretary Goddard Calls Atten- tion to Danger of Losing One Congressman COURT HOUSE NEED SHOWN | Fire Risk to Records Becoming Too Great; Wider Sport Ac- tivity Recommended Although listed.as a minor project of the Association of Commerce for the year, Secretary H. P. Goddard, at the annual dinner, laid considerable emphasis on the part the coming census will play in North Dakota's national relationships. and urged, therefore, that close and effective cooperation be given the enumerators when the count is made in April. ‘Unless North Dakota can show 683,000 population, he reminded the dinner party, the state will lose one of its three congressmen, It, therefore, 1s important, he said, that an accurate count of the noses in the state be made. The program of activities also em- races, aside from its publicity, high- ‘way, new court house and auto traf- fic and parking rules items, a recom- mendation for a trade and economic survey of the Bismarck territory. The facts in this area as they relate to the development’ of the city are desired, 80 that effective publicity can be put out and prospective industry in- formed as to what the city has to offer for location here. Need of a new court house also was stressed by Secretary Goddard in an- nouncing the 1930 program. He called attention to the fire risk to which the invaluable county records are subjected. A far greater cost than a new building would be entailed in trying to replace these if a fire should destroy them, he said.
