aa & HIGHER APPRAISAL OF WACHTER TRAGT EXCEEDS FUND SET Coard of Administration Has; Enough Appropriation to Buy Only Portion Now PRICE ATTACKED WAS $68) Outcome of Agitation Is Ap-) praiscrs’ Valuation Setting $91.50 per Acre Appraise! at $91.50 an acre of land whieh tie state board of administra- tion propcsed to buy for the state penitentiary here brought no joy in Official circies at the capitol. The} re was arrived at by a board of ree appraisers, Worth Lumry, Irvin Sma!l and Charles Swanson, appoint- ed by the district court to fix the value of the land in condemnation dings brought by the board a* direction of the legislature. Although 1) indulged in yo ex- pressions of “I told you so,” :t was apparent that some members of the bo: of administration refrained enly after great effort. The section of land which the state sought to add to the farm operated by the state prison, lies just south of the institution and was averred by the hoard to be ideal for its purposes. In 1928 it purchased 240 acres of the plot rom V. Lahr for $63 an acre and en- | tered into a contract to purchase the remainder at the same price when) lature money This contract brought a storm of, protest at the legislative session of! 1929 end some senators claimed that | the board had paid too much money | Cowboy Film Actor Pays $177,- for the land. Recognizing the pen- itentiary’s necd more farm land. however. the legislature appropriated $26,480 “or so much thereof as may be necessary.” to buy the land. At the same time it directed the board of administration to institute con- demnating proceedings to fix the fortune in the motion pictures, is} value of the land. Before the money became available and the condemation proceedings could be launched. the land was sold to Wachter brothers of Bismarck, who have since averred that tuey do not want to sell it. The price paid by the Wacaters was not publicly disclosed. ‘When the apnraisal board lifted the value of the land $23.50 an acre above the amount for which the board had contracied to get it, however, it made the legislative appropriation insuffi- cient to buy all the land it had been intended to purchase. The board has not decided if it will buy as much of the land as its appro- priation will cover or will wait until the next legislative session and pre- sent the matter for its further con- sideration. Northwestern Rates .Protested as High Supplementing a protest of the Minneapolis Traffic association, the North Dakota siate railroad board has protested to the Interstate Commerce commission against new tariffs filed by Northwestern railroads, to Yecom? eficctive March 10. j It is charged that the now tariffs: provide for “substantial increases in charges on diverted or reconsigned{ freight” despite the faci that the tall-| reads assert the new tariffs to be re- ductions from present rates. The board esks that the proposed tariffs be suspended and that the railroads “be required to justify the most un-/| usual and exorbitant increases inj rates that they have proposed.” i Road Boards to Aid | Car License Policy: Members of the state highway); commission have leni their influence to the effort of W.

It pays to look ahead and consider reliability and ultimate up-keep costs, as well as comfort, safety, speed, and beauty of line and color. Since most automobiles are bought for replace- ment, the value set on your used car is a factor in almost every purchase. Frequently it is given an importance beyond its true worth. Used cars have a definite market value and you are justly entitled to an allowance based on that value. It is not fair that you receive less. It is not \ to your best interests to receive more. Ir a dealer pays you more than the true worth of the car he must either re-sell it to some one else at too high a price or make up the difference on the new car. This he cannot do unless he is allowed an excessive profit on the car or on financing, extra equipment and other charges. In either case, you pay the bill, for no way has yet been found to give : something for nothing. The money must come from somewhere. ‘ Roadster, $435 Phaeton, $440 ~ Iwo-window Fordor Sedan, $600 “ky ‘ _ Tudor Sedan, $500 ‘Three-window Fordor Sedan, $625 - Cabriolet, 8645. All prices f. 0. b. Detroit. Convenient low tinie payments arranged through the Universal Credit Company FORD MOTOR You may not get the largest used-car allowance from the Ford dealer, but that very fact should give you confidence that you are receiving full value in the new car. Ford charges are not marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in allowance on your old car. Because there is no waste, extravagance or undue profit in manufacturing, distribution or selling, every dollar you payfor a Ford brings a full dollar ’ in return. In lower first cost, in reliability and long life, in the low cost of operation, service and replacement parts, the Ford will save you much | more than the seeming difference in trade allowance.
