Most of the resolutions declared that the present campaign against the soviet union for its attitude towards the church can only serve to inten- aify the enthusiasm of the workers to carry out the five year industrializa- tion, the driving out of the kulak, in the membership of soviet atheistic societies. . Workers in the Minsk district started a fund for the construction of an airplane to be called “Our Answer ‘to Pope Pius.” From the Voronesh district workers sent to the Moscow industrialization fund as “an answer to the pope” ten carloads of church bells and metal taken from church. altars, crosses, ikons and similar religious Father.

Will Slash Additional One Hour and a Quarter From Sched- sule of Crack Flyers a i i bled afiesegie & Necessary 60 per Cent Majority Secured, Tabulation in 49 =H, Precinots Shows ay 75 PER CENT FAVOR MOVE Construction Not Possible Be- fore July, With Completion Probably Next January — Burleigh county will build a $250,000 courthouse and jail. With official reports from 49 and unofficial reports from three other Precincts of the county's 60 polls tab- ulated this morning, it was ascer- tained that the bonding proposal se- cured the necessary 60 per cent ma- jority in the election Tuesday. Fifty-two precincts gave a vote of 2,696 for and 893 against the court- house proposal while the same pre- cincts polled 2,387 votes for and 1,048 against the construction of a new jail in connection with the courthouse. Seventy-five per cent of the votes in the 52 precincts favored the court- house construction and 69 per cent favored the new jail. Precincts which hadn't made of- ficial reports to County Auditor A. C. Isamigner this morning were Telfer, Sterling, Tryge. Cromwell, Crofte, Rock Hill, Phoenix, Richmond, Stei- ber, Schrunck, and Hazel Grove. Un- official reports have been received from Telfer, Sterling, and Crofte, however. ‘With Mr. Isaminger estimating that less than 400 votes are to heard from in the remaining 11 precincts, it appears certain that the drive has been successful. Construction of the new county building probably will not be started until July, it was predicted this morn- ing by George F. Will, chairman of the board of county commissioners. Mr. Will said that the bonding will come up for consideration at the next regular meeting of the board, which comes’ April 'l.. “At this time,” he said, “we can make its for disposal of the bonds. But I doubt that we will be able to have the plans ;|drawn up, accepted, and construction bids let before sometime in July.” This would indicate that Burleigh county cannot expect completion of its new building until late next fall or shortly after Jan. 1, 1931.
