Creating “the rural electrification authority of North Dakota” to en- courage the use of electric energy | by making it available at the lowest cost possible, Authorizing the use of bonds for construction and operation of rev- enue-producing undertakings by mu-| nicipalities. | Authorizing municipalities to coop- erate with housing authorities and the United States. ‘Authorizing corporate agencies of the United States and corporations receiving aid from the United States to exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire property for hous- ing projects. Declaring the necessity of creat- ing public bodies known as housing authorities to engage in sium clear- ance and projects to provide dwell- ing accommodations for persons of ow income. Ask Low Cost Electricity In senste bill 202, known as the power district law, was made a “dec- Jaration of policy” that economic conditions “accentuated and brought into bold relief by the present de- Pression require a program to make available an abundant supply of electricity at the lowest cost consist- ent with sound economy and prudent management for use in rural areas for the purpose of raising the stand- ard of living, promoting more efficient use and operation of agricultural resources and of providing employ- ment.” “Urgent necessity for providing employment, and experience in other methods of meeting this problem,” 4s said, “demonstrate the necessity for providing a simple and expeditious procedure for carrying out this pro- gram.” ‘The bill declares that the procedure in the act is the “only feasible and practicable method for creating the administrative units” for making available to the state federal of power districts to be considered municipal power districts with auth- ity to conduct and operate utilities for the production and distribution of electric energy and for the issuance of bonds.

Members of the lower assembly pre- pared for a session possibly well into the night Thursday, as they listened to the warning of Speaker William house day’s legislative work had been com- pleted. Wednesday’s Legislature (By the Associated Press) Senate Introduced 36 bills and resolu- tions. Referred to committee 18 pro- Posals to allow operation of vari- ous federal recovery acts under North Dakota laws.

Simplifying portions of the motor vehicle law, ani providing for meth- of obtaining duplicate plates from county registrars, was also ap- proved in a bill passed by the house.
