BOND BUREAU | orator PILES UP BALANCE) Has Operated at Average Profit of 48 Per Cent Since Start in 1919 North Dakota's state bonding de- partment, in existence since 1919, has operated at an average profit of 48 per cent since its inception, Harold Hopton, state insurance commission- tr, said Thursday. This state's first bonding act was passed in 1913, but its first years were fraught with litigation, and it was not for six years that a bonding depart- ment was successfully set up. Under the act all public officials end employes of the state and of its political subdivisions, wherever re- quired, are bonded with the depart- ment. Since 1919, the average cost of op- eration of the department has been 8.4 per cent. The department is lim- {ted to 10 per cent. Losses have been comparatively small, according to Hopton, who said that since establishment of the state bonding fund, a total of $1,032,767 has been collected in premiums, in- terest and recovery, while losses nave totaled $303,748. Refunds and re- insurance during the period has amounted to $74,175. Operating costs for the 16-year period, including sal- aries, have totaled $97,235. In the fund now is a balance of 557,607, invested principally in North Dakota state bonds and certificates of deposit in the Bank of North Da- kota. The department has recov- ered a total of $28,084 on losses sus- tained. ‘The department bonds all state officials, employes and officers of counties, and those of school dis- tricts, cities, villages and townships, and of all state institutions. “We hope that within the next few years the fund may have a large enough interest account to pay losses and expenses without charging fur- ther premiums,” Hopton declared. LONG'S FILIBUSTER HURT N. D. INDIGENT State Funds Not Available Un- legs Matched by U. S. Aid, Martell Says Filibuster of U. 8, Senator Huey P. Long, which blocked enactment of an appropriations measure containing monies for social security, has given North Dakota old-age pensioners a, setback, State Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor Theodore Martell declared Thursday. He pointed out that the average $20 per year pension received by North Dakota’s aged needy now cannot be supplemented by federal funds unless President Roosevelt diverts other ‘unds for the purpose. Monies directed to be diverted from the sales tax fund, through the state welfare board, also cannot be used, in Martell’s opinion, because of provi- sions of the state law, directing the $100,000 set aside be used “in coor- lination” with federal money. Martell had hoped the average F, TRAFFORD TAYLOR DR. FRANK A. EVERSULL JULY STORE SALES IN NORTHWEST UP Western North Dakota One of Districts in Which Gains Are Recorded Minneapolis, Aug. 29.—()—July sales by country department and gen- eral stores in the ninth federal re- serve district were 19 per cent higher during July than in the same period @ year ago, the Federal Reserve bank of Minneapolis said Thursday. The bank, in attributing part of jthe increase to one more business day in July of this year, said: every see- tion of the district shared in the im- provement of sales. The largest gains were shown in southeastern, south central and north central Minnesota, in Montana; in the Red River Valley, western North Dakota, southeastern South Dakota and northwestern Wisconsin and Michigan. During the same period city de- partment stores had a gain of 16 per cent, the bank said, with most other business records of the area showing increases during July over a year ‘ago, also. The daily average of bank debits was 10 per cent larger and the daily ‘average of country check clearings 25 per cent larger than a year ago, the report stated. Another increase wi shown in all classes of freight car- loads, with the exception of grain and grain products, livestock and coal. Building permits, flour production, linseed product shipments, copper output, grain marketings, country lumber sales and wholesale trade, all showed improvement over July of BENNETT 0.
