THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1936 I VILLAGE ORDERED T0 VOTE ON BOND ISSUE Controversy Over Valuation Is Carried to Court by Knox Taxpayers Devils Lake, N. D., April 15.—(P}— ‘The village of Knox in Benson coun- ty was ordered by District Judge C. ‘W. Butts Wednesday to carry through ®@ proposed election to determine whether $3,300 in village bonds should be issued to match federal monies for construction of a town hall. Residents of the village petitioned the village trustees to submit the pro- posal to popular vote. In view of $1,200 in outstanding vil- lage bonds the village board held the bonds could not be issued because of @ constitutional and statutory pro- vision that bonds may not be issued in @ greater amount than five per cent of the assessed valuation. Claiming the assessed valuation of the village was $3,200, the board contended the bond issue in question would exceed the debt limit as there was an ap- parent margin of only $2,000 for bond- ing’ after the $1,200 of outstanding bonds had been deducted from the total that might be issued. A taxpayer brought a mandamus proceeding against the village trus- tees, attempting to force the vote on the bond issue. Judge Buttz, in directing the trus- tees to proceed with the election, as- serted that in computing village in- debtedness all offsets must be consid- ered, including levied but uncollected taxes, even though such levies may never be collected. As a result he held Knox had §1,- 325.41 in its general fund, $258.11 in cash in its sinking fund; and levied but uncollected taxes of $4,637.24 due the city. This, with the five per cent assessed valuation, totals $9,520.76, he said, while the proposed bond issue and present bonded indebtedness to- tal but $4,500, leaving $5,020.76 mar- gin. “No distinctions are made either in our statutes or in the decisions which bind the district court between col- lectible and uncollectible outstanding taxes,” Judge Buttz said.

Mullaney of the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce faced the task Wednesday of organizing a commit- tee to seek legislation which would scrap reciprocal trade agreements and Place restrictions on imports of raw materials. The eight-state farm tariff confer- ence, sponsored by the chamber em- powered Mullaney Tuesday to name a committee to carry out its mandate. The conference resolutions called for legislative adoption of a five- point program, which received en- dorsement of George N. Peek, former AAA administrator who split with the administration on its foreign trade Policies. While the resolutions were adopted without dissent, two groups went on record as favoring the present soil conservation program, the Frazier- Lemke farm refinancing bill and the principle of cost of production. The conference’s five-point pro- gram: Restrict importation of all raw ma- terials from the farms, forests and mines. Repeal the reciprocal trade agree- ments made under the act. Revise upward the tariffs on raw materials enough to establish tariff parity between raw materials and manufactured Develop to the fullest extent pos- sible all available foreign markets, by subsidies, the equalization fee or some similar principle, and stimulate es- tablishment of new industries which can utilize domestic raw materials.

Beginning Tuesday afternoon ‘at least 25 flocks of geese, ducks and cranes winged their way northward over Bismarck, flying high. The migration continued into the night and throughout the city dogs howled during the early evening as the eerie squawks of migrating cranes came down to them through the stillness.
