Instructions on the spring program for sanitation and law enforcement were given the inspectors from all divisions including beer, food, oil and sanitation, by A. J. Gerlach, state regulatory head. Law enforcement, including regula- tions against gambling machines and unstamped cigarets, was discussed by Assistant Attorney General Charles A. Verret. ‘The inspectors from over the state will hear C. 8. Ladd, state food com- missioner and chemist, Tuesday aft- ernoon on cleanliness in hotels and tourist camps. In connection with enforcement phases, Gerlach asserted five slot ma- chines were confiscated at Minot and destroyed after $11.66. was removed and credited to the school fund. Regulatory men also will pick up ma:- chines confiscated in several commu: nities by local officers, he said . MES. CHRISTENSON MOVES Augby, N. D., May 5.—Mrs, A, O.

Grosz) Mobridge to Dedicate N ew Auditorium This Week COLOR CHOSEN FOR 1938 CAR LICENSES ATTENDING SCHOOL Production of Tags for Next Year's Vehicles Will Not Begin Until November Black letters on @ yellow background will be the color scheme for North Dakota’s 1938 automobile license plates, it was announced Tuesday by the state highway department. ‘These colors have been selected after tests at the prison license plate plant to determine visability of various com: binations. Those making the decis- ion were Registrar C. E. Van Horne, some of his adies and George Baska, plant superintendent. Sample plates with these colors have been made up and sent to all sur- rounding states and near-by provinces of Canada in order that they may know North Dakota's selection and thus be able to avoid duplication of colors. Production of the plates will not be- gin until next November, Baska said. At that time 20 to 22 men will be set to work and will turn out about 2,800 pairs of plates daily for four months. Under Estimates Needs Normal requirement for this state is about 165,000 pairs but, since instal- lation of the plant at the prison, the habit is for the registrar to under- estimate his needs and, toward the end of the season, plates are made up 9s needed. Any order for less than 50 pair, received at the plant at 10 a. m., usually is on its way by 4 p. m., Baska said, 3 This year the last regular passenger car plates were made Feb. 24, but plates for dealers licenses are being made almost daily as:new orders are received. The new system has provided more economical than the old, Baska said, because there is no necessity to over- order. Before the plant was installed the registrar always ordered a few more than he thought he would need in 1933, it now has a valuation of $31, and some working capital on Baska said. Threat of Strike in Minneapolis Is Ended Minneapolis, May 5.—()—The la- bor dispute in the Minneapolis auto- motive service industry had been set- tled Wednesday after union employes voted to accept a working agreement with employers. The peace plan was the result of conferences called by Edward C. Mc- Donald, federal conciliator, and was approved ty the membership. Machinists will receive a minimum wage of 90 cents an hour, and the classifications and wage scales are all based on a 44 hour week and a 35 hour guarantee.

BLACK ON YELLOW FIRE AND TORNADO IS NOW OPERATING Interest Sufficient for All Ex- penses; Agency Was Start- ed on ‘Shoestring’ fund Wednesday was operating on the interest of its investments after starting on a “shoestring” nearly 18 years ago, according to Insurance Commissioner Oscar E. Erickson, “The fund represents the fulfill- ment of a progressive idea inaugurat- ed by the 1919 legislature,”\he as- Launched with no appropriation for operation, the fund at the begin- ning of this year had liquid assets of $2,070,700 and had granted $364,379 in free subdivisions of the state, the com- missioner declared. Assets Increase . “The fund is now operating on the interest of its investments,” he ex- plained, adding that “assets have in- creased rather than decreased since the free insurance amendment be- came effective.” This amendment, enacted by the 1935 legislature, provided that when the state fire and tornado fund ex- ceeds $1,500,000, the insurance re- tained net by the fund shall be pro- vided without cost to the state, coun- ty, township, village or school district unless losses and expenses reduce the aggregate liquid assets below that mark. From past experience, the interest income from the fund’s investments should more than pay all losses and operating expenses, Erickson ob- served, Continue Campaign “Stringent campaign for elimina- tion of hasardous conditions relative to fire risks as well as a businesslike administration of the fund’s affairs,” he said, “will practically insure a continuation of granting free insur- ance on risks qualified.” Total fire and tornado premiums written in the course of 17% years since the state ventured: into this field of business activity is $3,764,- 790.26. Excess insurance of $830,- 441.06 and free insurance of $364,- 279.40 left net adjusted premiums written at $2,569,969.80.
