Fire Departments Given State Money Checks amounting to more than $26,500 were being mailed to 266 com- munity fire departments for annual payment on fire insurance premiums, pute Auditor Berta Baker said Mon- y. 5 3 The payments, which amount to 2 per cent on fire insurance premiums written in respective North Dakota communities, are used for support of local fire departments, she said. Monies are paid from the state gen- eral fund from appropriations by the state legislature. This fund is reim- bursed by a state tax on fire insur- ‘ance companies. Largest and smallest payments made went into Cass county.’ Fargo headed the list with $3,968.91 while Amenia received 64 cents. ‘The annual payment for this period is about $3,000 less than last year. She attributed the drop to “economic distress” and the fact that citizens are not insuring as much as formerly.

The rival union official said he would confer in 10 days with William Green, A.

Aside from the attractiveness and desira- bility of their foliage or flowers, vines can be used to distinct advantage for many purposes, their habit of growth making them available for situations in ornamental planting where neither trees nor shrubs can be effectively substituted.

Baker, Possessor of Huge Fortune, Succumbs After Operation Honolulu, May 31—(#)—The body of George Fisher Baker, leader of American finance, lay on the yacht Viking Monday, his death marked by the drama he shunned during life. The 59-year-old banker, titular head of the’ First National Bank of New York, died Sunday morning from complications of peritonitis. He was stricken while on his first vaca- tion since his marriage 30 years ago. Mrs. Baker, present when he died, will take the body to San Francisco on the Matson liner Lurline, which sails Saturday. From there it will be taken to New York in a private rail- Toad car. An emergency appendectomy, per- formed at sea last Tuesday by his personal physician and one hailed from a passing ship; a speedy 300- mile ‘trip to reach this port, and a 5,500-mile airline dash by Mrs. Baker to reach her husband’s side were some of the details which lifted the bankers death out of the obscurity’ he would have desired. Baker's fortune had been estimated at from $150,000,000 to half a billion. In 1931 his father, George F. Baker, Sr., died and left his son at the head of the financial institution. In addition to the widow and daughters, Florence T., and Edith B., he is survived by two sons, George F., and Grenville K, Baker.
