O. Sathre ruled Saturday the North Dakota water conservation commission can not simply purchase iand for purpose cf] RA. Kk resale, Answering C. F Kelsch, water com- mission attorney, Sathre said there is no question under the 1937 act that the commission after a project bus been legally established may purchase lands which are deemed necessary for construction or operations of the works.” The commission can not sell bonds to make loans to farmers or others or to purchase land for any purpose other than construction and main- tenance of irrigation orojects, he de- clared, adding purchase of iand sim- ply for resale was illegal. “To hold otherwise would mean the commission might go into the real estate business,” Sathre said. “T am convinced bonds authorized to be sold by your commission can legaliy be sold only for actual construction and sreratien of the irrigation project it- self.” The bonds according to the act as passed are obligations only on a par- ticular district. For bonds to be valid, a district must first be formed and a particular bond issue must be based on a particular district, he said.
