Emmons County Finances in Serious Muddle
Emmons County faces a financial crisis as Bank of North Dakota funds can’t cover county expenses. Treasurer Atha reports many small checks are rejected, including $33 for envelopes and a $40 to $50 hospital advance. The Bank’s handling, state funds practices, and potential broader bank failures threaten tax collection and county operations.

Real Estate Loans Plan Outlined by Fargo Bankers
A Fargo meeting of a bankers special committee completed plans to form a Bankers Finance Corporation with one million dollars in capital. The charter ceremony is set for January 5 in Fargo with a diverse board of directors from North Dakota towns including E. J. Weiser and J. J. Earley. The firm aims to market North Dakota real estate mortgages and state warrants, while the Industrial Commission considers delaying Grand Forks mill and elevator work due to funding gaps unless bonds are sold. The state Supreme Court weighs a request to release records from the state auditing board related to flour sales and Consumers United Stores transactions at Drake mill.
