Legal dispute over railroad board meeting validity in 1920
The case holds that a majority of North Dakota railroad commissioners must be present at a duly called meeting for official action. Dissent argues notice failed and the August 16 1920 hearing did not meet proper procedure, so the September 3 order signed by two members with a dissenting third did not become a valid board order.

Fower Company Surcharges Are Not Legal Court Decided Today
A North Dakota court rules that an order by the Board of Railroad Commissioners in 1920 increasing rates for Red River Power Co was not properly adopted. The secretary testified the order was signed without formal board action, rendering it void. The ruling emphasizes that official acts require discussion and formal approval at a board meeting.

Order voided by court over 1926 surcharge case
Case notes that a September 1926 order was void and of no force due to lack of a proper meeting and vote. The signing was ministerial, not by members, and the injunction to restrain collection of the surcharge was denied. December 23, 1920, date appears in the context of the ruling. Temperature readings awkwardly appended.
