Penitentiary Inmates to Make Auto Tags in North Dakota
Secretary of State Thomas Hall studies the cost of metal stamping for automobile tags at the state penitentiary. A report to the board of control will decide if production moves forward. Estimates show prison-made tags at nine cents per set, a potential saving of over 60 percent and funds could support highway improvements. The plan could later expand to road signs for the highway commission. Also note: Green Township Baptist ladies hold annual bazaar at Gust Mikkelson farm on Aug 4.
