Fargo Paint Law Friction Delays Hopes for Revision
Fargo officials refuse to delay enforcement of the pure paint law amid requests from paint industry leaders to postpone until next legislature. J E W Heath and two attorneys discussed the matter with commissioners as fear of publicity drives calls for delay or a test case. Meanwhile a late October fire in LaMoure destroyed the Edwards-Wood grain plant, totaling losses for the grain company and extensive damage to adjacent structures. Grand Forks reports show 399 births and 128 deaths for October with several TB and infectious cases. Other notes mention local animal injuries from nails, a Buffalo barn fire, Red River navigability bill, and Cavalier county land sales at auction December 1.
