NEW PLAN FOR RECEIVERSHIPS SAVES MONEY Twenty-five Per Cent Saving in Salaries Has Already Been Accomplished. Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 10.-Reduction of 25 per cent in the salaries paid receivers of closed banks in North Dakota already has been accomplished through consolidation of receiverships, it is said. With the announcement by the banking board of the appointment of three more receivers for groups of banks, there remains but two or three more groups in the state for which receivers will be named under the consolidated plan. The consolidation has not been carried to its full extent because of the fact that some receivers obtained confirmation of their appointments try courts and have refused to resign. The question of whether the court or state examiner, with approval of the state banking board, shall have power to name receivers will be settled through an appeal of a Dickinson case to the supreme court. W. E. Burgett, of Flaxton, president of the Citizens State bank of that city, has been named receiver for closed banks at Greene, Tolley, Fortuna. Columbus, Loraine and for the Security State of Mohall. G. R. Van Sickle, of Minot. has been appointed receiver for the Williston State bank of Williston. He also is receiver for the First Farmers bank of Minot and the First Security of Carpio. J. W. Lee, of Rhame, has been named receiver for closed banks at Haynes, Marmarth and for the First State bank of Amidon. He has been receiver for the Farmers State of Rhame and continues to act as receiver for that institution.
