MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1917, BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Work for “The Fifteenth legislative assembly, just closed, enacted: a considerable.” amount of constructive legislation in regard to highways, irrigation. and drainage. Most of these laws add to the duties of the state engineer's of- "says State Engineer Jay W. “First in importance is. House Bill No, 168, which became a law with the governor's signature. This law cre-; ates a state highway commission and provides, for co-operation on the part of the state with the various counties and with the federal government. “The state engineer is designated as the secretary of the highway com- mission and is made its chief engi- neer. It is expected that so far'as is practicable the office appliances and equipment, engineering and cleri- cal help of the state engineer's office will be used by the- state , highway commission, such additional help’ as: may be required to ‘be employed by the state highway commission, To Organize Soon. “As soon as possible the state high- way commission will meet for the purpose of organizing and preparing its program for the summer’s work. The commission has many problems to solve and serious difficulties to overcome, and it will require full co- operation between the various coun- ties, the state highway commission and the federal gavernment in order that the actual construction of high- ways may be begun this summer. “The state highway bill leaves the initiative in road matters largely to the courty commissioners, It is the duty of the county commissioners and the highway commission together to designate the roads that shall receive , state and federal aid. - When these Wave been determined upon it, re- mains for the county comn ioners to petition the state highway commis-! sion for state and federal aid...,'The | state in turn petitions the United| States department. of agriculture ‘or, federal aid, accompanying: the request | with the necessary information and data concerning the proposed improve-; ments, If the project is approved by: the federal department, the state high-, way department will secure detailed surveys of the roads to be improved, and will let the contracts for the: work, H “It is provided that the state high-; way commission is to have direct | charge of all co-operative road work; and is also to have charge of. the! maintenance of the roads that have been built. The entire resources of the state highway commission are de- Ce ¢, o, SIOOGSHOHTOO OD GEPEEEE ESS % OLD-TIME COLD CURE— % DRINK HOT TEA! call it, “Hamburger Brust Thee,” ati any pharmacy, Take a tablespoonful | of the tea, put a cup of boiling water | upon ‘it, pour,through a sieve and drink a-teacupful at any time during | the day or before retiring. ft is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, a8 it. opens the pores of the. skin, relieving congestion.

Highway, Irrigation - Drainage Bills Mean More prPese and State Engineer rived ‘from the motor vehicle license fees and it is required that the secre- tary of state shall return to the coun- ties, for the purpose: of a road main- tenance fund, one-third of all net fees received from any county. Two-thirds of the net fees are deposited with the state treasurer to the credit of the state highway fund. Out of the fund thus created the state highway, com- mission must first deduct its expenses, and. of. the balance 90 per cent, shall be expended in the county from which it came, provided that the county ap- propriates an equal amount of money, The ten per cent of this balance ma: be expended by the state high commission at its own discretion with- out regard to its sources. Now Collecting Data. “The state engineer, as secretary of | the state highway commission, is at the present time collecting all the! preliminary: data that is available, most of which-is required by the fed- eral department, and all of which is necessary for the use of the state! highway commission. | “As the state engineer has indicat- ed on a number of occasions, the en- tire success of the work contemplat- ed under the highway bill depends upon the co-operation of the coun- ties and the state in their dealings with the federal government, It has been urged that the counties would be seriously crippled by reason of the loss of the net automobile fees, which have heretofore been almost wholly expended in the maintenance of roads. It is pointed out, however, that sec- tion 1946 of the compiled laws of 1913 is amended in House Bill No. 168 so as to specially provide that such funds may be expended for the drag: ging of roads, so the counties are not left in a position where they are -un- able to maintain roads that they have previously built. Difficulties Appreciated. “The difficulties of its task are ful- ly appreciated by the state. highway) commission and it will make every | possible effort to impress upon each county the importance of its doing its full part. By working together they can secure excellent results and | enjoy the benefits of federal aid. Working at cross purposes will defeat the entire purpose of the highway bill and lose io the state the advan- tages of federal aid. “House Bill No, 176 increases the amount of the license fee for motor) vehicles and provides that such fee shall be in lieu of all other taxes. The increased fee does not go into effect until January 1, 1918. “The purpose of this ‘bill is to place increased funds at the disposal | of the state highway commission in order to meet with the annually in- creasing amount of federal aid.~ It is expected that this increase will en- mmission to sfully meet federal aid. tor the two year period, “afd possivly Tong” er, without any considerable direct appropriation from the state. “At least three other states have license laws similar to the one adopt- ed by this state. ? Provides for Maintenance. +House Bill No. 203 provides for the maintenance of built roads by the various townships. It provides that in townships where there are graded roads a tax shall be levied which shall net the township $5.00 per mile for each mile of improved road, for the express purpose of dragging the roads. This law beneficial results. should be immed- jate, the preper dragging of earth roads being fully as important as building them in the first place. : Irrigation, “House Bil No. 175 provides for the formation of irrigation districts and is of particular interest to the people living under the. government irriga- tion projects in McKenzie and Wil- liams, counties, although the bill is general and would apply to any. irri-} gation projects that might be started. All of the western:states have similar | irrigation district laws, North Dakota ‘being at last state in which irriga- tion-work is done to adopt such legis- laton. “This bill provides the machinery) whereby associations wishing to form irrigation districts can do so and se- cure federal aid in the undertaking. “Little interest has been taken in irrigation the last few years, owing to. better farming. methods and the in- creased rainfall in the: western por-) tion of the state. . With the recur- rence of dry years interest will pick up again, and this new law is sure to ‘be much appreciated: This bill adds Kindly give Retail ‘Two Deliveries Daily bas just been completed and will be ready to serve the pub. tic Saturday morning, March 10th, 1917 with all kinds oe Bread, Cake, Pies and Pastry.

Drainage. “House Bill No, 157 provides for additional powers and duties to drain- ge districts and drainage boards of this state, and is designed to enable drainage districts in this state to co- operate with any drainage districts of other states in the contro] of floods on rivers which are state boundar- ies.
