SSieUmnites ese = EUR a 4.429 FOR NORTH DAKOTA ROADS IN 1918 More Than Thre2-Qparters of a Million Available for High- way Improvement PROJECTS WILL BE PUT IN SHAPE DURING WINTER Highway Commission New in Ses- sion Here Hopes to Complete Prelim‘naries | Requests for federal aid projects ag: gregating $259,000 are being consid- ered at a mecling of the state high- way commission which opened at the capitol to These are requests which conform to federal require- ments as to post roads, with séme slight adjustments, and on which the! state highway commission antici- pates contracts for practically all ths work petitioned for may be let this fall or early this winter. Funds availavle for federal aid work are $76,143 of the 1916 appro- priation, which has not i.ce2 toucned, $152,286 which became available July J,/and $228,129 which will become j available July 1, 1918. For state aid work there now is on hand $88,000, and it is anticipated that $250,000 more will be available by July 1, 1918, making a total of $791,429 which will be available for the improvement of N Dakota highways during the ing 18 months. The highway commission hopes during the coming winter to procure from the countics requests which will consume the en- tire amount available for work in the summer and fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919. Until the spring of 1918 it is not probable, owing to un- avoidable delays, that much state or federal aid work will be done on North Dakota highways. To Change Locations. One of the important matters to be taken up by the state highway com- mission at its present meeting is tne changing of locations of roads in sev- taken in the ferred to Siberia.
