FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1922 ” OVERHEAD ON: ~~ STATE ROADS This is Cost of Administration, According-to Engineer’s Figures ‘ATE SYSTEM ee Says $14,000,000 Has Been - Wasted in State in Faulty ; Construction CITES Jamestown, N. D., Jan. 26.— Both criticism.and defense of the North Da- kota Highway commission was. con- tained in the paper of J. E. Kaulfass, assistant State Engineer of Bismarck, in his-address before the meeting of the’ County Commissoners here. In the course of hfs address, he went in- to the work of the Highway Depart- ment since its organization and also discussed the present state road con- ditions, In explaining some of the troubles of the department, Mr. Kaulfass stat- ed tht the North Dakota Highway Department and the World War start- ed almost at the same time, the De- partment.being organized in March, 1917, while the call to arms came early in April. The changing personnel of the department during the draft per- iod and the low scale of salaries ord- MRS. MINA RABER, Aurora, Ill, “A short time ago I was one of the most nervous and miserable persons on the earth, but. thanks to Tanlac I’m Well and happy now,” said Mrs. Mina Raber, 446 Farnsworth Ave., Aurora, Il. J “It was just about two years ago that I began to be distfessed after every meal. I had awful smothering ered by 4he North Dakota act in com- parison dua competition.with war time salaries, entailed slow progress in the beginning years. The department was compelled to start at the beginning because of the different character of the North Da- kota roads and make standard specifi- cations. - It was also compelled to start at-the beginning and train con- tractcfs in the work' necessary to meet : government specifications. ‘The first years iso were years of trial in bringing/ together the-representatives of the county and the representatives of the government in Federal Aid projects. Federal Ald Cash Getting down to actual facts, Mr. Kaultass pcinted out that the Federal Aid projects had already brought $2,- 000,000 in cash into the state and that the gepartment had been the recip- ient of $1,500,000 of trucks from the government with which to do road work, while the work which has been: accomplished under the State High- way Department had cost the state , and. government combined about $6,- 000,000. This includes the moneys spent on the Missouri river bridge be- tweet Bismarck and Mandan, \ “As to the type of construction,” said Mr. Kaulfass in continuing the discussion of road costs, ‘please note that/we started out. in 1918 with the idea of building state roads that would not average over $1,000 per mile, complete with culverts, bridges guar‘ rail, rip-rap, etc. That average cost, partly because neither we not the county commissioners themselves wer? satisfied with the roads they were getting, partly through ‘the uni- versal increase in prices and partly— some say largely to the regulations and the unwritten engineering require- ments of the federal government, in- crea3zd to over $5,500 per mile in 1920 or over $3,750 per mile to date. The State Highway Department has been ina difficult position in the matter, being hetween the_federal govern- meni ¢n*the one hand and the coun- ties on the other. In a large measure, the department has been helpless as it is imperative that plans, etc., must be approved by the federal govern- ment in order to secure federal aid. Had the counties dealt directly with the federal government, they would “have fared no better.” “In actual cost,”‘continued Mr. Kaul- fass in discussing, administration, “our administration, etc., averages $500 « mile; more or less. his fig- ure, compared with i cent of mile makes our n ingly good one and California was a going conéern ‘when .the Federal Aid act was passed and the war broke, out. “Our surveys are madé for ‘about $45.00 per mile and-.our plans for about $55.00 more—a total of about: $110 per mile at the time of receiving bids. Missouri contracted much. of its surveys alone one year ‘for $100 per mil€?’ Mr. Kulfass then «went on to point out ihat under a survey being made at the present time, it seemed prob- able that the highways of the state would measure ‘between: 90,000 .and 100,000 miles while the amount of roads under the state highway system Was between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. Considers State. System “Return to the present state high- way system for a moment,” he con- tinued. It comprises 5,000 miles. These are the main roads of the state. The system goes into every county and every county seat. It passes through 88 pev cent of the incorperated cities and 61 per cent of the incorporated villages which possess 83% of the Urbac population. This 5,00 miles is so located that 49 per cent of the to- tal population lives within three miles, 6S per cent withim six miles and 85 per cent within twelve mles. It is therefore evident that the state high- way system furnishes service to and is used by a large majority of our in- habitants. “Tae 1920 road and bridge levy for the siate was $5,918,392 (nearly $6;- 000,900) or $9:15 per capita. In 1919 it was $5,357,031,” continued Mr. Kaul- fass ‘o presenting the actual figures of roac work in the state. “It appears therefore we may expect tobe expend- ing. nearly $6,000,000 annually for roads nd bridges not on the state highway system. While the sum may appear large, attention is called to the fact that though the’ state has about 1-25 of the total highway mile- age in the U, S., it expends only about 1-100 per cent of the total for high- way improvement. ‘ Says $14,000,000 Wasted Atte. showing that North Dakota has prebably spent $35,000,000 in road Projects during the last ten years, and computing that $14,000.000 of this amonut has been wasted, Mr. Kaui- spells at times and, my heart: heat, so irnegularly that 1, often thought I wouldn't live. through the attack. Headaches were the bane of my ex- istence and I shudder even now when I think of them. .My_ back hurt, me, too, and it was just agony for me to bend: over and.straighten up again. “Taniac has done for me far more an I ever expected and I’m like 4 different person altogether. In fact, I’m in perfect health pow. In my opinion, Tanlac is the best medicine under the sun.” “Tanlac is sold in. Bismarck by Jo- seph Breslow and by leading drug- gists evéry where.” ‘ x (Advertisement.) Sooo fass went on to say: “And what else Gan one expect? The fault ic not with the County Commis- sioners or the township officials. These are all honest. They are doing the best they know how. In fact.they are to be complimented that they have done ag well. ag they have. - And: it must be remembered that much of the: money ‘has been expended*on the worst and therefore the most costly pieces of road. “Tie officials are not to’ blame. The system—and the system alone under which they operate—is. at fault. In the past ten years’ there have been 500 boards of county commissioners an@ 17,000 boards of township super- visors. To-be sure officers on these boards have held over, but the boards are nevertheless quite separate and are certainly not bound by the rules or policies of the board the year prev- ious. This makes a total of 17,500 different units that expend the $35,- 000,000. in the last ten years—or about $2,000 each for the ten years or about $200 ‘per year for each board. Is it any. wonder that no great accomplish- pment hag been made?” FARGO HIGH 10 PLAY BISHARCK HERE TONIGHT Two Fast High School Basket- ball Teams to Mix on ; Local Floor: Fargo high school's fast ‘basket ball team comes to Bismarck tonight to meet the Bismarck high school team.

Of the two doors to the rear, one was sealed and one \padlocked.. One window was beaver 4, boanded and on one there was a storm | window. This testimony was brought out by the state to show that it was practi- - cally impossible for one to make an “4 exit to the rear of the building. ‘At this time the state introduced in evidence the. hotel register for the night of June 12. The witness iden- tified the sheet as register sheet for June 12, 13, 14 and 15. The defense objected. to the introduction of the register of June 12. The objection was overruled. On: cross-examination it was brought out that, there was a door to the southeast and that this door was bolted; that the screen on the door was locked with a skeléton key. That, room 40 was made up. before inspected by Lawrence and officers, and that the hose k was south and east of a water tank. The tank held about 30 gallons and was filled twice a day; ice everyday except Sunday. The tank was gna desk or table about’ 24 incheg square and the tank about 20 inches in diameter. The hall light was usually turned off atter No. 4 got in or about 12 midnight. Lawrence testified that he went to bed between 11:40 and 12; that the j maid had pass keys to rooms; that pass keys were, kept on safety pins that the maids pinne to their aprons. These pass keys were kept hanging behind the office desk. It was brought out at this time by the state through testimony of Lawrence that to get out the rear door mentioned a person would have to pass through his motn- er’s apartments. 2 Suet STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, County of Burleigh. {N DISTRICT COURT, Fourth Judicial 1 Emerson Alfred 3 Sarah.
