Chairman Smoot Although the involving the validity of the contract held by the Haggart Construetion company for the paving of the Red trail from Bis- marck east to the state penitentia is ready for trial no date has yet been set, John Thorpe, assistant at- torney general who will represent the state, said here today The state recently filed an, amend- ed compl i brought marck taxpayer, as trick Sullivan, Bis- to enjoin the Hag- gart compan from. continuing the work which it had started follow- ing the signing of the contract by Ww. G, Black, former chief highway engineer, and members of the Bur- leigh county commission. Answer Is Completed Recently attorneys for the gart company completed work on their answer to the nended com- plaint, thus completing the formal pleadings in the case,,it was said here today. None of the documents in the case have as yet ‘been filed in the district court here, the cpurt clerk said. Hag- nended complaint the state commission contends that no petition for improving the road has ever been filed by the Burleigh county commissioners except one filed in Fgbruary, 1924, which ask- be ed that the r graded and graveled. The commission contends that the Haggart contract is illegal because the recorded steps ‘leading up to the improvement were not in accordance with law. It also is con- tended that no survey of the route nor plans or specifications have ever been made by the highway commis- sion or any engineer representing the state; that no agreement has ybeen made with the federal govern- ment whereby federal aid funds are assured und that the state has never obtained proper right of way for the road and that the work could not be completed for that reason. It is ex- plained that part of the proposed route lies through land surrounding the state penitentiary and that only the legislature has authority to grant such right of way. Insufficient Funds It also is contended that this fuil- ure to obtain a right of way bars the federal government from contri- bution to the cost of the work. and that the state has insufficient money to carry out the terms of the contract. Another contention is that the records of the highway commis- sion do not show that any contract has ever been entered into. | Fire That Took | of the senate finance committee p dicts early action when it reache that body and leaders hope to have, the measure enacted into law March 1, 15 days before the first in-| come, tax payments of the new year!
