Since 1918 up to 1924, both inclusive, Burleigh county and the townships which constitute it, have levied taxes for road purposes the amount of which is $810,857.00 and almost all of which was expend 4 * ed in the improvement of other roads than the State Highway System in the y. Only the q Highway leading to the Missour r has been improved, though about five miles east of the City of Bismarck on the Red Trail:is under construction and 1 miles from Steriing south to the county ‘line will be graded this year. With the improve ment of the main traffic arteries to Bismarck on the east and southeast under way we suould not " ove ok the fact that Bismarck, which ought to be a trading center for many miles around, re coives much business from the agricultural dis- icts tributary to State Highway No. 6 which runs between our city and Minot. As soon as it is feas ibie this system should also be improved, becaus: its cost will be more than offset py the trading which will come to our city and our county. It has been repeatedly brought to the attention of the public that the State Highway Comn ion hus now hefore it more requests for highway im- provement ian it has federal aid’ available for that purpose in 1926, and that perhaps some of the work may have to be postponed until the follow- ing year.

The cost of the great waterway from the Great ‘5 to the Atlantic seaboard is not prohibitive. gineers estimate it at a quarter of a billion dol- iat which is only sixty per cent of the cost of the Panama Canal.

This right of sonable access ea has usually been recognized by civilized sought to th states. free access to the ocean by way of the St. Lawren made in 1871 between Great Britain and the United States. The treaty provides in substance that the naviga- tion of the St. Lawrence ascending and descending from the forty-fifth paralldl/of north latitude shall forever remain free and open for the putpose of ‘commerce’ to the citizens of the United States, sub- ject to any laws of Great Britain and Canada not inconsistent with such privilege of navigation, This treaty does not deal with that important part of the river south of the forty-fifth parallel, but that section was opened in the same way ‘by the » Webster-Ashburton, treaty of 1§42. Other iprovi- sions may ‘be found lcoking in the same direction. The treaty of Washington made the river open to Americans from the sea to a point weil beyond the city of Montreal. In return for this concession, which affer all was merely the acknowledgment of a privilege which comity usually yields and which was really in practice already, the United States agreed that the great Alaskan rivers should be free to British ships. It may be said ‘that this concession to American regretted that the county board’ de-|8e2- going trade in the St. Lawrence was a grant of the use of tie waters as nature left them, and it a right to expensive improve- ), ments, making the way more available for all sorts ;(Of ships of trade from the ocean to the interior. ,| There some technical basis for this objection, y but it may be questioned reasonably whether it is good in morals or in international law, = At any Upited States and the Do ¢ minion of Canada. will be able to arrange the de- tails of a convention providing for the necessary deepening of the river channels so that the spirit of the earlier treaties shall be fully preserved.
