One way out, he suggested, would be to cut about 2,000 miles off of the 7,500-mile program. North Dakota was trying to do more than Minne- sota despite Minnesota’s $17,000,000 udget. Faces $3,000,000 Deficit The senator said the department hardly would have more than $606,- 000 available this year for construc- tion and that, with federal aid matching this, it would be able to build about 200 miles of road. When the final 500 miles of the program are completed, the department will be in the hole $3,000,000, he said. The department as conducted, the senator asserted, is a buck-passing organization. Callers are sent from one functionary to another when they have business with the com- mission. Eighty per cent of the time of the commissioners is taken with delegations and callers, giving them that much less time to keep in touch with their department business. Staff men sit about with feet on desks, waiting for orders from su- periors, the office girls are busy talking over the night before, while it takes two boys to deliver a letter. Some of this sort of administration has cost $21,873, while, in his opin- fon, a $2,700 clerk could have ren- dered the same service. Commissioner Moe said he was op- josed to the bill because North Da- ota had no Babcock (one-man com- mission in Minnesota) and he didn’t think the state could get a high- grade executive commissioner for the salary of $5,000 named in the bill. A man might be developed in two years and then it might be wise to consider such a bill. Says $75,000 Too Small Myhre said that the $75, propriation provided for administra- tion of the department would not be sufficient. The department has been using $177,750. He reduced this to percentages by itemizing the uses for administration, construction, maintenance and other purposes, none of the percentages running above 2.6 per cent. This was low overhead, he held. As to the report that the depart- ment was using 300 cars, he said that was an exaggeration. The de- partment has 70 car licenses only. jome of the staff men use their own cars and charge 10 cents a mile trav- el expense. Whether this was cheap- er or higier than using department cars with no mileage charge he could not. tell. As ene means to economy, the en- gineer favored combining the posts of chief engineer and secretary. O'Neil took up the charge of ex- cessive costs per mile movin, dirt. He said if this were calculat on a yardage basis, the average cost. would be found to be 29.6 cents, while in Minnesota it was 34 cents. He could not give the comparison with South Dakota, where Senator Bonzer said the terrain was similar to this state and where moving dirt was done at about four cents a yard lower than here. Says Department Efficient 8. R, Sharts gave a general ap- proval to the North Dakota commis- sion, saying it was as efficient those in the other states of the the district in mileage of highways brought to higher le, he said. It is ‘thé ‘third ‘state in highway effi- ciency, he add hile thirtieth in resources for Shey putting and nce. Moe attacked figures from the re- port of J. J.

D., March 1.—An- nouncement of acts which will take part in the annual Flickertail Fol- lies, all campus vaudeville show at the University of North Dakota, will be made this coming week-end, an- nounces Victor Rose, production man- ager. Tryouts in which 23 acts were entered took place the fore part of the week and from these 12 will be chosen for the final presentation the latter part of April in the Metro- politan theatre. here. Acts will run from 10 to 12-minutes each and will be of. a wide variety, said Rose, so that everyone's tastes may be satisfied. * the A 15 to 20 piece orchestra has been engaged to furnish music for the show, and efforts are being made to secure a number of interlude acts. These will run from one to three minutes so that a continuous show may be had.
