Bids for the machinery were taken a month ago but no contracts were awarded because of the absence of Commissioner J. A. Dinnie, Grand Forks. It is expected that quick delivery of the machinery will be asked in order that it may be used on the roads this spring.

C. Frahm in e circular letter sent out from highway department headquarters here, Provision has been made, Frahm explained, for notifying such persons when load restrictions are placed on any road and he expresses the belief that such users of the highways will be benefited by having forestalled trips which might end in difficulty. While such users might continue to use roads for a day or two after load restrictions are ordered effective, the probabilities are that observance of the rules will enable the department to open the roads to vehicles of all weights a week or two earlier than will be the case if heavy vehicles use them until they are impassable. By barring heavy strucks, Frahm said, the department hopes to keep roads passable for passenger automo- cent of the traffic. He indicated that such restrictions may be expected on graveled as well as ungraveled roads, asserting that, while graded roads are the first to break down, a gravel road is more expensive to repair after it has been cut through, because of the loss of surfacing material pounded in- to the subgrade.
