| ? 2 CONTRACTS ARE LET Graveling, Grading and Re- Graveling Projects In- cluded in Awards Contracts for $392,845.92 of highway construction were let Friday by the state highway commission. Projects include 237.407 miles grav-1 eling, 94.244 miles re-graveling, and 15.898 miles grading. = Rue Brothers, Bismarck, are award- ed a contract for 8,696 guard posts, 133.577 lineal feet guard rail, and 1,144 anchors, the material to be used throughout the state on highway Projects. The bid was $37,717.13. A. D. McKinnon, chief highway commissioner, said the graveling work was let at the lowest price in the history of the commission. Prices, he said, are at least 30 per cent less than paid a year ago. The letting was made possible, McKinnon stated. because of a reduction of $150,000 in the cost of maintenance and the transferring of that amount to the construction fund. The projects will be spread in 23 counties. The work will get under way when the 1932 construction season opens, ‘McKinnon said, but were let now be- cause of the low prices contractors are bidding on gravel surfacing. “Among the contracts let are: Grading Dunn county—7.812 miles on 8.

Ayres’ work is exceptional in this Picture, and in the role of States Lilly he delivers a striking character- ization bewildered by his buffeting at the hands of fate. Anita Louise is capable and altogether lovely in’ the leading feminine role, and other members of an unusually large cast who do pleasing work are Harry Beresford, Elizabeth Patterson and Charley Grapewin. Scenically “Heaven on Earth” takes high honors, with many beautiful views on the river, the steamboat ploughing majestically through the water, the motley collection of rude “shanty- boats” near the shore and the flogd which climaxes the picture.

Dayer, according to Miss Bertha R. Palmer, superintendent of public in- | struction. “It is obvious that the method of setting up units is expensive and in- efficient,” Miss Palmer said. “At the present time there are over 3,000 school districts in North Dakota and: each contains several schools. As 4 result more than half the schools in on shipments up to approximately 300|-the state contain but one room with an average of only 14 1-2 pupils at- tending.” Establishment of centralized schools tions are centered would serve not only to eliminate administrative cosis but would make for efficiency in operation, Miss Palmer believes. “Tae centralized school would obviate many of the evils attendant on the small. school where one instructor teaches all seven primary grades, oy making possible the employment of several teachers in each . school. Each instructor then could be assign- ed _to children in certain grades.” Redistricting on the basis of popu- lation is the only means by which people of the state can solve a prob- lem that has faced North Dakota for a number of years, Miss Palmer “Programs along these lines are be- ing worked out with notable success HEADACHE?
