i s r WwW f ix i aN eK —— Road Maintenance Costs D. Lowest Since 1926 InN Expenditure This Year Only] $666,114 Compared to $854,008 in 1931 Road maintenance costs in North Dakota are at the lowest level since 1926, according to figures announced. Thursday by A. D. McKinnon, chief highway commissioner. Rigid economy by the state highway department, McKinnon said, has made it possible to maintain 5,516 miles of roads from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31 this year at a cost of $666,114.14, while for the same period last year the total expenditure was $854,008.75. While $187,894.61 less was expended for the first eight months this year than for the same period in 1931, 398 more miles of road are being maintained this year. The average cost per mile for road maintenance this year is $120.76, com- pared to $166.84 for the first eight months of last year. North Dakota’s average expenditure per mile is the third lowest in the nation, according to the survey by the U, 8. bureau of public roads, McKin- non said. Although the department's main- “tenance budget for this year is $190,- 000 Jess than that for 1931, McKinnon said, maintenance expenditure for the first eight months this year were 5.6 per cent below the normal percentage of funds appropriated for the period. ‘The department contemplates that by Sept. 1, approxmiately 62 per cent of its maintenance funds is expended in the normal year. Up to August this year, however, only 56.5 per cent of the total budget allotment for main- taining roads had been spent by the departinent. In the normal year, McKinnon said, 38 per cent of the total maintenance budget is spent in the last four months. The larger expenditure dur- ing this pertod is made necessary by increased maintenance work in the fall and early winter. The department estimates that the average cost per mile for the whole of this year will be $222, compared with $258 in 1931, $277 in 1930, $248 in 1029, $228 in 1928, $265 in 1927 and $194 in 1926. The low cost in 1926, McKinnon said, was due partly to the fact that a large percentage of the road was new and did not require as much maintenance work as now. Of the seven highway districts in the state, the Bismarck district, so far this year, has spent the smallest Percentage of its maintenance allot- ment—45.7 per cent. Percentages spent by the other districts included: Valley City 55.1, Devils Lake 55.0, Mi not 543, Dickinson 60.9, Grand Forks 56.4 and Williston 55.4. The Bismarck district for the first eight months spent $102.62 per mile, the Valley City district $141.98, the Devils Lake district $113.99, the Minot district $120.15, the Dickinson district $124.84, the Grand Forks district $120.17 and the Williston district $108.72. SQ irmrrenteesenseemnsaieneeemninns eoremereninmmeeninntc | Mrs. Hoover Is ‘ | Adept at Sewing | Washington, Sept. 22.—()— Even on a halky sewing machine, Mrs. Hooyer can turn a fine seam for the Red Cross. She visited the workrooms ‘Wednesday where 30 whirring machines, each operated by a vol- unteer woman worker, were turn- ing cloth that-came from federal- ly-owned cotton into pretty print dresses for needy little girls and substantial shirts for needy little boys. The machines were all donated for such use, and some of them were rather ancient. Upon one of these Mrs. Hoover chanced when she sat down to “try her hand” at work. “Does anyone know how to drop the foot of this machine?” she first queried. All the workers tried to help, but none offered the key to the puzzle before she herself had found the gadget that dropped the foot. Then Mrs. Hoover stitched the side-seam of a little pink madras dress that will help some lucky ttle girl to stay in school this winter. Hindenburg Up Early To Seek Mock Attack Frankfurt-on-Oder, Germany, Sept. 22.—(7)—President von Hindenburg was up at dawn Thursday for the fi- nal stages of the Reichswehr maneu- vers. He gave special attention to an in- vading force of the motorized cavalry, which made short work of defending troops armed in accordance with the Versailles treaty. ‘The defense lines, unable to stem the onslauht from the east, were broken in several places, opening a way to Berlin. This mock attack was intended to demonstrate what Ger- many regards as her inadequate de- fenses, especially st invasion from the Polish side.

Thorberg’s Finney’s Sweet Shop Corner Grocery Owens Grocery Coin Harvey Speaks To 600 at Williston Williston, N. D., Sept. 22.—()— Confidence that his party will carry California, Washington, Indiana and three or four other states and thus obtain the balance of power jn the next congress was expressed in an address here by W. H. (Coin) Harvey, an party candidate for presi- lent. The aged economist, speaking he- fore about 600 persons, attacked the country’s financial system as the cause of the depression and of the financial difficulties of farmers and! workers. He termed money “the lifeblood of civilization,” declaring that money must flow freely and unchecked if civilization is to survive. The hindering of the free circula- tion of money by charging interest and by hoarding, he said, contributed to the decay and death of nations in ages past and endangers the exis- tence of the present civilization. Money, Harvey declared, should be issued by the government directly to the people in payment for labor per- formed on public projects, the issue of such money limited only by the needs of labor, which method he claimed would assure jobs to all whenever desired. Government own- ership of all banks was advocated by Harvey.
