In 1921, 246 miles of earth grading was complete, bringing the total to 378 miles, and that year marked the first graveling or equal with 18 miles of gravel surfacing and about two miles paving laid that year. In the next seven years, at the end eevee: * mileage totaled nine miles paving, 2,218 miles vel 1, miles grading. ibaa: The next year saw the first oil mix road in North Dakota, with eight miles of that preparation laid. The four and @ half years from the end of 1928 to date saw the total mile- age of improved roads almost doubled until today the state has approxi- mately 30 miles paving, 364 miles oil- mix surfacing and 4,738 miles gravel- ing and nearly 1,000 miles graveling that has as yet received no surfacing. In the last 15 years the state high- way department completed 11,528 ¢ ‘miles construction work, which in- cludes 6,123 miles of graded road, 5,132 miles graveling or equal, 294 miles oil mix and 30 miles of paving. Not all this mileage is now on the state high- way system as portions have been due to new locations, and gravel construction and various types Ot surfacing work have overlapped, graveling covering some graded sec- tons, oil mix covering some graveling. » Mandan Man Is Held On Liquor Charges Fargo, N.

Tax Commissioner J. J. Weeks says he guesses the figure at from three to six million dollars a year. Without knowing what the total check clearings for the state are, he suggested it should produce an amount equal to two per cent of such check clearings. If the check clearings are taken as a basis, how much money would it produce? Between eight and 12 million dollars a year. Are there any figures available upon which to base this estimate? Yes. The federal reserve bank at Minneapolis, which gets reports from the 12 leading cities in North Dakota, reports check clearings in these cities during 1932 were $434,998,000. Two per cent on these figures would be $8,699,060 these cities alone. Persons whose checks were cleared through What cities were included in this computation by the federal reserve bank?

The permanent code committee, it was recommended, will determine maximum uniform hours of banking for various localities—a clearing house district, or a federal reserve district being used as a basis. All banks in the region must fix a maximum inter- est rate, and uniform service charges, the fee for exchange being left to the individual bank. The right of the employe to organ- and bargain cdllectively was re- served, and forcible membership in company unions forbidden. In gen- provisions eral, the code followed the flict—the bankers mentioned the add- ed burden at harvest season. Night watchmen were exempted.

Mischel admitted the charge that the Merchants State Bank of Rich- ardton, now insolvent, was made a depository for county funds and that he, as a stockholder, while also a member of the county board, had ap- proved the bonding of himself as sur- ety. Admits Buying Caskets He also admitted the sale of mer- chandise, including caskets for the burial of county poor, to the county through his store at Richardton. The first of 11 men and women to testify against the commissioners was Mrs, Mike Scharick, of Richardton. The plaintiff attempted to show that Mischel had refused to give her poor relief when she failed to make her purchases of food at his store in Richardton. Boltz was cross-examined on testi- mony given by Mischel. Boltz denied the charge of having constructed an unnecessary and ex- pensive road for his private benefit, and later permitting its destruction by authorizing certain Belfield people to mine coal under it. He testified the road actually had been improved and the coal mined by unemployed men on the relief list and had saved the county $800. Had Distributed Ballots J. K. Murray, the plaintiff's attor- ney, asked Boltz if he had distributed election ballots and been paid for them, He said he had on instruction of the county auditor, at less expense to the county because the sheriff had been distributing them at a mileage fee of 20 cents per mile. Questioned concerning charges made by the commissioners for ex- penses while attending conventions and conferences with the state high- way department at Bismarck, Boltz Soid the board had allowed itself “about railroad fare.” Murray also attempted to show that the commissioners had allowed them- selves bills for investigation of poor relief while employing @ social serv- ice worker who was paid for this pur- Pose, Kenmare Expects to Have ‘Fair’ Eleven Kenmare, N.
