THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1933 HIGHWAY LETTING |Kennedy Sees Success in SET FOR NOVEMBER; ‘North Dakota Irrigation 88 MILES ON FILE Little Money Allotted for Feeder Roads and Municipalities Spent ‘The fourth of a series of lettings at which contracts for road construction work in North Dakota under the na- tional recovery highway program are awarded will be held here November 10, Highway Commissioner Frank ‘Vogel announced Friday. Already awarded are contracts for 600 miles of road construction and structural work on bids totaling ap- proximately $1,500,000, or half of the nearly $3,000,000 set aside for the federal aid highway system outside of municipalities, This work comprise 850 per cent of This work comprises 50 per cent of Dakota under the NRA program with the remaining $3,000,000 to be equally divided between proposed feeder roads and roads for municipal- ities. The “feeder and municipalities” work is still being mapped out. Mileage of projects to be let on con- tract in November totals 88.159 miles including 38.304 miles of gravel sur- facing, 778 miles of oil mix and paving; and 38.077 miles of grading and structural work. The work is set for completion in July, August, and September of 1934. Next Letting in December A fifth letting is tentatively ar- ranged for December 16.

C. The estimated employment on this work in North Dakota is 5,135, only 77 men less than Iowa, which ranks tenth. Other states having more employed on this work are California, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and ‘Wisconsin. Of eighty-nine projects approved in North Dakota, 42 already have been awarded, placing this state 17th in the number of projects awarded. Report Lefty Grove Sold to Boston Club Oct.

Whether or not. ‘subsequent events tend to affirm the wisdom of abandoning that project is still an open question in the minds of Many observers. One division of a federal project in Wyoming later re- hata its attitude toward abandon- ment. In any event it is at least absurd to assume that the particular combin- ation of difficulties which arose on the Williston project always will re- cur in North Dakota.

That project Still is operating though at about half of its designed capacity and with much adjustment and postponement of assessments. It has been pointed out that private irrigation projects have made no ex- tensive success in North Dakota. That i strue, There are not many gravity projects in the state. Most of them require pumping. Frequently the owner waited too long for rain before he rigged upon his pumping equip- ment. It also is expensive. Federal irrigation has gone thorugh many trial and error adjustments in the 30 or so years of its existence. But rather than being considered a failure it should be credited with pio- neering into the field of large scale community development. The Belle Fourche Project The Belle Fourche project, for ih- stance, has created an oasis of green fields and attractive homes and pub- lic buildis in a region formerly | ruled by the occasional cowboy and the coyote. It not only brought into the region large wealth but it has created large wealth from the soil of the project by the efforts of. its settlers. It has spread an actual and tangible but non-assessable benefit over a large adjacent area in of three states. Its ramifications per- meate the economic fabric of the na- tion. Yet, it was assumed in the be- ginning that the individual settler would foot the entire bill. He tried to, but at what a.price! Assessments were set. originally at $3.00 an acre per year over a 40-year Period. But the vicissitudes of the markets, the weather, and farm pests early demonstrated the impossibility of taking such a large toll of the farmer’s average income. The first wave of immigration was composed largely of the white-collared profes- sions seduced by commercial exploita- tional expense was incurred to drain the project. And then came the de- ipression! But that was one catab- trophe for which the local project had only an infinitesimal responsibility. The net result has been a water assessment of $2.15 an acre for 1934. Some assessments have been postpon- ed to the 60th, year.
