THE: OFFERS ANSWER 10. FEDERAL CRITICISM Denies Charge That State Is - Lagging Behind in Con- struction Progress North Dakota has a larger mileage | of roads approved for construction than any other state in the Union with the exception of Texas, State Highway Commissioner Frank Vogel} said Monday in commenting on an| ‘announcement from the Bureau of| Public Roads at Washington stating | that the state is lagging behind the average of the rest of the states in highway construction progress. The report said only 54 per cent of North Dakota's $5,804,448 apportion- ment had been put to work on March 3, while 75.3 per cent of the $400,000,- 000 had been allotted to work in pro- gress throughout the nation. Vogel, pointing to an article in “Public Roads,” a magazine published by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, called attention to figures showing the | status of North Dakota's mileage. “Our work is mostly grading and graveling or low-cost bituminous work that does not run into dollars like the high-type pavement does, yet there are more plans and often more time Spent on construction on a mile of grading than on a mile of concrete Pavement,” Vogel said. Requires More Time North Dakota’s work requires more men and more time to get out the same amount of work of the low cost type than it does of paving, Vogel aid. “Our three programs, NRH, or state highways; NRS, or feeder r + and NRM or municipal program,” Vogel said, “include 1.036 miles of gravel surfacing, 874 miles of earth grading, 136 miles of oil mix and 20 miles of pavement, a total of 2,066 miles of improvements. Two hundred miles of concrete pavement would have cost North Da- kota the same amount of money, Vogel estimated. “Had we gotten out 200 miles of | Paving plans and let it to contract we | could have 100 per cent of our allot-j ment under contract,” he added, “but | that is not what we need. We are Planning our expenditures to benefit all counties in the state and putting money into the types of improvement Most needed. “By the time our construction sea- Son opens we will have under contract, # great many more projects. We covid | make a better showing as to contracts Jet, but contracts let do not put men to work. We must wait for weather | suitable for the work. We know our construction possibilities and are pre- paring our work accordingly, and we are not worried about what they are Going down south or anywhere else.” Hold Big Automobile Meeting at Bismarck One hundred dealers and salesmen from southwestern North Dakota are attending a district Chevrolet meet- ing at the World War Memorial build- ‘ng Monday.

Jackson first New York, March 19.—(7)}—An aerial hunt for dinosaurs that roamed the Big Horn Badlands of Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota 120,000,000 years ago ‘will be undertaken this summer by the American Museum of Natural History. F. Trubee Davison, president of the museum, announced Monday that the expedition, financed by Harry Sinclair, oil operator, will take the field in June, under the leadership of Dr. Barnum Brown, curator of fossil reptiles, In addition to making an aerial survey of fossil regions, the ex- bedition will excavate two skele- tons of prehistoric giants which were found in 1932 and partly un- covered in 1933. Dr. Brown said the monsters CANADIANS REPORT Plan Aerial Hunt for Dinosaurs SEEING BIG METEOR Which Roamed This Area Long Ago were of a new species which prob- ably belonged to the group of dinosaurs of which the huge | brontosaur is. a- representative. He estimated their-length at 50 feet and expressed fhe belief.that they lived 120,000,000 years ago. Headquarters for the expedition | will be established at Cloverly { postoffice, about 25 miles north- east of Greybull, Wyo. This site was selected because it is close to the rocky “grave” of the two sauropods. “I know it seems pre- posterous when I say that dino- saurs can be traced from the air,” said Dr. Brown, “but the fact of the matter is that the peculiar geological formations in which fossils are found can be seen from aloft with greater clarity in many instances than it is possible to locate them from ground.” INSURANCE NEED 1S Masonic Lodge Holds Past Masters’ Night Conferring of the Master Mason STRESSED BY YOUNG, coc i, sera The!

Tentative figures on tournament fi- nances disclosed a “take” of about $5,438 with expenses less than $1,400. This exceeds by approximately $1,000 the income from any previous tour- nament, Saxvik said, and was due largely to the excellent attendance at games preceding the final contest, since the crowd at the final game probably was only slightly larger than that which saw the closing con- test of the 1931 tournament, the first ‘| to be held here. Bolstering the income, also, was the sale of more than 1,500 tickets good for all tournament games. These were $1.75 each with 75 cents addi- tional for reserved seats. The for- mer prices were $2 and $3. Will Divide Profit Of the more than $4,000 which will be left after paying all expenses, the state high school league will get the first $1,000 and the remainder will be divided equally between the League and the Bismarck Assoclation of Com- merce, which annually underwrites the: tournament.
