G. Plomasen, state highway commissioner. Five-point legislation affecting the State highway department was rec- ommended by Plomasen in his report, together with an anaylsis of work done under federal funds. Plomasen recommended no increase of road mileage until the present sys- tem is improved. Before going into a larger system, including roads of light traffic, our main highways should be reconstructed so that snow trouble will be largely eliminated.” North Dakota is behind neighboring states in amount of dustless surfaced roads “which should be extended as s00n as possible.” He pointed out this ‘would be of benefit to the traveler, but would also reduce “maintenance cost on the gravel which unless oiled wears and blows away rapidly.” Asked for More Speed Appropriations during the past year were large, Plomasen said, “and the bureau of public roads demanded more speed than our forces could deliver. ‘They insisted on a strengthening and i of our personnel before they would resume relations with the highway department after the suspen- ° sion of payment which followed the conviction of certain state officals on @ federal charge. Plomasen referred to the conviction of Frank A. Vogel, then state hignway commissioner, in | duly with deposed Gov. William Lan- ger, on charges of conspiracy to de- fraud the United States government. 2 . Because of salary cuts and employ- ment of highway engineers by federal agencies, the staff was crippled for a time, the report, points out.” It was necessary to intrease salaries and to go outside the state to get sufficient number of men,” Plomasen reported. ——_—________ | Weather Report ] FORECAST _ In Student Enrollment gimp pop ANNUAL 432 Pupils New to Bismarck System This Year Making Total Matriculation of 2,093; Requires Hiring of Two Additional Teachers this year. entered school this fall, making 201 pupils attending the various schools In addition to this number there are 233 first graders who @ total of 432 pupils who had never at- tended the local public school prior te this year.

Short projects are much more expen- sive per mile than those which can be contracted in considerable lengths. A distribution among counties does not provide enough funds for the main arteries.” Proposes Legisiation For legislative action, Plomasen rec- ommended: Passage of a civil service act, to place all employes of the maintenance division under civil service, stringently barring them from actively partici- Pating in politics. Appropria\ of motor vehicle funds for the department to match 1935 and 1936 federal aid road appro- priations, rather than payment of motor vehicle collections for bond in- terest.
