Face-Lifting’ Will Give North Dakota S RECONDITIONING 10 BE STARTED IN ‘36 148 Miles of Main. Arteries -to Be Made Wider, Smoother Under WPA Plan “Safety roads”—a system of wider, newly-surfaced, reconditioned high- ways—will make their appearance in North Dakota next year, under a ‘WPA highway program approved by both WPA and national emergency council officials. The reconditioning plan, emerging from the state highway department, will’ make possible safer travel at “ever-rising speeds” through a wider shoulder and smoother surfaces, W. J. Flannigan, state highway commis- sioner, declared. Involved are a total of more than 148 miles of main highway in the state, and an approximate expendi- ture of $752,200. Twelve counties will profit by final Washington approval of the plan, which will obligate approximately one-fourth of the $2,867,245 set aside for highway purposes in the state by the federal government. ‘Face-Lifting’ Roads Benson, Billiings, Foster, Golden Valley, Grand Forks, Hettinger, Kid- der, McKenzie, Ramsey, Slope, Stuts- man and Ward counties are slated for the “face-lifting” of highways, Flan- nigan said. Highways will be widened in sched- uled stretches from 24 feet to 32 feet, on highways Numbers 10, 2, 81, and 52. According to J. N. Roherty, research engineer of the state highway de- partment. Advertising for bids for the various projects will probably take place with- in the next three weeks, but con- struction work, because of the late- ness of the season, probably cannot get under way until next year, Roh- erty explained. It is planned to rip the present cov- ering from the highway stretches, re- grade and re-gravel, under this pro- gram, resulting in a wider roadbed. Other Funds Available Out of the other funds, set aside for the purpose, but not hemmed by rigid material -employment regulations of WPA, will come monies for covering the widened roads with oil mix sur- facing, Roherty said. Although the money has already been allocated for the oil-mix surfac- ing, under the federal bureau of roads regulations, the highways must first be brought to condition of grade and sub-grade satisfactory to the federal bureau, Roherty said. Scheduled for the “face-lifting” process are: No. 10, in Kidder and Stutsman counties, from Medina to Dawson, approximately 25 miles; Car- rington westward on No. 7, approxi- mately six miles; Ellendale north and south, on U. S. No. 281; Golden Valley county, eastward from the Montana state line, on U. @. 10; approximately 10 miles; Billings county, from the Stark county line toward Medora, on No, 10; Grand Forks county, U. 8.

The letter was made public as lead- ers discussed the method by which the compromise drafted by Senator Barkley (Dem., Ky.), to end the dis- pute over mandatory abolition of holding companies called “unneces- sary,” would be brought before the house, The proposed compromise would eliminate the senate requirement that holding companies considered “un- necessary” be dissolved by 1942. It would direct the securities com- mission to reduce all holding compa- nies to “single integrated” systems with a few exceptions, The president’s advocacy of the compromise finally won from Demo- cratic leaders an agreement to take up the matter on the house floor about 3 p. m. today (eastern standard a S General Contractor New Bismarck High School Building MAURICE SCHUMACHER Baker Building MINNEAPOLIS Supt.
