PRICE FIVE CENTS g Projects SEEK APROVAL ON FIRST INSTALLMENT OF $3,000,000 JOB Re-Routings, Bridges and Un- derpasses Will Eliminate Dangerous Points TO TAKE LABOR FROM WPA Hope to Launch Program to Keep Unemployed Busy During Winter Months First instalment of a $3,000,000 grade separation program to elimin- ate dangerous highway-railroad cross- ings in the state Friday was sent to Washington for approval, W. J. Flannigan, state highway commission- er, announces, Included were highway re-routings to eliminate crossings, overhead struc- tures and underpasses. A total cost of approximately $1,615,000 was esti- mated in the first instalment sub- mitted to Washington. Labor will be taken from the works progress administration rolls. Under rules governing expenditure of fed- eral funds set aside for the crossing elimination program, 40 per cent of the total amount of money must be expended in labor. Expenditure of the money will be on the basis of mileage of railroad in the state for each line and popu- lation in the places in which the work will be done, Flannigan said. Allocation by Railways ‘The proposed allocation of all funds for crossing elimination on the rail- roads is: Northern Pacific, $912,000; Great Northern, $1,187,000; Soo Line, $788,000; Chicago, Milwaukee, 8t. Paul and Pacific, $223,000; Chicago, Northwestern, $8,500 and Midland- Continental, $45,000. “Every effort will be made to push these projects to enable our putting to work as many men as possible dur- ing the winter months when the re- mainder of the highway program will be at a standstill,” Flannigan said. Upon ap! by Washington, en- Hineers etart work immediately on preliminary surveys and estimates Se ee of each structure, Flannigan said. Following approval of the prelimin- ary estimates and to advertise for bids must be obtain- ed from the federal bereau of public roads, Flannigan explained. Labor Must Be Available Work on each project depends to @ large extent on the availability of labor under the WPA, Flannigan said. The projects must be approved from the labor standpoint by Thomas H. Moodie, state WPA administrator. In the list of proposed grade separ- ations were included an underpass on the Northern Pacific at West Fargo, to cost approximately $54,000. The underpass would be constructed on a feeder road leading to stockyards. One of the largest projects con- templated is relocation of state high- way 281 from Carrington to New Rockford, to eliminate three grade crossings and to result in construc- tion of two bridges, one over the Great Northern railroad at New Rockford, to cost $48,500, and one over the Soo Line tracks at Carrington, to cost $31,500. In addition re-routing of the highway for 15 miles, and straightening of the road would cost an additional $144,000. Highway 18, north and south of Inkster also will be relocated, under the program to eliminate two grade crossings over the Great Northern railroad. The five miles of grading and graveling will cost approximate- $45,000. Cando-Maza Job Big A third highway relocation is pro- posed between Cando and Maza in Towner county. Eight miles of high- way would be straightened, and two grade crossings eliminated, Flanni- gan said, at @ proposed cost of $76,- 000 on highway 281, A pedestrian subway in Mandan, at @ cost of $37,000, under the tracks of the Northern Pacific railroad, and an underpass beneath the tracks of the Great Northern crossing Wash- ington Street in Grand Forks, to cost $147,000 and an underpass beneath the Northern Pacific tracks in Dick- inson, to cost $172,000 are city pro- Jects proposed.
