City Engineer’s Expense City Police Court (Copyright, 1936, Associated Press) Chicago, July 14. — The nation's losses by reason of crop destruction in the 1936 drouth were conservatively figured Tuesday at more than one Dillion dollars, of which total more than half was incurred by damage to growing grain in middle and North- west America — the nation’s bread basket—since July 1. In addition, losses sustained by hay and fogage crops, by livestock and by garden produce, incalculable at pres- ent, were figured in the millions. Sharply higher prices for the grains made some restitution to agriculture —at least to producers who had grain to sell—but vast quantities of animal and human food were wiped out at a Joss that never can be balanced. Calculated Average Price Calculation of the monetary loss to United States farmers was based on the average prices their destroyed) grain should have been worth at mar- ket.

Airport Le: Contingencies . B. W. Snow, nationally recognized crop authority, made round number estimates of the drouth’s reduction of the bushel volume of grain in June. Official and privcate sources, Snow said, would indicate that between June land July 1, heat and lack of mois- ture were responsible for a shrinkage in the corn crop prospect of at least 300 miliion busheis. Cites Further Shortage “The loss in spring wheat June 1 to July 1 is at least 140,000,000 bushels, with, of course, further heavy shrink- age between July 1 and the present,” he said. “In the case of winter wheat, there is a loss of about 7,000,000 bushels when the June prospect and July prospect are figured. “4 “The grain crop which has suffered most severely has been oats. A loss of at least 350,000,000 bushels occurred during the 30 days period. Rye Shrinkage “In the case of rye, there was a ehrinkage of at least 7,000,000 bushels. “The barley loss during that time is @ little more difficult to encompass but an estimate of 20,000,000 bushels would probably be regarded as very moderate. “Perhaps the most serious loss out-} side of the spring wheat crop has been | g, the destruction of cultivated hay crop} and the burning of pasture.” 209,778.95 on July 1 this year. 669.92 in special For Bismarck and vicinity somewhat cooler tonight.

Conditioning Expensive The program of air-conditioning coaches continues unabated, the/ speaker said, declaring that 50 per cent more coaches have been air-con- ditioned within the last year. Air- conditioning a coach costs from $3,500 to $8,000, Zuger said in explaining the great expense involved for the pas- senger’s comfort. Railroad passenger rates never were lower than they are now, the club members were told, and railroads are meeting freight competition by pr viding for pick-up and delivery ser- vice with no extra charges. Another remarkable feature of rail- road transportation is dependability of service, Zuger said. Kiwanians also were told that they must not overlook the economic side | of the railroad.

In addition to organizing the emer- gency relief work, Daily said, Tugwell is expected to continue studies of a permanent rehabilitation and resettle- ment program for arid areas of the midwest where crops have been ruined in several successive years. Daily and W. W. Alexander, another assistant to Tugwell, said a large part of western North and South Dakota jShould be taken out of intensive crop cultivation and returned to grass for grazing. $15,000,000 Needed Now that grain crops in the drouth areas have been ruined, Daily said, the administration's chief problem is helping farmers preserve their cattle herds. Officials estimated that $15,- 000,000 in federal funds would be needed now to help feed cattle until next spring, and that if rains do not fall soon, the cost of saving cattle will “ha [be about $30,000,000. The government's plan calls for loans to farmers to purchase feed, and for financial assistance in mov- ling cattle from burned out pastures to greener areas until the grass grows ain. The Resettlement administration re- vealed that $3,000,000 more has been olmade available for direct subsist- ence grants to farmers of the drouth states. An allocation of $393,000 for direct grants was made last week. Estimate Population Shift Daily said that estimates have been made by residents of North and South Dakota that about 30 per cent of the population of these states in the western parts should be removed jand the land returned to permanent grasses. However, the officials insisted that ‘18 ithe Resettlement administration at “" present has no plans, money or auth- ority to engage in the wholesale mov- ing of families.

PARK BOARD BUDGET IS PUT AT $410;900 Annual Report Shows Property Worth $96,959.01. and Debts of $811.12 Taxes totaling $10,800 will be levied for the current fiscal year by the Bis- marck city park board, according to the tentative budget prepared by that body. Hearing on the budget will be held at 7:15 p. m., July 22, at which time taxpayers will have the oppor- tunity to make suggestions for changes. The total a jations for the ppropri park board will be $14,591.12. The difference between that figure and the amount to be expended will be cared for by incidental revenues. Tax levies for 1934 were $9,000 and for 1935 they were $10,500. The principal additional expense for the coming year as compared with previous years is $3,000 for the mq- nicipal golf course but this is expected to be offset by revenues from this ac- tivity which took in $3,207.26 last year. Of the city’s 11 listed parks, play- grounds or other sites of activity, Cus- ter park is the most expensive, having cost $2,325 last year and being slated to cost $2,000 this year. Hillside Park, with an estimated expenditure of $1,- 400 is the next most expensive. Other parks listed by name are Kiwanis, Tatley, Riverside, Pioneer and Park Lake, the rest being playgrounds or athletic fields. ~ The debts of the park board total. only $811.12, this amount being due on the purchase price of land, and its property is valued at $96,959.01. This figure does not include improvements made by the CWA, PWA and CCC on park property since no value has been Placed on these services.
