CONDEMNATION OF MORE ROADS SEEN 2,500 Miles of Highway May Be Labelled Unsatisfactory by U. S. Bureau Possibilities that more than 2,500 miles of roads in the North Dakota highway system will be labeled “un- satisfactory” to U. 8. Bureau of Pub- lic Roads standards was seen Mon- day by P. E.. Gurvin, maintenance engineer, who said the bureau sur- vey would probably be complete late this month. Gurvin asserted over 1,800 miles were declared “unsatisfactory” when the check was made last year and it was “entirely ” an additional 700 miles of road will be added to the total this year. Gurvin said the department’s $1,- 452,985.61 budget in 1936 was “ te) ficient” to maintain the 6,700-mile system. He explained the 1936 budget was exceeded by about $185,191 and that Nc Joan will be repaid from the $1,395,000 budget ma! for 1937, a smaller maintenance than was allowed last year. Comparing the North Dakota bud- get with Minnesota, Gurvin said that state spends about $8,500,000 annually for maintenance and that Minnesota’s budget for snow removal alone is $1,700,000 or more than North Dakote’s entire maintenance allotment. He ssid snow removal costs in this state last year were $242,000 and only $100,000 had been budgeted for this work. The excess in snow removal monies forced the department to cut down on other types of work to make he said, “conse- suffered.” oe pointed out that although the government allows North Dakota 100 per cént féederal grants for new construction, no U. 8. funds are available for maintenance.

Entering the pleasant and hospit- able doorway there is, first, a small vestibule which’ boasts an ample clothes closet. The living room is 15 feet long and 13 1-3 feet wide. From it opens a spacious porch which may be enclosed to make # sun room for winter, as well as a delightful sitting room for summer use. The dining room and kitchen take up the central ise part of the house, while two bedrooms and a bath are arranged at the rear, overlooking gardens. Ventilation should be particularly good in this small house on account of the fact that the arrangement of windows and doors make for cross currents. The general effect of this home is spaci- ousness and comfort. DUKE OF WINDSOR'S MINISTER RESIGNS PR ERE Who United Former King and American: tot Lecture in U. S.
