OF between 100000 and ss00.ooo act
ually available for use. according 10
Chairman c. p. Allen OF the commits
sion. The treasurer's office fixes lie
amount at little less than $5o0.oo0.
AT present there is more than $780,
600 on hand for the work in available
funds from all sources. The land
board turned over s1s.552e3 on the
leases and land sold for October SC
Gently. The receipts for November
and December will ALSO be turned oy-
er. averaging probably $1,000 each
month.
The last payment to the fund was
from the government, a s15.s55.24 pay
ment OF per cent of the net proceeds
from the sale of public lands having
been received at Treasurer Kenehan's
office. The government pays about
twice a year on lands. so the state
land board provides the only source
available for further funds.
The fund on hand IL actually in the
treasury. available at once. The $780,
900 due from the capital board Is not
included. although the highway con-
mission has been endeavoring to OBJ
tain the fund ever since 1t was Great
ed
The interest ON the money now N
the treasury goes to the state while IL
Is lying ldle. While there are several
sources from which funds are due or
may come. which would raise the
total higher. there can be hardly moie
than half million dollars actually
available for instant use on the roads.
The total amount depends on the
land board and the sales and leases
cannot be estimated in advance.

point is about four and half or five
