STATE HIGHWAYS BOARD RE
PLIES TO ATTACK.
Not Being Used, 1t Says, TO Build
Up Murphy Machine.
1923, 600, 600 NOT TOUCHED.

Albany, Sept. 16. State Engineer
John A. Bensel of New York city, State
Superintendent of Public Works Dun
can w. Peck of Syracuse and c. Gordon
Reel, State Superintendent of High
ways, who comprise the State Highway
Commission, held a meeting to-day and
authorized the commissions secretary,
Charles p. Dillon, to make the follow
ing statement regarding this mornings
published attack on Gov Dix and the
commission in the matter of the expen-
diture of the good roads appropriations
''In regard to the attack on this de-
partment published through the col
umns of the New York World of even
date, l desire, on behalf of the commits
sion, to make public a complete denial
of allegations contained therein.
ITO begin with it is true that the
people of the State of New York in
1905 voted $50, 900, 900 for the construc-
ton of highways. 1t is true that when
the State Commission of Highways ap-
pointed by Gov. Dix took office there
remained approximately 1923, 000,0 600 of
the fund for the construction of high
ways still unappropriated. However,
this sum was divided into fund known
as expedited routes, which totalled
the sum of $13, 955, 900. And the bal
ance of $9,055, 900 constituted fund
for the construction of highways other
than expedited routes, to which should
be added the share to be borne by the
several counties.
COMPTROLLER HAS $23, 900, 900 ON HAND.
at is not true that there is left moth
ing in the highway fund. On the con-
trary, while all these various contracts
have been let, totalling a mileage of
], TIC miles, which was embraced in the
lettings held in November, 1911, April,
June and September, 1912, the fact
that the contracts have been let or
awarded does not mean that the money
in the treasury has been actually paid
over, but it is obligated so that when
the work has been performed the
money will be there to pay for it. An
amount, approximately $23, 200, 900, is
now in the hands of the State Comp
troller and it is the new contracts and
new roads that will require an addi-
ional bond issue of 100000 900.

1t becomes very evident from the
above that the S1,0O0,0 900 automobile
fees is very small sum in New York
State as against keeping its highways
in repair, although it is well known that
large part of the expense in building
and repairing the highways has been
largely the result of their use by auto
mobiles.

NEW YORK HIGHWAY FUNDS.

A recent item in the New York papers
states that the license fees for auto
mobiles for the year had increased to a
little over 81 900, 600.
This amount certainly, so obtained,
could be fairly used upon the highways,
and one would naturally think it quite
a sum.
But today in the New York World
is an item how Boss Murphy at New
York had spent $23, 600, 600 of State
money on highways.
We should be pleased to learn the
average cost of highways in New York
State each year.

GOLLMAR BROTHERS CIRCUS
GolImar Brothers Circus Parade Re.
veaIs Character of Show.

The Gollmar Brothers Show which
exhibits in Litchfeld, Friday, June
18th, features everything connected
with it, from the street parade to the
concert. The press of other cities
have made only the most favorable
comment for Gollmar Brothers par
ade. Even when the show visits ter
ritory where it has never been, it's
magnificent street pageant SO agree
ably surprises the public that they
are sure to crowd the immense tents.
It is the parade that the manage
ment Of a circus can show to good
advantage the stability and character
Of the aggregation. If it is a cheap
concern, giving only ordinary per-
formances, it's parade will tell the
tale. If it is really meritorious the
street display will demonstrate the
fact. The splendid equipment Of the
great Gollmar Brothers Circus is
shown to excellent advantage in the
big parade, and the tableaux, wagons,
dens, cages, and chariots are re-
splendently decorated with costly
carvings, gilt and varnish. An un-
usually large number Of dens are
open in the parade, and the general
public is given free exhibition of
a fine array Of wild animals. All in
all, it is pronounced by many, the
finest and best circus display ever
seen upon any streets. But it is in
the circus performance that the show
excels.
The parade Of the Gollmar Bro:
theirs Show will start from lot at 1C
o'clock sharp, and traverse the prin-
cipal streets, at Litchfeld, Friday
June 18th.

NORWAY.

: Norway Is the only Independent and
sovereign nation in which there is alb.
solute political equality between the
sexes. And further, it Is the only
place in the world where the fair sex
has supreme power. In all other equal
suffrage territories, such as the six
states Of western United States. and
the British dominions in Australia and
New Zealand. being new and frontier
regions, there are more men than
women. But in Norway the women
Ear outnumber the men. For example.
n the capital city, there are now three
