Highway Commissioner Mcbride
Makes Report Of Expenses.
OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
Report shows the Expenditures for
Roads and Bridges in the DIFF .
ferent Precincts of the
County.

More than $4,000 was spent on road
and bridge work in Douglas county be-
tween April 10, 1911, and January l, 1917
according TO the report Of Highway Com
missioner Mcbride filed in the office OF
County Clerk Frank Dewey. The report
covers only nine months of last year for
the reason that the state law making
county surveyors highway commissioners
did not become effective until April.
Mr.. Mcbride recommends expenditures
OF approximately $4,000 on road and
bridge work during 1912 and also advises
some steps towards reduction OF expenses.
He recommends the paving OF an addl-
tional half mile at the end OF the paved
portion Of the Dodge street road for the
reason that the dirt road there often o.

comes the additional report that the two
roads are likely to join forces and make
Casper not only the metropolis of Wyo-

According 10 the reports received at the
railroad offices, the lease from the North

pletes its line from ThermopOlis, which
IS expected 10 be early this year, as

become unsafe and replacing them with
steel on concrete or concrete-steel arches

The commissioner urges the creation Of
permanent road fund from which
needed repairs may be paid. At present
this fund is replenished only by inherl-
lance tax collections and Is inadequate.
The report shows the cost per mile Of
operating the blade machines last year
was SJG2j as against S6225 in 1910. Be
cause the road overseers now are pro-
vided with small blade machines the
commissioner recommends the use this

ninety-seven men entered the mine,
of those men six came out the man

alive and thirteen men We're founG
aEve the next morning in the thir-
teenth entry where they had the
good Judgment TO take refuge in the
pump room and broke the air con
ncction and were revived by the
air The men on the thirteenth
south rushed out and tried TO get m
the slope and got sunocated frcm
after-damp and died on the slone.
There was no evidence of explosion
on the thirteenth North, or l-th
South. There was evidence found
where this company was disobeyins
the state law in regards to mining
See Sec. !, Art. 3, Senate Bill POI
says cross-cuts for ventilation in
sassy mines must be made thirty
feet apart, and the inspector insisted
on this rule at the mine, but Is
soon as he was gone, it seems that
this company would make cross-Cuts
forty feet apart and in some ia
stances, such as the twelfth South,
the face of the working places WAS
sixty feet in advance of ventilation,
and the thirteenth South entry was
also found to be sixty feet in dd
vance Of ventilation, and room niue-
teen was more than seventy feet IN
advance OF cross-cuts.
AS it is my desire to make known
to the general public the causes
leading up to this disaster, desire
to call their attention TO the fol-
lowing, which is part of the min
ing law found in Sec. 6, Art of
Senate Bill 26, which reads as fol.
lows: 1T shall he the duties of the
District inspectors to examine all the
mines in their respective districts
as often as necessary and not less
than once in every three months

provided that the nine committee
shall have authority to call the Mina
Inspector at any time in cases OF
emergency to see that the require
ments and provisions OF this Act
are strictly observed and carried
out"
The public can readily see that il
is impossible for the Inspector to
be at the different mines in his
district on each working day, as
there are about sixty mines in each
district on each working day, as
to make the inspections as provided
by law every quarter, and as all
mines that generate gas, can change
from safe to an unsafe condition
in "A few hours. therefore the law
requires qualified men for superin-
tendents, mine foremen and five
bosses. and the law plainly defines
the duties of each, and the men
under their charge trust their lives
in their hands, and with proper
care and diligence on the part of
each, such accidents as occurred at
McCurtain and in other coal mining
fields would be almost unknown, but
the mining laws are like all other
laws, Will never be rigidly enforced
until such time as the state or com.
ty officials have the hearty cooper
alton of the citizenship of every COM
munity.
Nothing but moral and practical
men should hold tne positions as
superintendent, mine toremen and
tire-bosses in this or any other state.
The fire-bosses should be protect

him in the performance OF his du-
