Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 23-One small ap-
preparation item of the legislature may
as we'll be stricken from the list and
by that much the aggregate Of appro-
priations will be reduced. This is the
$4,000 for the "epidemology laboratory"
in the state university appropriation.
1t is available but only as part of
another appropriation, so it Is not adj
ditional
Two years ago the legislature made
mess Of handling the investigation of
epidemics. OF course under TIE gen.
eral law the state board Of health is
required to investigate all health mat
ters and epidemics of diseases come
under this head. But an item of $4,000
for an epidemiologist, or one specially
charged with looking into epidemics
was attached to the state university
appropriation by mistake. Hence more
or less of conflict which was unfortu-
nate all round.
An epidemiologist was appointed at
the state university. The state board
Of health went ahead looking into all
flict over water analyses because at the
state meteorological laboratory at the
st" te university analyses were offered
a special chemist who charged $40.
Available at Once.
So the legislature started in this
priated the $4,000 again for an "epi-
RI io1N 1oh or to ha c+a 10 mi
versity Then later it provided that
this appropriation lis hereby made
available for the use of the laboratory
ter" attaching this to the section ap-
propriating $4,000 year for all the
work of the archaeological laboratory
The $4,000 is specifically made to cover
the salary of the epidemiologist, water
analysts and other assistants. Hence
it is made very clear that all the legis-
lature did with the $4,000 was to pro-
vide that O. the $4,000 already appro-
priated, $4,000 should be made available
for the work of the laboratory at once
instead of waiting until in July. The
effect Is just the same as II it was not
appropriated at all.
Then the Twenty-sixth provided that
of health shall be done at or t ru the
laboratory herein provided" That puts
the state chemist for the board of
the board OF health out OF business.
It is also provided that the analyses
and Investigations at the laboratory
shall be made whenever requested by
the state board of health or any state
institution or by any citizen. school or
municipality. when deemed proper by
a local board of health, and such ex-
aminations shall be made without
charge except for transportation
charges and actual cost of examination
not to exceed So" The state board Of
health will therefore be paying out Of
its funds to the state university for
analyses and investigations, when
ordered by the board. There will be no
free analyses for anybody.

where there were increases, but In
some of the larger counties tho sal
aries were reduced. But by the cut
ting Off Of fees and other changes 1t
is fairly estimated that the aggregate
amount paid to county officers in the
state was not materially changed.
Senator Chase got thru the senate the
last week bill which If 1t had be-
come law would have left in force
all the reductions in these several
bills, and would have left the deduc-
ton of all fees from the perquisites of
the offices, but would have prevented
any corresponding increase in salaries
to make it up so long as the present
terms continue. It would have taken
at least 100000 from the county Off
GERS year, until new terms were
commenced.
The provisions as to salaries being
all that the officials can get are made
very plain. For instance in regard to
county treasurers the bill says:
THE treasurer shall accept the sal
airy herein provided in full compensa-
ton for all services performed under
color of his office. All fees of every
kind and nature which he receives for
services performed in his official
capacity. or on matters pertaining to
the records in his office. shall belong
to the county and shall be paid into
the county treasurer quarterly
There is provision that in coun-
ties having 10000 population with first
class cities the board may allow ad-
ditional compensation not to exceed
$50 for each 5000 Of population.
The provision as to fees is the same
for auditors as for treasurers, and for
sheriffs the same except as to mileage
The provision as to deputy sheritfs is
that the sheriff shall appoint one or
more. the number to be fixed by the
board of supervisors and also the
salaries and all deputies shall be paid
by the county. The deputy auditor is
in like terms.
The county board may authorize one
or more deputy treasurers with SAL
airy not to exceed 5000 a year, and the
same rule applies as to deputy clerks
of courts.
Special provision for deputies is
made in Muscatine, Lee and Pottawat-
TAME counties.

CRAWFORD COUNTY ROAD WORK.
Contract Awarded For Twenty Seven
Steal and Concre&e Rridues.

Contract Awarded For Twenty Seven
Steel and Concrete Bridges.
Denison, April 23-The people OF
Iowa may be interested in what Craw-
ford county is doing in the line of road
and bridge building this year, and as
to what the work will cost on the con-
tract plan.
On March 20, 1915, the board let a
contract for the construction Of TWEEN
ty-seven concrete and steel culvertS
and bridges a the average cost of 1856
per cubic yard of reinforced concrete.
Then today, April 81. the board let a
contract for 81 900 cubic yards of per-
manent road grade, for placing nine
different pieces Of our county road to
permanent grade. There were fifteen
different bids, and the contract was let
to w. R. Shipman. Of Sioux City, Iowa,
for the price of 1853 cents per cubic
yard of fill, remarkably low figure.
This contract covers about seven and
half miles Of our county road sys-
TEN.
Crawford county is setting a record
this year that will be hard for any
other county in this state to surpass
If the hilly county of Crawford. with
not a level township in the county, can
set such a pace, why it 1t that some
of the more level counties in the state
cannot do so?
Now for a comparison of what 1t
cost Crawford county to build roads
and concrete culverts and bridges
under the old road law, with what it
costs under the present system.
Under the old road law we have no
record Of what it cost per cubic yard
Of fill. but We know that It was by
day labor and was very expensive. The
matter Of putting a road on permanent
grade was unheard of. Under the old
road law our culverts and concrete and
steel bridges cost us on an average
from SIS and SIS per cubic yard Of re-
inforced concrete.
In 1914 we built under the present
road law, some ffty-fve culverts and
bridges at an average price OF S11 per
cubic yard Of reinforced concrete. Tn
der the contract system we placed
about fifteen miles of our county roads
on permanent grade at an average cost
Of 1877 cents per cubic yard Of fill.
Then this year we are coming In
and srna shing all former records by
having our culverts and bridges built
at 966 per cubic yard Of reinforced
concrete. and our road work done for
1853 cents per cubic yard Of fill.
1t seems that II some Of these boards
of supervisors from some Of these 9TH
er counties Of the state that are dis
gr,1ntled, would settle down to business
and work together with the state high
way commission, in place Of fighting it
all the time, they might get some Of
the splendid results that good old
Crawford county is getting.
