BUILDINGS FOR
THE STATE COLLEGE
IEGJST,ATJYRE WILL BE ASKED
TO PROVIDE MONEY FOR
CONSTRUCTION WORK.

From news items that have ap-
peared recently in the daily press 1t
looks as though Chancellor E. G. FL
lott, head of the state educational
system, was going to make strong
bid for new buildings at the coming
session of the legislature. Recently
in speaking to the Helena CONNER
cial club he produced figures to snow
that Montana ranks fortieth in the
48 states of the union in the amount
of money spent on its institutions OF
higher learning and ranks last OF all
among the northwestern states IN
this regard. According to his state
ment there is no state in the union
with such poor and Inadequate build
ings.
Conditions at the state college at
Bozeman are said to be particularly
deplorable. Five years ago the class
rooms and laboratories were over
crowded but since that time the num-
Der of students has doubled and not
a building has been added. The re-
cent burning of the chemistry build
ing has brought about additional
hardships and many branches of the
college work are seriously handl-
capped for want of room.

Designs for all bridges are stan
dardized for a uniform loading and
are made uniform as far as permits
sible as to floor panel lengths. All
bolt and pin work is eliminated and
only solid riveted construction erect

bridge work is constructed in every
county and no longer are bridge con-
tracts let at the cheapest possible
figure for a structure that will span
stream regardless of whether it is
economically the best design for the
requirements for that particular case.
Instead structures are now being
built to meet Montana's present traf-
fic requirements, with the future an
ticipated 80 far as the best obtain

The highway commissions en-
gineers found, upon investigating for
the purpose of Standardization of
bridge plans that the traffic carried
upon the public roads and bridges
required very careful consideration
in order to determine what was a
reasonable capacity for present and
future needs.

Heavy loads are very frequently
carried on motor trucks, or tractors
of such size as to assume alarming
proportions. An every day occur
renee is to meet motor truck travel
ing over the roads and bridges load
ed with five yards of gravel, or in
many cases ore or merchandise
weighing from six to as high as as
Is tons, to which must be added the
weight of the truck ranging from two
to five tons. In many cases three
fourths of this load is carried on the
two rear wheels, bringing extraordin-
airy severe stress on the bridge floors.
These conditions could not be anti
cipated at the time of the building OF
existing structures. Herds of live
stock and fast moving motor traffic
all contribute their influence toward
the destruction of all bridges. After
carefully investigating the effect OF
all these elements, the state highway

State Highway Commission.)
The building of highway bridges
in Montana is now on a competitive
basis, the state highway department
being required to furnish plans and
specifications for all bridges con-
structed within the state and costing
over five hundred dollars. This re-
quirement is in accordance with the
act of the Fourteenth session OF the
state legislature, and has been tried
out during the past eighteen months
in practically every county in the
state.
The results are very gratifying
and Montana is now obtaining the
highest class of bridge construction
at the lowest possible cost consistent
with high-grade construction which
is necessary to meet local traffic re-
quirements.
