Maximum Prices Fixed.
The establishment of maximum

STATE AUDITOR
TAKES SHOT AT.
HIGHWAY WORK
Karl Kosltzky Believes Engineer
ing Expense Is Run
Il" ming High.

r1AcI1oA ucl"een CaSS county Off
cials and the North Dakota highway
commission eliminated this morning
IN q letter from State Auditor Karl
kos1tzky to j. w. Bliss, state engi-
neer and secretary of the highway
commission, in which the state auditor
calls attention to the fact that since
March l, 1917, there has been paid
out OF the highway fund ,$3O,3O3.5O, of
which $214.12 has been paid for road
work, and $30,0S9.3S for salaries and
travelling expenses. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the state high
way commission has on it's payroll 80
people, drawing nearly $4,000 per
month in salaries and travelling ex-
penses, and advises that as member
of the auditing board he is opposed to
the expenditure of the highway fund
In this way, 'and shall vote against
paying said claims after January l.,
1918. 1t is my honest belief that the
people of the state expect roads to be
built out of dirt and not out of paper"
concludes the state auditor.
.... Not Inspired.
While State Auditor KOsitzky ad-
mits that complaints have reached his
ears from Cass county, where con
tractors object to the state highway
commissions specifications because
they are too precise, he insists that
the letter which he served this morn
ing on Mr.. Bliss originated with him.
self. AS Mr.. Kositzky constructs the
state highway law, ten percent of the
funds annually apportioned to the
commission from automobile regis
tration fees may be expended at the
discretion of the commissioner for en-
cheering and office expense, the re-
naming 80 per cent to be spent in
the counties in which the fees orig.
mated.
Mr. Kositzky says that $94,5S1 has
been collected from the registration of
automobile vehicles since the law be-
came operative, and that of this
amount the commission is entitled, un,
der the law, to but $9,45S. The act
also specifically appropriates $4,000
for the office expense of the commits
sion, which would, the state auditor
contends, make the whole amount
available this year for Office and engi.
'neering expense S17,45S, an amount
which he insists has been exceeded by
$12,631 in bills already allowed.
Specifications prepared for federal
aid highway work by the state COM
mission have complied with federal re.
quirements. They are admittedly more
strict than specifications upon which
highway contractors have been asked
to bid in years past, their aim being
to give the state and he federal gov.
eminent real roads in exchange for
real money.
Mr. Kositzky explained at length
this morning that he has very high
regard for the state engineer and the
state highway commission, but that
he canssee no reason for such heavy
office and engineering expenses. The
state Highway commission has been
working since the first Of March on
preliminary projects entirely, prepar.
ing vast amount of detail work
which is necessary before construc.
tion can be started on state and feder.
al highways which have been ap.
proved. The engineering expense has
