Frazier Approves Highway
Commission Way
to State and u. S. Aid
WILL ORGANIZElN 80 DAYS
Plan of Operation Outlined
by State Engineer Bliss
Big Results Expected

Bismarck, N. D., March 7.-Govern-
or Frazier yesterday signed House
Bill 1ss. creating a state highway
commission to consist OF the governor,
state engineer. commissioner of ag-
riculture and labor and two members,
to be named by the governor. The
chief executive becomes chairman,
and the state engineer secretary Of
the commission, which is, required to
meet at the capitol within thirty days
after the act takes effect : Inasmuch
as the bill carries an emergency clause
it became effective yesterday, and the
board must be organized not later
than April 5, which. will place it in
position to prepare for the early
spring campaign Of road building. "
State Engineer Jay w. Bliss stated
today that no concrete highway prop
osition has been offered to date for
the consideration Of the commission.
Application for projects for which
state and federal aid 10 desired must
be fled first with the secretary Of the
state commission. When these pro-
jects have been Investigated and ap-
proved by the state commission, they
will then be referred to the federal
highway engineer for this district,
who is located at st. Paul. Engineer

FIRST TO
OK. THEM
Teacherages Without Legal
Standing Elsewhere-Gov-
ernor Signs Bill

Bismarck. N. D., March TEACH
erages may heretofore have had legal
existence in Mars or some other planet,
but until the Fifteenth legislative as
sembly of North Dakota established
their status "teacherages" were q legal
nonentity in these good United States
of America,
This, in any event. is the opinion of
N. c. Macdonald. state superintendent
OF public instruction, who knows quite
a lot about teacherages, the first
teacherage known in North Dakota
having been established in his home
community in Grey township, Cavalier
county, fifteen years ago.
North Dakota now has more than
100 teacherages, a majority of which
are maintained in connection with
consolidated schools. Practically all
of these, however. have been built
without legal authority, the school
laws of North Dakota having provided
for the construction Of woodsheds,
barns and other more or less necessary
adtuncts to the school building, but
making no mention Of teacherages,
Teacherages have been built in spite
Of authority by the more COURAGEOUS
school districts. and there has been no
objection raised. Senator Wenstrom's
bill, which Mr.. Macdonald believes to
be the first enactment which uses the
specific term "teacherage," will, when
Governor Frazier signs it, remove any
doubt as to the board of any school
district having full right to build a
central dwelling for it's teachers,
The National Educational assoc
ciation has had a number Of fights
over the use Of the term, members
favoring "manse" and numerous other
substitutes. The embodyinr of
"teacherage" in North Dakota's pion-
eer bill seems to clinch the title.

GREATER
INCOME IS
EXPECTED
New Automobile Registra-
ton Law Will Bring More
Cash Into Road Fund

Bismarck, n. D., March z. The
signing of H. B. No. 1877. which the
governor now has under consideration,
will Immediately add thousands of
dollars to the amounts which will be
available for the construction of bet
ter highways in North Dakota In
addition to diverting into the state
highway fund two-thirds of all the
revenues received from the registra-
ton and REPRESENTATION OF cars in
private hands, at the present fee Of
SO per annum, the bill requires dealers
to take out a special license each year
for each separate car handled, at $40
per annum. and the income from this
source will be considerable. The
average dealer takes on from three to
five cars, which would make his con-
tribution, at SIS the car. equivalent to
the amount received from fifteen to
twenty-five individual owners. Deal
ers' licenses in a city such as Bis
marck, for instance. will produce
under this act a revenue of $3.50 to
$500 per annum which heretofore has
not been available. Dealers also must
ray the regulation individual registra-
ton fee for each demonstration car.
#Another important feature Of this
h3H said Secretary Of State Hall, lis
the Inct that, it gives the secretary Of
aBIAI@a A1LAOTlLy 10 appoint al agent
to enforce the provisions Of the act.
There IN one place in this county
where a sfagle license tag is being
used by eighs car owners. Knocking
around theiiai own neighborhood, the
automobilists do not use any tag, but
when they have occasion to jump into
the next CO Unity they drive over to
Hanks or 'BilPs' or wherever the
community tag chances to be at that
moment and borrow 1t for the trip. In
another locality of which have
knowledge one license tag is similarly
used by fourteen people"
Last year the revenue from automo-
bile licenses under the present law
was approximately 100000. Under
the new act. the total this year should
be we'll in excess of 100000, Of which
two-thirds will go into the state high
way fund, to be coupled with the $685.
1000 available from the Shackleford
federal aid act. for the construction of
trunk line roads.
