before the road retires.
Probably many of you know that for
years bills were introduced into con.
gress for government help on roads
possibly 800 or more. The act of July
II. 1915, embodied much state eN-
perience. The amount of money carried
for post roads was $4,000, 600 and was wa
available in amounts beginning with i've

million yearly till 1920 (July) when the
last installment Of S15,OOO.OOO available.
."The distribution 70 the states was
based on a New York principle Of area

Thus Montana benefits by area and
mileage and is handicapped by small
population. In Massachusetts the re-
verse is true. The amendment to the
post office appropriation act Of 1919
adds to the above amounts OF Sto,ooO,-

this total Of $275, 100000 for post roads,

One Obstacle in Montana.

"The only defect in the original act
brot out at the meeting of the American
association of highway officials at Rich
mond in 1917 was the definition Of a
''post road The troublesome defini-
tion is now amended. The main OBJ
stacle in the use Of this great federal
appropriation in Montana, has been ex-
listing constitutional and legislative re-
strictions on the local funds. The infor-
nation now available shows that by 1920
$275,00O additional will be available from
existing county bond issues and that 80
additional counties will within 80 days
vote on an additional total of S. 100000.
It is therefore apparent that sufficient
local money may soon be available to
meet all the federal post road funds
There will remain however, the limi-
tation Of Article Is, Section five Of your
constitution, limiting all projects to $40
600. 1t is confidently believed by the
federal authorities that you will soon
work out a solution of that difficulty.
At present 35 of the post road projects
show the influence of that limitation.
TIE average cost of each federal aid
read project so far natnred is S3445o.
the total mileage is 323 and the average
cost ner mile (exclusive of larger
br;dges) is S4,20n.
This means light construction ana
for 169 miles is grading only.
'On 146 miles gravel surface is pro-
vided and on seven and onefourth miles,
hard surface.
''Your state has approximately 3D.

had been surfaced to January ]. 1919.

road.
'The federal aid road act requires
that the secretary of agriculture deal
directly with the several state high
way departments. For the counties to
use their bond money in meeting federal
money, it is necessary by law that they
deal thru the state commission. This
form of cooperation is proving success
full thruout the country. 1t requires
resolution by the county authorities max

No FRY FOR POSTED STREAMS
State Win Not Furnish Fish Under
Certain Conditions

A letter from the State Conserva-
ton Commission puts new light on
fishing in trout streams where farm
ers and others have posted the land
against trespass. The letter follows:
1t quite often happens that after
streams have been well stocked by the
state and the fishing becomes good
that the land owners endeavor to en-
Joy all the good fishing by themselves,
and post their land against the public,
thus preventing them from fishing IN
the stream. They are often disap-
pointed, however, in the results, as the
public can fish in the stream without
entering on the land in many cases,
and if the same situation exists IN
your county you would be privileged
to wade the stream and fish, and there
by not enter upon the land posted.
We wish also to add that II the
stream remains posted that no more
fish viii be sent from the state hatch
cries 10 stock it. Applicants for fry
must state that the fish will be planted
in streams open TO the puolic.-State
