WY .sesld vote yes" in the federal aid
road eleetion3
: Because the state law requires a vote Of the
people to authorize county board to accept
federal aid for paved roads and federal govern
ment engineers have notified the state high
way commission that roads In counties like
Marshall must b paved in order to receive
federal aid.
The telegram Of the director of public roads
at Washington, D. c., to the state highway
commission May S1st reads: "This department
I mot 7o;dt 4aas b.
adequate for present trafhc and increase rea-
Oonably expected in near future"
What roads are going to be paved7
The law provides that the federal and state
aid money, called the primary road fund, must
be spent on the primary roads and the primary
way. east Of Marshslltown, the south road : to
State Center, the North Third avenue road
and the South Center street road to Laurel,
thence westward. After these primary roads
are paved other roads will be taken into the
primary road system. r. SGT
Who selected the primary roads?
The federal law required the state highway
commission to select q primary system Of inter
county roads which would link up with other
counties and constitute a state system OF mill
tary and post roads. The legislature then
adopted the system selected. 3 -
:, What will the tax be?
No tax Whatever on general property for
primary roads All of the grading and drain:
ing and three-fourths of the paving will be paid
jointly by Uncle Sam and the state. One
fourth Of the PAVING ONLY will be assessed
to all Of the land not less than 2 mile nor more
than . mile and half from the road. This
assessment will be on the ten year certificate
plan. " ~..
Did you say that no property outside the
paving district would be taxed?
Not any. No bonds are being voted and no
general tax. Uncle Sam gets bis money largely
from income taxes and the state matches Uncle
Sans money dollar for dollar from auto
licenses ~ 49,. ~.
What will the cost be to land near paved
That depends but probably about 500 per
year for a quarter section farm on the road to
les per annum for a quarter section mile OF

be assessed for one-fourth the cost of the paw

HOG ISLAND YARD
LARGEST IN WORLD
Covers $50 Acres Along the Delaware
River.

The Hog Island yard, largest in tn,
world, and at the time of its construc
| ton exceeding in size any five in tn,
United States, covers $50 acres of LAND
along the Delaware river.
AT a time when the cry was Ships
will win the war the American Inter
national Corporation, a great financial
aId industrial corporation backed by
many of the biggest financiers and
/ business men of the country, volun-
| teered to undertake the construction
| of the great shipbuilding city A con-
tract was signed in September, 1917.
with the Emergency Fleet Corporation
by which the American Anternational
| Corporation, through itS subsidiary.
! the American international Shipbuild-
| ing Corporation, undertook to build the
great shipyards and turn out ships
faster and in greater numbers than
had ever before been attempted. The
first ship was launched from the yard
early in August, 1918, less than a year
later.
In the intervening year the yard has
been built up from the bare marsh
lands. Twenty-Five acres of covered
buildings were constructed, seventy
two miles of track laid within the
yards, facilities for handling 400
freight cars a day provided, 120, 00O'
piles, enough to reach from New York
to Chicago, driven, and sewerage
system, fire department, hospitals and
the innumerable other accessories pro-
vfded. From a desert Hog Island
became a modern city. Armies of men
were employed, varying from 10000
to 10000 and even more. Fifty great
shipways, Including ten of concrete,
stretched out into the river.
The plant was primarily fabricat-
ing plant. Thousands of factories all
over the country which could make
the innumerabIe parts of ships, but |
which could not build the ships
themselves. were welded into a great
organization which fed Hog island |
There the skilled workmen gathered |
together the wood, metal and engines |
into ships.
The plant might easily be converted /
into great terminal for European or /
coastwise traffic. The wet basin of L
the plan, for example. has seven 1000 l
foot piers. These are 100 feet wide |,
AND are equipped with double railroad /
tracking. with plenty of room for
other tracks if necessary. Each of |
these piers could accommodate four
ships at time. Other piers could
be built without much trouble to in
crease it's facilities. The railroad sys-
tenn used for the transportation of
TO the yards could easily be
ADAPTED for the handling of cargoes.
