FEDERAL MONEY

One hundred million dollars of fed

but through the Nevada highway de-
partment and highway departments OF
other states in the West an effort is
being made to secure federal funds on
different basis for building roads
through public lands and II the bill
now being designed Is accepted by
congress federal aid will be available
at ratio of about nineteen dollars to
one of state money. The Weekly News
Bulletin of the department Of agri-
culture of September s. prints the fol-
lowing:
Unless federal action is taken dur
ing the current fiscal year concerning
federal aid in road building the re-
sulting uncertainty as to the future of
this work will seriously handicap the
states and cause the entire road-build-
ing program to suffer serious set
back, according to Thomas II. Mac
Donald, chief of the bureau of public
roads, U. S. department of agriculture.
In discussing the need of federal act
ion this year, Mr. Macdonald points
out taht the last installments of fed

came available July l. 1920. When to
this is added at least an equal amount
of state funds. as required by law II
states are to secure federal aid. funds
will be available sufficient to carry

ward for the current year. But Mr.
Macdonald points out that the states
should know at least year in ad.
vance what funds are to be available
in order that plans can be made fol

Rock Crusher
Works Well
Has Large Reserve Of Road Building
Material ON Hand and VIII Lead
In Highway Work

The rock crushing outfit owned by
Douglas county and which is in opera
tion near the Lutheran Church in the
river bed, is running full time crush
ing material for the new highway now
under construction between Gardner
vile and Minden. The plant was
put in operation some weeks ago and
has been running steady since that
time. Hundreds of tons of road ma
terial has been crushed and piled UP
for delivery. This reserve supply is
to be held until needed and at this
time motor trucks are being loaded
at the bunkers as the material comes
direct from the crusher.
The river bed where the crusher
was set up afforded world of ma
terial but 1t is doubtful II sufficient
rock will be obtained without moving
the plant
The crusher is fed by an elevator,
the material being brought to the
automatic machine by means of two
Fresno scrapers. II requires two
men to feed the rocks into the buckets
on the elevator belt. After passing
through the crusher the material is
elevated to the grader where a revolv-
ing screen sorts the material and
drops into the different bunkers below.
From these bunkers motor trucks are
loaded by gravity, and it is not nee
essary to touch the material from the
time 1t goes to the crusher. The
motor trucks are equipped with self
dump bodies and owing to the close
proximate of material to the new
highway two trucks are able handle
a large amount of material.
The crusher is being operated under
the supervision of C. o. Falcke and a
force of six men.

Although the various committees at
work on the finance drive which the

the state this month are finding pro-
gress somewhat slower than last year,
it is the hope of the state organiza-
ton to have the allotted $13,44S COL
lected Or pledged in quick time.
According to word received this
morning by Miss Catherine DeVeau,
director Of the campaign in the state,
$16S.25 has already been raised in
Trail county. Mrs. Guy F.NI'airchild,
chairman Of the First district. has re-
ceived a check of s24.60 from the city
of Michigan, covering the amount
raised there for the cause. Miss
Anna Maum is chairman of the Michi-
gan City drive and reported that the
cold weather and expanse of sickness
prohibited the success of the drive to
a greater extent in that community
On Friday Mrs. Fairchild and Miss

state speak for success in the cam
