or 5.2 percent, being outranked as fol-
lows: Nebraska, 1884; Texas, 1921,
and Minnesota, 1886.
Estimated cost of the 80 projects for
North Dakota was given as approx
mately $3.50 900 or less than one per-
cent of the total estimated cost of
SITS, 10000. The state projects con-
cerned, it was announced, involve re-
quests for $1,275,000 federal aid or IL
percent of the total federal aid sought
by. all the states. y. -}s%E>,., s,-s- sess
FOURTH IN RECOMMENDATIONS
Other data furnished by the bureau.
as announced by Mr.. kaulfuss, were
as follows: ..E.
"In plans, specifications and esti-
mates recommended for approval,
North Dakota ranks fourth and six
teenth respectively as to mileage and
number of projects involved. North
Dakota has 5O2 miles out of 1857 or
a. percent and 50 projects out of 1,5O4
or 2.5 percent. These 38 projects are
estimated to cost $1,418,000, the esti-
mated cost of the total 1904 being
1854 4,494,0OO. North Dakota's 38 pro-
jects involve requests for about $709,-
900 federal aid or about one percent of
the total $7O,S33,OOO federal aid in all
the projects.
| "In project agreements executed be-
tween the. state and the federal gov
ernmcnt, North Dakota is in fourth
place as to mileage (442 miles out of
9,54O); fifteenth place as to number
of projects (32 out of 1,2OD; $780,
600 out of $129,525,O00 estimated cost
and $5G5 900 federal aid involved out
of S55,422,OOO for all states.
In federal aid actually paid to the
states, North Dakota is in twentieth
place, about $175,000 having been
paid prior to Dec. 81, 1919.'
Commenting on the data, MIR. kaul-
fuss said:
at must be remembered that federal
aid projects in North Dakota involve
cost to date of less than $4,000 per
mile on the average, while other states
have federal projects costing as high
as $4,000 per mile.
"The showing OF the state is eSpe-
cially gratifying in view of the fact
that North Dakota had no state high
way department at all three years
ago." ,.o
More than 1000 miles of road have
been surveyed by the department with
in the past three years, accordihg u
recent announcement by State En-
ginncer w. II. Robinson.
