ties Have Spent Immense
s,,t

The state engineering department
found that during the last 10 years,
in North Dakota, there has been ex.
pended by towns and counties. .On
roads and bridges the vast sum of
$25, 100000.
This is important when it is con-
.sidered that the proposed bond issue
asked for highway purposes, to coyer
20 years, is only s15.000,00O.
Where did the money go? The
roads and bridges of the state do not
show that it has been either economi-
cally or wisely expended. The state
Good Roads association hopes for bet
ter results in the future
M Big Mileage
There are, according to the assist
ant state engineer, J. E. kaulfus, sey-
enty thousand miles of public roads IN
North Dakota-One-thirtieth of the
entire mileage of the roads in the
United states. This mileage is equal
to nearly three times the circumfer-
ence Of the earth, comprising $780,
900 acres, or S15 square miles. The
rights of way constitute about one
ninetieth to the states entire area,
equal to LOO average farms in North
Dakota
at s25 per acre, the rights of way
are worth $14,000,O00. If sown to
wheat with a resultant crop, of 13
bushels to the acre, the crop would be
worth s16,3S0000.

CLEAN UP WEEK
d., .r... r
STARTS TODAY,
MANY ARE BUSY
Burning Weeds, Raking Lawns
and Other Signs of Activ-
ity in Evidence

Burning weeds, raked lawns. clean
ing Of backwards and alleys marked
the first day of Bismarck's clean up
drive which started this morning. In
all parts of the city were people TAX
ing an active part in making the clean
up campaign success and it is hoped
by the end of the week that all of the
unsightly places. both in the business
and residential sections, will be clean
ed up.
Every person .in the city, whether
they own the house they live in or
merely rent it, is urged to take an
active part in the cleanup campaign.
The back yards should be cleaned of
the refuse accumulated during the
long winter months and the front
yards should be raked up of all litter
and wherever possible planted to
shrubbery, flowers, grass and even
trees.
"We want to make Bismarck a real
ly beautiful city in every respect and
one of the first requirements is prop
erly cared for grounds in the residen-
tial section said George N. Keniston,
secretary of the Commercial club to-
day. During the winter a certain
amount of rubbish always accumulates
much to the detriment Of the city's
appearance This accumulation
should be destroyed and removed this
week"
"a special effort should be made by
property owners to beautify the boule-
wards in the residential DISTRICT said
A. w. Lucas. president of the city
commission "All weeds should be de-
stroyed by fire and the ground planted
in grass and trees put in wherever
possible The condition and appear
ance of our boulevards are direct re-
Election on the inhabitants Of our city.
Let us make that impression very
favorable one"

HALLIDAY FIRST
TO WALK PLANK;
QUITS N D BANK
Was Director of Publicity and
Statistics and Waters
Chief Assistant
RESERVATIONS EXPECTED
Several Close Friends of Former
Manager Believed to be
Slated for Vacation

RumOrs Of the resignation of Roy
Halliday, director OF audits and statis'
tics Of the Bank Of North Dakota from
the time the bank was started up to
October Is and director of publicity
and statistics since that time, which
have persisted ever since J. r. Waters
resigned as manager of the bank
materialized last week.
Mr.. Halliday, who was generally
considered Manager Waters chief
lieutenant at the bank. had been &C.
tive in the banks formation and held
several important positions in the or
ganization Lately. however,. Halli
day had been stripped of his various
duties one by one until up to the time
of his resignation. which went into
effect last week, he had practically
nothing to do.
One of the main reasons why Halli.
day resigned, it is said. is because OF
friction with Director General F. w
Cathro. Halliday's resignation is the
first post of Importance to be desert.
ed following the resignation of Man
ager Waters and several more are
momentarily expected.
1t is understood that another posi-
ton with the state administration will
be offered Halliday. One rumor to-
day had it that Halliday was to join
the workmen's compensation bureaus
force, but this was denied at the bu
reau this morning. There were rum
ors last week that Halliday was to be
given the secretaryship of the home
builders association, but this could
not be confirmed today.
No appointment to the positions
which Halliday is supposed to have
held has been made and it is expected
that the work will be taken over by
present employees of the bank, thereby
reducing the payrool to certain ex
tent SO that farmers who support the
Nonpartisan league will not think
that the banks expenditures are ex
cessive.
