$44O.OOO, Paid Out Of
 Highway Fund

l ilC OCoIC AAiSAWo oJ A>NP@NA ment, during the nine months ending December 3lst., 1919, distributed in actual money a tctal of $440.000 of state aid among the various projects un- der construction in the State This is in addition to $50 GOO of the State Highway funds appro- priated to the purpose of the General Assembly of which pro- vision is made for the return of $2O 900. This amount or nearly half a million dollars, was paid out on estimates of roads actually constructed orunder construction.
 The available funds for State aid are practically exhausted at th!s time. There is still due about $75.000 from Collectors throughout the State and an ap- peal has been made to them to make these payments as quickly $ possible, that the work may not be hampered.
 The regular session of 1919 ap- propriated $950 900 for the ensu ing biennial period. It will 3D. pear that more than half Of this has been expended in the first nine months. However, the new fuuds will begin to be available on April 1st, at which time the Collectors will be called upon for the amounts they may have In- 5pectors are now III the tieid. making inspections of various proce ts, so that the probable amounts to be called for may be known
 A comparatively small amount of F deral funds are paid out during the year 1919 because Federal funds are paid only for. surfacing and only a few of the projects were ready for this part of the work. There is available a total of abuut three million dol lars in the Federal fund and the greater part of this will be paid on Arkansas projects during the year 1920, so that it is apparent that more Federal funds will come into the state during this year than in all the proceeding years combined.
 Turing the biennial period just closed actual contracts were let for 4.O00 miles of road, involving an expenditure of approximately fifty million dollars. The mile age IS under provisions of special act and the Alexander Law. Ca!vln Walker returned Tues day from Iexarkana where he has ueen with his brother Char. les who underwent an operation there Monday.

 At no place will the grade ex- ceed five feet in each hundred feetof elevation.
 T. E. Mosley, Secretary of Road District No. foEr writes the fo.- lowing interesting news about the work on that Road.
 The road between Saline River and Moro Creek is now under was of construction. J. w. Gov ington of Benton the contractor thas been on the sob for past two months and has done quite a lot work, he now has about 20 teams between Kingsland and Moro, and about 20 teams besween Kings land and Saline river, but owing to the recent excessive rains the grading has been delayed some yet about one half of the grading to be done with teams is now com pleted. The bridge through Sa line bottom is now under way of construction and being built as fast as the weather conditions will permit,
 The contractor has a bridge c ,ew of considerable experience and thereby we are getting a good bridge buiItaccording to the Government requirements, and the bridge has all ready been about, 300 feet or more. There is also a special concrete man on the job putting in con- crete butments at the end of each dump and for each bridge. 1 The concrete tile has been dis. | tributed along the road at the
 places needed, and where the grading has been done the tileing
 has been placed, necessary for
 the drainage of the road. | The contractor expects to be
 ready for the gravel in the next t60 days if the weather conditions will permit at which time they
 they expect to begin spreadi g and rolling the gravel.
 The gravel viii be shipped here from Bearden gravel pit, which
 is of excellent quality and will make road that will stand the
 test of hacd sofvlce.

ITALIAN RAIL WORKERS
DETERMINED TO STRIKE

ROME, Jan. 12.-During the past
twenty-fouro hours signs have multi
piled that railroad workers are deter
mined to carry out their threat to
strike unless the government accepts
their demads. 1t was officially an
nounced that the majority of the de-
mands were unacceptable to the gov
ernment, especially the new scale of
wages, entailing an additional burden
of nearly $7OO,OOO,O00, thus bringing
the railway deficit to well over 81 ,OOO,-
600, 600, which would have to be borne
by the public.
Following the cabinet meeting, it
was announced that the government
was preoccupied with the internal sit
uation resulting from the many agi-
tations which are now in progress. 1t
was feared the extremists would seize
this occasion to start a great strike
for plunging the ignorant masses into
bloody conflict.

WOOLLEY FORESEES
FREIGHT RATE RAISE
Interstate Commerce Commits

Copyright. isse
BY n l. GOLDBERG.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Robert w. Woolley declares that the
return of the railroads to private con-
troll at the time now scheduled March
]. Will result in a substantial increase
In the present high cost of living,N as
IL will mean increased freight rates.
Commissioner woolley says he Is
informed, from reliable sources, that
the railroad presidents have decided
to ask for general increase. He
figures that the proposed Increase in
rates. IL IL goes into effect, viii cost
consumers In the United States, S4,-
375.OOO.00O. and increase the family
budget of the United States some
thing like S215 per year per family.
Commissioner Woolley was instru-
mental in having tho President com
mandeer the roads at the time he did,
December 81, 1917. His statement of
the situation is. in part. as follows:
"The railroad executives are pre-
pared to file application for a general
increase In freight rates. I am in
formed that the measure of the in-
crease will be at least % per cent. A
few days ago an official OF one OF the
leading New England lines said that
the increase in New England would
have TO be as much as 80 per cent.
baseu upon 1910 lreiBnt rece'ptS,
e5 per cent increase woxhd mean ss75,-
900. 900 additional, which the shippers
would have to pay annually. But the
shipper passes this along to the con-
sumer.
"Only a few days ago the vice pres
idcnt OF one of the principal railroads
in the country walked into my office
and introduced himself to me. He
said he was opposed to Government
ownership of railroads, and that he
thought the one way TO prevent Gov
crnment ownership by January i,
1921. was for Federal control to con-
tinue until VIC arc well over tho
shoals OF reconstruction. He said
that whereas on October I. 1917. the
freight car shortage had been $4,000
cars. it was only about $1,000 in oc-
tober, 1919"
