BULK OF ROAD MONEYS
SPENT ON ACTUAL WORK
Figures Show About s Cents of
Trunk Highway Dollar
Spent for Overhead

Minnesota highway department
overhead expenses are taking only
slightly over five per cent Of the
trunk highway funds, compared to
the Z per cent average in other states.
General administration, surveying,
engineering, superintendent - ev-
from rent of the new head
quarters building in St. Paul to the
wages of the survey party cooks
covered by the figure which further
establishes the economy with which
the department is managed. Admin
istration costs, which include the sal
aries of executives and headquarters
and many field employees, rental and
other general office expenses, are
more than covered by the annual fund
of $4,000, less than 1k per cent
of the business volume. Engineering
and superintendent accounts for the
big part Of the remaining a per cent.
The figures from: the official rec
ords are given this week in bulle-
tin from the. state highway depart
ment in answer to inquiries follow
ing revival of unfounded reports
that comparatively little road money
was. going on the roads. They show
that nearly IS cents out of every
trunk highway dollar goes into road
betterments and the rest for engi-
neering and other necessary items.
J. T. Ellison, assistant highway
commissioner, said that the Mime
sofa showing is among the most IA
vorable in comparison with those OF
other states. While the Minnesota
overhead aggregates little more
than s. per cent, he said, that on
maintenance is but 31k per cent, and
for new construction is about 6 per
cent, or less than the general aver
age for other states. All expenses
except amounts paid to contractors
are included in construction over

tenance item embraces everything
except the wages of the patromen

Statistician Indicates Several
Factors Responsible for
Slowness of Recovery
BUILDING AND AUTO
INDUSTRIES ACTIVE
Babson Says There 10, Still L
Real Connection Between
Religion and Business

Wellesley Hills, Mass, June o.
Rogers w. Babson, the statitician,
today indicated several of the fac
tors which are responsible for the
slowness of business recovery.
"The floods still continue to troub-
lie the Southwest" said Mr.. Babson.
"Nearly four millions acres Of land
are said to be submerged. This tends
to delay planting as we'll as to inter-
fere with transportation and general
buying. With the exception Of this
flood situation and the lateness' OF
spring, the crops are coming along
very well. A little scare in the case
of cotton will do no harm. Scares
do not affect crops but only straight
en- prices and make for business &C.
tivity.
"The four industries which are the
most active at the present time are
the building industries, railroad
equipment, public works, and auto
mobile manufacturing. They are all
industries of fundamental nature.
Not only is development of these in
dustries giving temporary employ
ment, but they provide permanent
and productive capital for the coun-
try. This is especially true in the
first three instances: building, rail-
road equipment and public works.
every hopeful reports come from
the Michigan district. Mines which
have not been opened for year or
two are now running on full time.
Thousands Of men in the mining Sec
tons are now going back to work,
and the whole Michigan district,
looks more prosperous. Although the.
copper situation is sti very fat, IL
is like man flat on his back. There
is only one way he can look and that
is upward. Michigan, during the
next two years is apt to be a very
busy state. T.,
"rhe mill situation in New Eng
land is upset. Thousands Of peoplet
are still out on strikes. Although
both sides claim decided advantages,
statistics are rather in favor of the
employers. 1t is believed that a cut
is inevitable, and it is only ques-
ton of what the cut will be. When
the mills are opened, wage rcduc-
tions will run from 10 to 20 per
cent; although these reductions will
do little good unless tho workers
feel right and are happy. As'some
mills reopen, they will reopen on an
opcn-shop plan, although l believe
! that in many instances these manu-
facturcrs will go back again and deal
with the union as soon as business
becomes good and help scarce.'@''; ~
"Wage reductions apply not only
to the textile industries but to the
shoe Industries, and in some cases to-
the building industries. The Struc-
tural Iron and Steel Workers, Union
in Syracuse, N. Y, have recently &C
copied a wage scale Of dollar an
hour for all work. l emphasize that
these labor conficts-whichever side
is to blamc-are the one important
factor preventing business from COM
ing back to normal. Both profits and
