SEES ADVANCE step
FOR UNIVERSITY
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
COMMENDS HARVESTER PLANT
PURCHASE

w. ]. Hall, state commissioner of
public works, finished a two days
conference with university authOri-
ties last evening and left for Lewis
ton. The conference had to do largely
with the plans for the construction
of the new science building, and Mr..
Hall urged that work be started as
soon as possible. A portion Of the
money for the construction of the
building will be available immedi-
ately after the state board of equali-
zation makes the levy.
Mr. Hall inspected the present To-
cation of the college of engineering,
as well as the plant and buildings
recently purchased from the Idaho
Harvester company, and stated that
in his opinion the purchase of this
property was a fine forward step on
the part of the university authorities,
advancing the school several years
and giving the university an engineer
ing plant probably superior to that
of any other school in the north
west.
Mr.. Hall went to Lewiston for a
conference with timber operators in
the Weippe district, relative to pro-
viding funds for the maintenance of
the federal and state highway be-
tween Greer and Weippe. He was

5000 CARS ON
NEW BRIDGE IN
TWO FAIR DAYS
$50 Cars Crossed Bridge
Between 6 q. m. and IL
. Midnight on August 20

Nearly 5000 motor vehicles crossed
the North Dakota Liberty Memorial
Bridge between the hours Of 6 a. m.
and IL midnight each day on August
20 and 30. according to reports to the
state highway commission offices to-
day from Checkers"
On Wednesday 2,570 cars crossed
the bridge, Of which 1902 were east
bound and 1853 were west bound. A
hundred and fifty were foreign cars.
Seven hundred cars passed over the
bridge between 8 p. m. and midnight
on Wednesday.
On Thursday 2.029 cars crossed the
bridge, Of which $40 were east bound
and 1929 were west bound. OF this
number 1O2 were foreign cars.
Since the count did not include the
hours from midnight until 6 a. m.,
and there were many cars passing
after midnight, it is probable that
more than 5000 cars passed over tho
bridge on the two days Of the Mis-.
souri, Slope Fair.
The count made on August Fl, u
normal day., showed 1,06e vehicles
passing over the bridge. The greatest
day the old ferry ever had was Will
son day in Bismarck, when It, trans
ported 800 machines across the river.
