REQUESTS FOR
1924 HIGHWAY
WORK GROWING
Already Call For More Than
$2,OOO,OOO of State-Tederal
Aid Work in N. d.
HIGHWAY BODY MEETS
No Refund on Automobile
Licenses, 1t Is Decided by
The Commissioners
HIGHWAY BODY MEETS

Requests made for -fede ra
highway work in 1924 already hav
far exceeded expectations, w.
Black, chief engineer of the highwa.
commission said today. Requests TO
| road work now include 513 miles o
road grading and LAG miles of grave
lsurfacing, which would entail an ex
penditure of over s2,OOO,0OO, an,
would be far beyond the amount o
work proposed up to this time of yea
in any preceding year.
Among the activities of the high
way commission in the near futur,
will be the publication of new am
complete road map showing all of tn,
states highways, the placing of sign.
on all important state highways
which will be designated by numbe,
and the issuance of a bulletin once 9
month telling of read activities ir
the state.
1t has been found necessary to un.
dertake the marking of trails in the
state because of the inaccurate and
incomplete marking which has beer
done by many organizations, it was
stated by the chief engineer.
The highway commission, in meet.
ing here, passed a resolution provid.
ing that money might be advanced
from the state fund to pay contrac-
tors money due from the federal
government for road work, the state
fund to be reimbursed when federal
funds are available. This action was
taken, it was explained. because it Of
ten takes contractors two to three
months to get vouchers through gov
ernment sources and often causes
them to borrow money. They accord
ingly allow for the delay and ex-
pcnse by increasing their bids, it was
added.
A new rule with respect to the Mo-
tor Vehicle Department also was
made. There will be no refund on
motor vehicle licenses in the future.
Heretofore it has been the practice,
when the owner Of an automobile
moved to another state or his car
passed out Of existence, to make a
refund on the license. The highway
commission, it was said, feels that
the North Dakota license is now SO
small as compared with other states
that no refund should be made.
Bids for automobile tags for 1924
were received from four firms and
the contract let to the Western Dis
play and Manufacturing Company of
St. Paul, at II 81 cents per sign, the
low bid. The total cost ia estimated
at $13,1O0.
Requests from Grand Forks, Burke
and Walsh counties for state aid in
construction of fedcral-state high
ways to cost total Of $65,000 were
approved.

Reads Their Sorrow

Reads Their Sorrow
Mingled with their sorrow, the si-,
lent, bareheadcd people felt the ut.
most sympathy for the bravely calm
woman who rides with her dead in
the last car of the train. The hur-
riedly passing train gave them no op-
portunity to express their sympathies
in words, but Mrs. Harding read il
in their faces. 1t gave her strength
in this hour Of sorrow but It also
was constant reminder, even thougl
she needed, of her great loss. Mrs
Harding continued to boar up well
under the strain and was still as de.
termined as she was on the evening
of the Presidents death that
she couldn't break down. She
retired early last night temporarily
exhausted by the ordeal Of the day.
Body Guarded
While she sought sleep the silent
groups watched the passing
of the train. When San Frar.isco
had paid its last respects other towns
and cities along the route took up
the task. Burlingame, San Mateo.
Redwood City, Tracy, Stockton, Niles
and others continued the tribute
which began at the Golden Gate. The
coming Of darkness seemed to make
no difference and thousands stood
along the track at Stockton as the
train crept slowly through the city
All was quiet during the night. Thele
was only the clicking of the car
wheels as the train sped on. Tbe
only movement was the houry
change in the guard of honor beside
the flag-draped coffin in the last caf.
Each hour two soldiers, a sailor ar
marine made their way quietiy
through the train to the last ca.
Soon afterwards the guard made il
way back.
