As will be seen by the above table, the New
York Central ultimately proposes TO build oo.5l
miles of new road, so as TO do away with
traekage rights thereby putting the entire trunk
line under one ownership, management and
operation.
Al present, during the peak of traffic move
ment, the Newberry Junction Gateway handles
6s000 carloads OF freight month, while the
normal average is Approximately $1,000 cars
month Ii the present rate of tonnage haddled
at Newberry Junction continues the rest OF the
year, 100000 tons OF freight will have passed
over this route during 1923.

In addition the New York Central asks for
a continuation of trackagc rights over the
Pennsylvania Railroad from Rose Siding to
Falls Creek, and from the latter point, over the
Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad to
Clear6cld, until owned lines can be constructed
The program also provides for temporary
traclage rights over the Pennsylvania Railroad
from Heating to Lock Haven, until an owned
line can be constructed This will provide a
low grade line between Clearfeld and Lock

Central has low grade line

Former Director Forbes Of

Washington, Oct. 24.-Principals of
the Thompson Black company loaned
$4,000 to Charles r. Forbes while he
was director Of the Veterans Bureau
at time when the company was seek
ing a contract for the construction of
government hospital, Elias H. Nor
timer of Philadelphia, former agent
of the company, testified today at the
senate investigation of the Veterans
Bureau.
Mortimer said he personally de-
livered the $4,000 to Forbes, at "a
party" in Chicago, and Forbes mere
ly thanked him for it.
II asked him for note for the
amount" the witness continued, "but
he Just laughed"
Questioned, Mortimer said Forbes
never had given him any record to
show for the Indebtedness nor had he
ever paid the loan. He added that he
had advanced money to Forbes at
other times but did not give the
amount.
Mortimer testified that he obtained
an advance OF $4,000 just before he
paid the money over with a view to
using the second $4,000 to pay the
expenses of trip he took with Mr..
Forbes to the Pacific Coast. He as
serted he did pay all of Mr.. Forbes
expenses except railroad fare which
was paid by the government
The "parties" described by the wit
ness took place; he said, from Febru
ary, 1922, and during this time he
continued Mr.. Forbes had conferences
with Mr.. Black and Mr.. Thompson
concerning contracts and promised
that their firm would be taken care
of in the letting of contracts over
which he claimed he had authority.
Officials of the company also were
given confidential list of the sites
where it was proposed to erect hos
pitals, Mortimer testified, and affsi
inspection they decided that they
would want to build the proposed
plant at Northampton, Mass, and SO
informed Mr.. Forbes. The directors
according to the witness, supplied
them with plans and specifications in
advance of this general distribution
to contractors. Mortimer said this
naturally gave his firm an advantage.

Elimination of G1ade Cross

ASK FOR FEDERAL AID
State Highway Commission
Requested to Proceed with
Plans For The Road
ASK FOR FEDERAL AID

Plans for changing the course of
the National Parks Highway for
distance for IL mills east OF Bis
naarck to eliminated four railroad
grade crossings were adopted by the
board of county commissioners in
meeting here late yesterday. 1t is
proposed to undertake the work,
probably early next gear in conjunc-
tion with the state highway COM
mission.
"A resolution was adopted providing
for the change from the east end OF
Main street, near she penitentiary.
The road would swing up through
the present touri't camp, avoid
crossing the N. p. main line, pass
close to the corner # the prison, and
strike the present Fed Trail again a
few hundred feet esst. The distance
is about one and one-tenth miles.
Two N. p. and one South 500 cross
ing would be awarded.
The Change was proposed by State
Engineer w. G. Back and Project
Engineer A. d. MeKinnon, and preli-
minary surveys are under way for
the change as psrt OF the plan OF
the United Estates Bureau of Public
Roads and the Stste Highway Com
mission for the el el,minstion of grade
crossings on PRIMARY highways
While no grade-trossing accidents
were reported Immediately east of
the city this yea. there have been
many close eecapss Of autoists.
Under the reso ution the county
commissioners request the state com-
mission to proceed with preparation

is grading ssly. The state

ADVERTISING
OF BONDS Is
NOT REQUIRED
May be Sold by City COmmis.
sion of Bismarck for Par
without Seeking Bids

The city of Bismarck may sell
bonds without first advertising for
bids, but must not sell them for less
than par, according to a decision
rendered by the Attorney Generals s
office. Asked whether or not the
city commission Of Bismarck, being
city Of over s4.000 population, may
sell $235,O00 worth Of bonds for the
purchase of water works., which
bonds have been regularly issued,
without first advertising for bids
Tor the sale thereof, the Attorney
Generals office by first Assistant
John Thorpe replied as follows:
In our opinion, the sale may be
made in such case without advertis-
ing for bids. Under Section 4014, be-
ing part Of Article Ia, of the Politi-
cal Code Of the Complied Laws of
1913, it is provided as follows:
"Any city in this state
may incur bonded indebtedness
for the purpose of putting
in water works, etc"
1t is thereupon provided in Section
4O15 of the same Article as follows:
"The bonds voted as provided
for in this ARTICLE shall be sold
at not less than par value"
The two sections constitute the
whole of said Article IA. 1t will
therefore, be seen that no advertis.
ing is required under those sections
We are not unmindful Of House
Bill No., 1870. Session Laws 1928
which provides that
SO no city shall
sell - any issue of it's bonds
for whatever purpose issued
without first advertising for
bids"
The foregoing is contained in Sec.
tion of said Act. However, in Sec
ton 6 of the same Act is found the
following provisions:
"The provisions of this Act shall
not apply to sales of bonds issued by
- cities of over four thousand
population -. Therefore, none Of
the provisions of said House Bill No
1870 apply to the City of Bismarck
it being city of over four thousand
population, and that being true, said
Sections 4Ol5 is not in conflict with
said House Bill No. 1870. SO far as
the same applies to cities of ovel
four thousand population, and Is
therefore, not repealed. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that such
bonds must not be sold at less thar
