COUNTY'S SHARE OF ELY-M'C|LL
PAVING TO Be ONE-F|FTH Of TOTAL

One-fifth of the total cost of paw
ing the Lincoln highway between Ely
and McGiil will be paid by the coun-
ty. the other four-fifths By the fed
eral and state governments.
If the contract price for the paw
ing is $3.50, 900, for example. and to
this is added 10 per cent b. the gov
crnment to cover extrac that crop up
in nearly every contract, and to that
total the state highway departments
fixed charge of 12 1-2 pc. cent Is
added, bringing the total cost up to
$433, 25 for the completed road. the
county does not pay the additional
$S3,125 in addition to its $4,000
share of the contract cost, but only
one-fifth of the entire sum, making
its total outlay $S6,625.
This is the explanation furnished
to the White Pine News by the state
| highway department. II. NJ. 10y, as
sistant state highway engineer, die
tated the following statement in ex
planation:
The situation is that when con-
/ tract is let and the payment to the
contractor calls for $350,000, for
instance, for actual work. the gov
ernment will participate in items
which it may have been impossible
! to foresee at the time OF letting the
contract or preparing the plans,
such as suppose a spring were en-
eountered in the right OF way and
for the proper construction of the
road and to preserve its life, extras,
II you like to call them that, such
. as crop in every contract. would
have to be taken care of. In This
the government will participate to
the extent Of 10 er cent of the con
, tract price, I
! The state highway department,
( for the general work required in
connection with tnis project, fig

This on the example We have he
fore US would bring the total cost

actual cost Of building the rcd. rccah.
and on that basis the county would

shown, to pay only one fifth of the
entire cost, or sS6,625. for which
it would receive In return a Sab

In other words, tho county pays
only one-ffth OF the 10 per cent
and the 121s per cent.
! Or, if the county paved the road.
as was suggested recently in a local
publication in a statement attributed
to Chairman Clark The cost to White
Pine county taxpayers would be the
contract price Of s350,000, the cost
of extras here estimated at 10 per
cent, and The engineering and super
vision costs charged for by the state
at 12R per cent, or a total of S453,-

after paying other rond costs for

be raised in case of the paving cost.

Belle isle is a rocky islet jutting out
Of the Bay Of Biscay off the Brittany
coast. While Belle isle is but ten miles
from shore, the water Is so rough that
few people care to risk the passage.
The Bay of Biscay has always been
the dread Of mariners because of the
high tides, fierce currents and danger
Gus reefs.
Belle isle was inhabited from early
times, for the remains of rock struc-
lures made by the Druids are numer-
Gus. Later the Romans occupied it as
an outpost of their empire Then it
was held for a long time by a Catho-
lie monastery. In 1851 the British cap
tured the island, after a long siege
but it went back to France soon after.
Napoleon started to fortify Belle isle.
but never finished the job. Dumas, in
"The Three Musketeers," tells how the
gigantic Porthos labored with the
great rocks used for the earlier foun-
dations
