The bodies Of Anderson and Detec-

Neither local police nor secret

THREE MILLION
1925 NEED FOR
HIGHWAY WORK
Next Years Plan Calls For
6l2 Miles Grading and 499
Miles Crawling

Over $4,000, 10000 will be required
to finance the construction program
of the State Highway Department
for next year, according TO the last
monthly report submitted to the
State Highway Commission by A. ID.
Nckinnon, project engineer. Up to
Oct. 18th, the Highway Department
had received requests from the vari-
Gus counties Of the state for federal
aid for grading Gl2 miles and for the
crawling Of 400 miles, the larger
portion Of which calls for 1926 con-
struction though some of the work
on the earlier applications was COM
menced this year.
OF the total Of G12 miles to be
graded, Mckinnon estimates that the
average cost for grading 500 miles
will be 100000 per mile and the
remainder at 81 10000, making a to-
tai expense of 81 SAB 100000 for grad
ing. Likewise, 500 miles of gravel
surfacing will cost sl,000,0O0.00 or
100000 per mile on the average.
This makes grand total for road con-
structon of S2,94S, 100000 for federal
aid projects already in the Depart
mcnt.
More Applications Expected
it is anticipated that other applica-
tions for federal aid will be made
in the near future which will bring
the construction cost in excess of
the three million dollar mark before
the close of the year. According to
preliminary estimates made as to the
availability of federal aid funds for
1926 construction, it is the opinion
of a number of the Highway Depart
ment heads that it has pretty nearly
reached the nigh mark or limit. For
that reason. counties which may be
slow in getting in their requests for
federal aid may discover to their sor-
row that they will be obliged to wait
for another year before any construc-
ton work can be undertaken on their
projects.
Can Do Work Cheaper
The report also shows that 334
miles of new federal aid projects
were surveyed up to Oct. 18th at a
total cost of S12,735.00 or an aver
age cost of $3S.lS per mile which is
an extremely low figure for this
class of work. 1t proves that the
Highway Department can now do the
work more cheaply than heretofore
and at much lower cost than when
the survey work was let out to pri-
vate engineers who usually received
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile for
their services.

800 CHICAGO
POLICEMEN IN
GRAFT CHARGE
Attorney Produces Records
Purporting to Show
Amounts of Money Paid

Chicago, Nov. 3.-(P)-Charges of
graft involving 800 policemen and
payments Of $4,000 month have
been made by Patrick II. ODonnell,
attorney for two members Of the
Genna Gang, leaders Of an alcohol
ring on trial for killing two police
men last June.
He offered as evidence to prove his
charges records which, he said,
showed each policeman's star num-
Der opposite the amount paid him.
Barred from introducing the evidence
in the murder trial as irrelevant,
O'Donnell said he would give his in
formation to the federal government.
Some Of the policemen took their
pay in alcohol from the l5 plants con-
trolled by the Gennas in Easements
and tenant rooms on the west side,
and bootIegged it themselves, declar-
cd O'Donnell.
The charges we're made, the lawyer
said, in an attempt to show that
"most cordial business and personal
relations" existed between the gang
and the police and that Genna and
his henchmen would not have at
tempted to kill any Of them.

ROAD IS PUT
IN CONDITION
FOR TRAVEL
Paving to Penitcntiary Can
rot BE Ecnc This Winter
Even If Court Permits

The Red Trail between Bismarck
and the state penitcntiary, which was
partially torn up few weeks ago
by employees of the Haggart Construc-
ton company of Fargo, is now being
smoothed over and put in shape so
that it can be Travelled this winter.
In the meantime traffic has been de-
toured over another road.
The Haggart company began
work on this project on a contract
which il claimed to hold calling for
paving this piece of road. Patrick
Sullivan. Bismarck taxpayer, start
ed injunction proceedings to prevent
the carrying on of the work and the
state highway department and the
construction company have since
agreed on temporary order stop
ping further work until the validity
of the contact is determined in court.
1t will now be obviously impos sible
to lay the pavement this winter. even
if the court rules in favor Of the
Haggart company, and consequently
the road is being placed in condition
for winter use.
