Federal Road Aid
Fails to Fill Demand,

Requests for more than SIS 600. 600
of immediate road improvements have
been received by the State Highway
department from cities, counties and
other local groups throughout the state
which are seeking to share in the
s10,000,000 of Federal money allotted
to Minnesota for highway work.
1T can be easily seen from this that
the S10,000,000 is not going to meet all
demands" said N w Elsberg, highway
commissioner. Most of the improve
mentS being urged on the department
are practical and highly desirable, but
much more money than is now avail
able will be required to finance the
work.
In 1892 more than $4,000 900 was
spent for construction by the Highway
Department, and in 1881 nearly s24,-
100000, so that the $4,000, 600 allows
only a comparatively small margin.
Owing to reduced motor vehicle taxes,
the state has no funds to add to the
Federal grant, as it would have had
otherwise.
The Highway Department is follow
ing Federal regulations in apportioning
the s10,00O,000 through the state"

LOCAL LABOR
ROAD PROGRAM
Labor on Federal Fund Road
Work Will be Done by
County Residents.

Labor to be employed on the states
s10,0O0,0O0 Federal fund highway pro-
gram will be taken largely from the
counties in which work is to be done,
and will not be hired by the State
Highway department, according to N.
w. Elsberg, state highway commits
sioner.
Hundreds of persons have made ap-
plications to the Highway department
for jobs in the past few days, ap-
parently thinking that the department
will be in charge of employment. Mr..
Elsberg explained.
Federal regulations governing the
work say that the United States EN-
ployment Service in each state will
designate agencies to prepare lists of
skilled and unskilled labor for each
highway project" he said.
1T is our understanding that when
a contract is let in a certain county,
the U. s. Employment Service will
select some existing relief or employ
ment agency in that county and have
it supply list of available workers to
the contractor. The contractor will
select his men from this list.
Federal regulations contain this
clause: The requiremnts for prefer
ence in employment will not permit a
contractor to carry with him skilled
or unskilled laborerS to any project
unless they are ex-service men with
dependents
War veterans with dependents are
specifically designated as first choice
for jobs. Next in preference are resi-
dents of the city or county in which
work is to be done, and third in order
are residents of the state not living in
the county where work Is located"
The regulations also provide that the
State Highway department shall do one
representative construction project by
direct labor, in order to provide a
comparison with contract work in cost
and efficiency.
In general, the contractors viii be
required to use hand labor where it
does not interfere with sound econ
omy and public interest. Any con-
tractors who violate the Federal regu-
lations will be barred from further
participation in the emergency road
work.
First projects under the emergency
program are expected to get under way
in August.

of equalization of ST. Louis county
which held its first meeting in the
county board room
The board, however, upon organizing
found it had no business facing it and
recessed for two weeks. j. C. Helm,

time in years that no protests against
real estate, personal property and
money and credits assessments awaited
the equalization board.
The board will remain in session for
about six weeks to review personal
property assessments and such real

since May 1, 1882.
The Minnesota tax commission placed

developed mental disease prior to Jan.
l, 1925. Another group of about 5000
are veterans who developed certain
chronic and constitutional diseases a
short time after discharge and who,
therefore, were extended the benefits
of presumptive service connection. The
total as above analysed is 108, 900, but
reductions must be made of misconduct

the Armistice. The "presumptives'
have had service connection extended
to them for more than ten years., with
corresponding compensation. Most Of
them cannot hold regular employment
and are dependent upon pensions for
existence.

TO DECIDE fate OF
THOUSAND EACH day
Neopenng OF Cases of Presuntfves Half of the 100000
OF Which are Veterans Discharged With Average
Of so Per Cent Disability

One OF the humane services which
the American Legion rendered both
the country and disabled veterans In
the closing days of the special ses-
sion of congress in June was to obtain
review Of the cases of so-caIled
'presumptives," after they had been
wiped out en- masse by the original
regulations. These reviews viii now
be going forward with dispatch upon
the confirmation to the boards by the
president upon his return to Washing
ton.
The Legion announces that it is
estimated there are 100000 of these
cases. The average degree of disa-
bility is about so per cent. with about
20 per cent totally unable to earn q
livelihood. Half of the 100000 are
veterans who were discharged from the
war service with disabilities. No no.
tation of such disabilities had been
made upon their records when they
were drafted or enlisted. When dis
charged. however, after the war, the
army doctors, without proof, assumed
that their disabilities existed before
entry into service, and expressed such
opinion on the service records. In
order to give this group service con-
neetion. the World War Veterans Act
enow repealed presumed" they were
sound upon entry in the service where
no proof to the contrary existed.
Another group, about 1900, are vet
Grams who developed tuberculosis prior
to jan l, 1925, the average date of
inception Of the disease being about
three years after discharge. Another
