FOR 1852 MILES

Highway Department Chief
Says Federal Money Was
Codsend to Program

Contracts for q total Of 1852 miles
of road construction work In North
Dakota were awarded In 1888 at q to-
tai cost Of $685. 79.22. according to
figures compiled by the state high
way department.
This work, awarded at eight con-
tract lettings during the year. includes
SIS miles gravel surfacing, 1873 miles
regraveling, 397 miles earth grade. So
miles oil-mix, 1.708 miles paving and
seven special structures.
Construction work completed dur
Ing the year totaled .407 miles in 1898
and approximately the same in 1882.
Frank vogel. highway commission
er, reported that on Dec. 81. 1882, the
highway department had under con-
tract and rot completed l,l65 miles
o. construction work. "As many Of
these contracts were let late In the
fall. no work could be done on them
until the 1883 season opened" he
said.
Tho outlook for employment on
road work In North Dakota was very
cark until the passage Of the indus
trial recovery act by the last con-
zress. Vogel reported.
State Funds Diverted
A program Of work mapped out In
December, 1882, for the next year was
based on the assumption that auto
mobile license money and gasoline tax
money would be available for highway
york. "But We failed to reckon with
the legislature" vogel said. AFTER
thA assembly adjourned we found the
program was apparently . mere scrap
Of paper, for our construction fund

pressing maintenance work and to
provide supervision for the projects let
to contract and unfinished. together
With . few projects that could be IL
nanced from q small balance Of the

However. the industrial recovery
act provided an allotment Of 400 mil

the y. s. bureau Of public roads,
North Dakota's share being $500, 448
Ia addition to 463,730 allotted for

weeks of struggle against terrorism,
with two of their main demands

The 80 cents an hour wage scale

the strikers were fighting will be

overwhelmingly rejecting the pro-
