", n ot complied with, and Treas
urer Hamilton continue:, to act as
paymaster. Some of the banks, ae-
eorning to tho story don’t like this

be kicking about it. But behind the
reentry is the fact that sc/mewhero
around eight million dollars of de
partment debt, principally to Conn
ie is in rapid process of being
cleared up. and during the first
quarter of the coming year, the high
way department debts wfll be paid.
Few Concrete Rend*
According to one of the big
cement officials, there isn’t going to
be very much concrete paving done
out of the ten million dollars relief
fund from the federal government
for road work.. The distribution pro-
rjions are that the money be spent
in throe classifications, and spread
into 75 per cent of the counties
of the state. A good many roads
will be graded and surface treated,
and some substantial bridge?, will be
constructed—of concrete—but the
cement people, whose business it is
to keep posted, look for not more
than 100 miles of concrete paving,
if there is that much. There isn’t
d>tr'bution of Itfmp sums in coun
ties sufficient for concrete to any
extent
Women for CongreM
If the League of Women Voters

the next congressional campaign.
Their plan is to make a scriousi try

Besides the taxes for the current
year, there stands on the state rec
ords approximately two and a half
million of unpaid taxes of previous
years. Under the present anpropria-
tion law, all appropriations for 1938
have to be paid only proportionately
to the revenue taken in, and the en

On at least two sides of the state
the legal sale of liquors, under state

problem of state regulation and con

"Modification" looks like an immin

that basis each county in the state
will bo called on to make up its own
