Ruthless extravagance of the Federal Government in practically Jumting millions of dollars’ worth cf equipment for which thousands of persons worked and bought Liberty bonds during the war, came to light today with the checktig up o the enormous amlount of unusable material dumped on the Indiana Stare highway commission. And the taxpayer pays the freight! Ho pays it to the extent of as much as a month. Tii-. taxpayers of Indiana paid freight to bring to this State fur the use of tho higuway dc; irtment a crane built for tho , purpose t f hauling down observation balloons. Ti taxpayers paid the freight on 7k.t* *> short her,die.l trench spades. The taxpayers paid the freight on three cars equipped with coal conveyors Tb* taxrajer* paid the freight on a carload of lanterns. ntKh.HT BILLS PILE LF. During a period of a littie over three weeks from March ti) April 19 vouchers of the State highway department show that to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company alone 5S, I J*i7.JS, was paid for D'-ight charges on surplus material from, the Unitei'l Siau-s i'epurtment of Agri-cu'tc-.j which originally formed a p*rt of American preparations fur war, whi' h the Federal Government is dump,ing on the Stare highway commission's in such quantities und varieties that it can never tv* used. During about s mouth that coincided with 'he o’f.'x ’ period of time the Ptittb highway commission paid the Big Four Railroad stf,l 4 *o.'Jo freight on surplus war materials. Those two railroads haadlo the bulk of the transportation of Government material for the conmiissiof) and It does not nil come from great distances. Iu less than one month’s time tSo corn* mission paid to file Vt-nnsyivanla and Big Four more' than .$15,000 freight charges and for' that particular period the total freight charges taking into consideration o'.hcr railroads was said to have approximated $20,000. SOVIK MATERIALS ARE I’EHDEEP. Os tho materials end equipment received, tho highway department has made use of what it. ran and, as charged by Frederick Van Nays recently, has disposed at private sale of some of th remainder. When George Bartley, superintendent of motor transport of the highway comtuissior,recelved an allotment of twelve thousand dozen spades and shovels, he thought the limit had been reached foe sending out unusuable material. One-half of the twelve thousand dozen spades were of the typo familiar to. veterans of the late World War as tho trench variety with a short handle. The short handled spades hare littie or no commercial value. The latest white elephant on Bartley’s hands came In this week with a tidy freight bill, for immediate payment, attached. It proved to be three freight cars loaded with coal conveyors. In reference to the sale of duck canvas, Governor McCray recently admitted he knew of its being sold as charged by Mr, Van Nuya. The money was turned into the highway fund tho (Governor said. An Indianapolis firm, Mr. Van Nays said had procured this material at such, a figure It could sell much cheaper than other Indianapolis Jobbing houses could buy It. This firm was found to bo the Indianapolis Tent and Awning Comp my. Officials of tho highway commission said thy were powerless to act in the matter of shipments of useless materials. They claimed the material available for pse justifies uaying freight charges oti unusable stuff.
