state highways than at any time In department history. Reduction in coot of material, labor and equipment was given ax the reason for the department'* unexpended balance. The commissioners planned to spend $500,000 on bridge construction. which will mean erection of thirty-five small atructures In various parts of the state. It was announced that more than 600 miles of high grade rigid type pavement will be laid, which will be 100 miles more than the previous largest program. Bids have been received on forty touring cars for field men and bids for thirty more were opened Thursday. The department also is planning purchase of trucks so that the motor equipment will be replaced mostly by the close of the season. Still they have a hard time spending all that money, bids for work being so much below the engineer's estimate due to the fall in prices. Simpson's report showed that on May 1, the department s general expenditures were $389,281.65 and maintenance $561,986.83, less than was estimated. This will be absorbed by the purchase of new equipment, he said. Where the money goes also is set out in the report. Allotment of $20,020,928 has been made for construction projects this

season. Road construction takes $11,824,902 on the following milages: Hsrh tree ipriariaaUj eoncret*' 44f.il milt*. h*t*v readme f?.S2 mile* and heave raaurfartnt 14 *> mile*.

H. Hubbard of the Texas State College for Women is of the opinion the scarcity of positions to- ; day is not entirely due to the depression. The machine-age has lessened the amount of work, he i said in a lecture here recently.
