STATE OFFICIAL ORDERS RELEASE OF ROM FUNDS Money Held by Counties Under Three-Mile Road Law May be Used. INDIANAPOLIS, July 2 Between

$5,000,000 and $7,000,000 of funds held in counties throughout the state for the construction of roads and bridges, under the three-mile road law. will be released for the building of roads through a communication pent out Monday to all county attorneys, auditors and commissioners of the state by Gilbert H. Hendren, state examiner of the state board of accounts. Wartime conditions and the embargo on the hauling of crushed stone and gravel, practically has stopped the construction of roads. Funds amounting to more than $5,000,000, which will possibly reach $7,000,000 in the opinion of Mr. Hendren, have been raised by bond issues and are standing idle. The counties are drawing 2 per cent interest from banks and are paying 4 1-2 per cent on the bonds. A large part of this" money can not be used for the reason that the specific material named in the specifications Is not available on account of government shipping orders. The

three-mile law does not provide forj

tne substitution or material. Tne communication of Mr. Hendren, which has the approval of Governor Goodrich, Otto L. Klauss, auditor of state, and M. E. Foley, chairman of the state council of defense, grants permission for the substitution of materials, if it is done in the manner suggested by Mr. Hendren. New Estimates Demanded. To avoid legal complication a new estimate will be made, but it must be made by the engineer and viewers who made the original estimate and with the approval of the present county commissioners and county attorney.

The price of the substitute material j will be based on the price of the ma-;

terlal at the time that the contract for the construction of the road was let The new and the old specifications must be sent to the office of Mr. Hendren to be inspected by a member of the engineering faculty of Purdue University, delegated by President W. E. Stone. In discussing his action In the matter, Mr. Hendren said: "Great benefit will accrue to the farmer, the people of the state and those holding con

tracts fof the construction of the roads. Many of the roads were started before the embargo was placed on road materials, and It has been impossible to continue with the work.. Now, if the specifications call for crushed stone, and ' only gravel is available in the community the road can be completed. Contractors have part of their money tied up and can not get It until the completion of the road. '.'This winter, when, roads are. impassable unless they are permanently improved, farmers will be able to haul their grain to market, when the government calls for It. The government consequently, will not be hampered, and the farmer will be able to haul his products without the use of six horses. I doubt if the grain could be moved even with that number of horses on some of the roads now."

On The Screen

MURRAY .If you saw Theda Bara i In "Under Two Flags" and t'Carmen." you will recall' how delightfully alluring she was In the sympathetic roles of those pictures. If you did not see her In those two tremendous productions, you will be interested, I'm sure, by the announcement that in her latest picture, a Theda Bara super- produc

tion, "Under the Yoke," she portray a character entirely different from those she has impersonated in the past. - I The picture, which relates a throbbing story of the Philippines in the early days : ot American occupation, will begin a run on Wednesday at the Murray Theatre. In this picture, which is the greatest Miss Bara has yet enacted, she appears as a sweet and charming Spanish girl in love with an American army officer, and does it in such a sympathetically appealing manner that you will marvel at her versatility, '' ".
