And much of this area has been devastated by poor grazing practices, he says. He pictures large parts of Africa, Spain, Greece, India and Palestine as wrecked by such pracOces. In the United States he estimates that existing range is producing at only 52 per cent of its original canacity and that 55 per cent of the range has less than half of its former capacity. Good range should have a dense stand of perennial grass, le says. The six taUcst buildings in the world are in New York City.

They are the Empire State, Chrj'sler, 60 Wall Tower. Bank of Manhattan, RCA-Rockefeller Center and Woolworth. CsU Timor AnthoriMid Belmf Servicse asencj- wecuotx. Wuks When Most CaUsShut Cont delajr!

S. Highway 14 relocation project should represent the last installment on the cost for the county. Highway Commissioner Willard Schmidt predicted Tuesday.

Federal aid on the relocated road should take care of the of the expense, he said, and state highway construction funds for next year may be channeled to some other necessary work. No decision on a state road building orojcct has been made for 19,51, JUt reconstruction of the section of Highway 14 between Evansville and the Four-Mile bridge Intersection is a possibility. The Highway 14 which will carry traffic on the main line between Chicago, Madison and the Twin Cities around Janesville to the east and north, has been under discussion since before the war. Though plans were developed, no work was done until this year, when the new Rock river bridge and about two miles of new pavement opened the first Jink, between the present V. S.

34 and U. S. Highway 51 north of Janesville. Total Cost $800,000 Next year, plans call for the extension of the highway to the north of the county farm property over what in now a rural blacktop road, to connect with Highway 26 north of Janesville, Eventually the new pavement will bo carried as far as the Delavan road over, a route not yet definitely selected. Traffic would thus flow between the Delavan highway and the Evansville highway across the Four Mile bridge.

Instead of being routed into Janesville. The entire project, exclusive of the Four-Mile bridge, was to cost an estimated $800,000. and federal aid in the amount of was set up for II, In 1948, Rock county flevoted $167,000 o' its state trunk highway revenues to the work, and put In another $100,000 this year, shifting the rest to reconstruction of Highway 15 east of Boloit. The approved' for next year should therefore provide sufficient money to finish the job, Beloit Bridge Having: There is a possibility that the county may save something out of $217,000 already in the county treasury earmarked for the county's one-third share of the cost of the Henry avenue bridge in Beloit. This is the bridge originally planned in connection with the new Beloit high school, making the building accessible without a long detour for students from the northeast section of the city.

Estimates on the bridge have ranged from $135,000 to with the last one standing at about $175,000. The state, county and city of Beloit were to divide the cost equally. State and county funds are now at hand, but the city has not yet put up Its share, A decision on whether the needed city fund will be available In 19,50 is expected to be reached Thursday night, City Clerk Calland indicated yesterday. On the basis of lower estimated cost, the being held in (he county treasury will be about $40,000 In exco.ss of what will be needed. The fund came up for dl.scusslon at the Tuesday afternoon meeting of the board of supervisors here, but no decision was made on what could be done with the $217,000 now held in event that the bridge is not built next year.
