FOR GOOD ROADS.
Plan Of Having Counties Unite State
Roads Into One system.

Roads Into One System.
Albert ]. Calhoun, prominent edu-
cationalist and at present interested in
the development of good roads, has
been in CrOokstOn recently for the
purpose of consulting with local au-
thorities and determining the condi-
tiOns that hold in this violently as we'll
as the sentiment toward a great gen.
eral system Of good roads under the
direction of the state and formed for
the purpose of nucleus upon which
to base the wide distribution of good
roads in the future. He says, fifteen
counties have already complied with
the new law in regard to the selection
Of state road upon which work can
be done under the provisions calling
for state aid which were passed at
the last session of the legislature. In
the selections made up to date it is
evident that none of the counties have
consulted with the other in order
that the state roads selected may unite
to make system of good roads lead
ing to the chief cities of the state.
The idea of having three roads run
ming out of the twin cities to Duluth,
Cro0kstOn and International Falls as
shown on map recently published by
the commission is not followed out by
the selections already made, but the
commission is Of the firm opinion that
as soon as the idea gains favor of
having the roadwork of one county
d0vetail into that of another, the
greatest benefit to the state by the
expenditure of money in aiding the
construction of good roads will result.
G. w. Cooley, state engineer, has
begun an active campaign of educa-
ton through the state expressly to Sc
cure cooperation between the various
counties. The highway commission
will hold its next meeting Aug. &,
when the matter of establishing state
roads will be thoroughly discussed.
