FIX ROUTES OF STATE ROADS
Meeting in Moorhcad I O Determine
Where the Minnesota Highways
Should Run.

At a largely attended good roads
meeting held in the Clay county
court house in Moorhead. which was
primarily a hearing before the board
of county commissioners. the official
route for the Observation-Disclosures
state road and tho Moorhead Baker
county road was definitely decided
upon.
Delegations were at the meeting
from the Moorhead Commercial club,
the town of WoIverton and other
towns. urging that the route be placed
on certain lines. The discussion occu-
pied the entire afternoon and much
interest was shown in the work.
The C%rookston-B Breckenridge road
is being built under the provision by
which the state assumed o%ne-third of
the cost of construction and the
county two-thirds. The road will
eventually run from Crookston south
to Breckenridge and thence east and
south to Ortonvillc. through Big
Stone.
The route for this road was decided
upon Tuesday. The portion that runs
through Clay county begins at the
Norman county line a mile west of
Georgetown. runs south through the
village Of Georgetown. south through
kragness, through the city of Moor
head and passes on south a mile west
Of Comstock and thence directly south
to the Wilkin county line. The new
route Is shorter than the primal one,
cutting out a jog eastward of several
miles.
The Moorhead- Baker road will run
along the line of the Great Northern
railway. From the fact that the
limits of the city of Moorhead arc
u about three miles at the cas- line
of section is. in the township of Moor
head, the connecting line between the
terminus of the road and the center of
the city will have to be laid out by
the city council.
