TO HAVE ONLY 4 STATE ROADS
TWELVE OF THE SIXTEEN STATE
HIGHWAYS OF COUNTY CAN
CELLED BY COMMISSION

The board of county commissioners
of this county have been notified
through the secretary, County Auditor
B. Y. McNairy, that the state highway
commission has cancelled IL Of the
state roads in this county, for which
the county has been getting state aid
that they are not entitled to. This
leaves but four state roads in the
ccrnty, all of which are mail arteries
running east, west, north and south
from this city.
Some time ago the county commits
sioners were asked to prepare 4 sys-
tenn of the state roads leading through
the county, as the state highway COM
mission held that there were too many.
This was not done however, hence the
above action by the commission. The
roads which will remain state high.
ways are numbered 3, 4, 6 and Is. No.
3 covers distance Of 16 miles, run
ming from this city to Swanville. No.
4 takes an easterly course to Mile
Lacs lake via Pierz, and is 80 miles
long in this county. No. 6 runs north.
west to Staples, and extends for &c
ul1lcS III C0o%COuAeJ1 VAAAc 4~O' ~ pass
es through the county from the south
boundary through Royalton and north
to Brainerd, along the Mississippi riv'
er, covering 26 miles in the county.
In its notice to the county commits
sioners the state highway commission
stated that additional roads can be
designated but that in all they can
not exceed 100 miles for the county
With the four roads which remain to-
taling lO3 miles this could not be
done, however.
The district engineer has made ap'
plication to the commission for two
more state roads in yne southern part
of the county, whicn, if granted, viii
bring the total mileage of state road
in the county to $50 miles, instead
of 103 miles. The first would run east
from Royalton to Hillman, thence
north to Pierz to connect with state
road No. 4. The second would also
start at Royalton, run west to the vi
entity Of Upsala and northwest I'd
swanville to connect with state road
No. 3 at that place. The county com
missioners are in hope that the peti
ton for these roads will be granted

GARY BURGLARS

Two Are Sent From 5 to 81
Years in Penitentiary
by Judge Becker.

Two Gary burglars were sentenced
to from to 81 years in the peniten-
tiary after pleading guilty before
Judge Lawrence Becker yesterday.
They are Joe Argostino and Louis ST.
ntsalki, charged with robbing and at
tempting to shoot a man by the name
of Johnson in Gary.
In addition they were disfranchised
for 20 years and fined SIS and costs.
It is reported that Gary attorneys who
accept cases now charge a certain fee
on their guarantee that the case will
not be tried in the Lake superior court.
They concede that there is little op-
portunity to put anythin Cover in any
of those courts. In fact so few felons
have gone over at Hammond that the
underworld has a horror of being
caught in Hammond.
At Valparaiso they have as good a
