Part of the Sl4, 1000 of the state
road and bridge fund not heretofore
allotted was apportioDed as follows:
$500 for state road No. in Milo;
$500 for state road No. l in Bogus
Brook; $4,000 for state roads Nos. 4
and in Greenbush-the towns have
arranged to provide the means to
meet the state money $500 to
Commissioner Sho]in for town of
Milaca and $500 to Commissioner
Eckdall for town of Borgholm. BY a
unanimous vote of the board r. c..
Dunn was authorized to supervise
the work of laying the 250 cars of
crushed rock that has been ordered
from ST. Cloud on state road No. 4
leading west from Princeton village.
Assistant State Engineer Cooley
submitted an elaborate plan for the
maintenance of the state roads in
the county which met with the ap-
proval of the board. The plan con-
templates the appointment of men
and teams, properly equipped, to
patrol constantly and keep in proper
repair the state roads for six months
of the Year. District No. l covers
all of state road No. 4, state road
No. to the south line of section 26
in the town of Milo, and state road
No. l to the south line of section 16
in the town of Bogus Brook. Dis
trict No. 2 covers state road No. 1
two miles north of Milaca village, all
of state road No. 3, state road No.
5 to the south line of section 26 in
the town of Milo, and state road
No. to the south line of section l6
in the town Of Bogus Brook. Dis
t1ict No. 3 covers all of the state
roads two miles north of Milaca vii
lage. 1t is estimated that the cost
of maintenance in districts No. l
and 2 will not exceed 81, 1900 each,
but district No. will require about
$4,000
Twenty per cent Of the state road
and bridge fund must be used for
maintenance purposes, and the
county is obliged to pay it's proper
tionate share-20 per cent of the
amount set aside by the state. This
maintenance provision is one of the
best features Of the new road law.
Deputy Engineer Cooley will have
charge of all the maintenance work
and he win see to it that it is prop.
erly done.
