COMMISSIONERS HEAR
TALK ON GOOD ROADS
County Officials Hold Annual Meeting
at Sti.Iwater-Cross-Se
Plan Advocated.

Saltwater. John H. Maeher Of
the State Highway commission ad-
dressed the Minnesota county commits
sioners at their annual convention,
which opened it's session here, on good
roads building. Mr.. Maeher advocated
the cross-section plan of sloping on
each side of the road as the most sue
cessful method for developing good
roads and suggested more county &C
tivity in state road improvement.
According to Mr.. Maeher there are
more than 10000 miles of gravel state
highways In Minnesota, and the work
of the counties in keeping the roads
in condition is worthy of commenda-
ton. He suggested, however, that the
road should be divided into five-mile
sections, which would insure better
care.
In the matter of travel Mr.. Maeher
pointed out that an average of 40
automobiles a day pass over the road
in Minnesota as compared to an aver
age Of Is teams.
