this year, so per cent more than in
1917, according to figures made avail
able to the st. Paul association. Last
years total expenditure in the state
through federal, state and county
channels was $3,884,00.
The way to Minnesota and her
summer Fairgrounds will be more
open and better to travel than ever
before, judging from the millions to
be expended on highway improve
ments by states from the gulf to the
north woods.
The nation will spend approximate
ly $26O,C08,O00 on road Improvement

survey made by the Goodrich touring
bureau.

Minnesota compares favorable with
the majority of states in this terri
tory, although Texas leads with $685.

next with about $17,0OO,O00 each. To-
wa will spend $15,O00,000; Kansas,
$10,000,000; Missouri, 100000 and
Arkansas, s12,OOO,0O0. The middle
west and south will spend much more
than other sections of the country.
Federal railway officials declare
this quarter billion is only drop in

before the war us over. The railway
situation is admitted to make i'm

road building and government officials
declare that with good highways,

the railways, according to the survey.
The estimated value of the highways
is $6,240,O0G,0 900.

The labor, shortage and scarcity of

materials may hamper the effort con
siderably this year, highway commits

aid is expected, more than permission

Because of the closing of their At
