The board adjourned until 1870 p.
m. and resumed business at that
time.
Commissioner Davis offered the fol-
lowing resolution and moved its adj
option.
Be it resolved, by the Board of
County Commissioners of Blue Earth
County, Minnesota, that we recon-
mend that the route of trunk high
, way number 16, running east from
Madelia should be altered to run
through Lake Crystal instead of
Garden City; that the increase in
mileage would be more than offset
by the fact that the Lake Crystal
route follows well worked and long
established roads which can be hard
! surfaced with much less cost than
the Garden City route and without
building any expensive bridges.
| Commissioner Foley seconded the
motion and it was duly carried.
Commissioner Olson offered the
| following resolution and moved its
adoption:
Be it resolved by the Board Of
County Commissioners of Blue Earth
County, Minnesota that the following
/ mentioned jobs of road construction
work be completed before any new
! construction work is laid out or un-
dertaken towit:
One. The road from Mankato to
Lake Crystal, known as s. RosS
No. TO- - szsS
Two. State Road No. 9.
Three. The road extending from
Amboy south to Faribault County line,
Four State Road No. q, commence
ing at Sterling Center and extending
to the village of Amboy.
Be it further resolved that Norman
Moe, State Highway Engineer, be in +.
structed to stop all road construction
work as soon as the current road
construction fund is exhausted, un-
less the Board of County Commits
sioners otherwise instruct, and that
he issue no time checks after the
exhaustion of said fund.
Commissioner Foley seconded the
motion and it was duly carried.
The bond of the Mankato State
Bank in the sum of $50,0O0.00 as a
county depository was presented
with Frank D. Sleight, August
Schultz. B. Frank Pay. Michael D.
Fritz, George B. Owen, Albert G..
en-, Thomas A. Sherk, and Nicholas
Juliar as sureties and on motion it
was duly approved.
w. n. MATTERS VI the state f1lSu-
way Commissioner was present and
answered great many questions as
to federal aid to roads, the issuance
of road bonds, probable cost of hard
surface roads and similar matters.
About three hours were spent in this
discussion The full board will go
to St, Paul next week to interview
the Highway Commissioner as to fed
eral aid.
