1922 ROAD WORK
GETS GOOD START
In All Sections of the State Babcock
Highway Program is Under
Way and Being Pushed.
ARMY OF MEN EMPLOYED
Commissioner to Assist State Officials
in Rounding Up Violators
of the Auto Law.

Around Princeton and in all other
sections of Minnesota, highway i'm
provements are being started under
the second year program of the Bah
cock plan on trunk routes and by
county and town officials on the So
called local roads.
Highway Commissioner Babcock
has placed under contract for con-
struction this season GIG miles of
gravel surfacing, 1913 miles of paving
and 1856 miles of permanent grading
on the trunk system, including county
reimbursement projects carrying state
department approval, also many new
bridges, miles Of guard rails, thing
and minor improvements. This work,
engineers estimate, will employ about
5000 men through the construction
season.
Local highway authorities over the
state, having available double the
amount of money that is provided for
state operations, will carry on work
taking approximately 10000 additional
men, it is estimated, so that approx
mately $4,000 men, hundreds of teams,
scores of construction outfits made up
of big steam shovels and other ma
chinery, will be engaged this year in
this big undertaking.
The first week in May has been
looked forward to by road contractors
in which to start construction opera
tons, following weeks of preparation
made possible by early lettings Of
contracts. Many road building out
fits are on the move and payrolls are
longer. Forced by sharp competition
to bid low for work, the contractors
are planning to push work to early
completion to avoid possible losses,
according to reports to the highway
department.
Patrolmen and other maintenance
forces have been on the trunk routes
since April 1 in many instances to
speed the draining and drying of the
roads and drag them smooth after
the spring thaws. The regular amount
is set aside for maintenance work this
year, although trunk highway reve-
nues are less than expected and high
way officials give assurance that re-
suits in this department will be fully
up to those of the first year.

Potato Prices Ascend and Slump.

The market price for white stock
went up to $1.80 per cwt. last Satur-
day and remained at that point until
Monday afternoon, when there was a
drop OF about 40 cents. For a couple
OF days there was heavy movement
from the farms to the warehouses
which has now slackened up. Ship
ments for the week have been light.
There are now eight buyers on the
market out of a total of Is,

Petition to Employ Night Waterman
Considered and Laid Over
for Further Action.

members present-Gramer, Jones,
Ross, Klatt and Prescott.
A petition bearing the signatures
of 66 business men was presented to
the council by J. A. Jorgensen, pray
ing that a night Waterman be en-
ployed to go on duty at 6 p. m. and
remain until 5 a. m. This brought
forth various opinions.
In reply to a question from Presi-
dent Gramer, Mr.. Jorgensen said he
believed it was the consensus of
opinion of the petitioners that a night
man be put on instead of one in the
daytime.
Mr.. Gramer considered it would be a
good scheme for the business men to
keep light burning in their places at
night.
Owen Newton believed that, with the
increasing traffic day marshal was
absolutely necessary while George
Newton was in favor Of employing
both day and night policeman at a
salary of about 500 a month each.
Henry Plaas was in favor of both a
day and night Waterman.
E. K. Evens said he believed the
people who signed the petition would
be satisfied with whatsoever decision
the council arrived at, but he was in
favor of two home men, not too high
priced.
w. L. Hatch said he considered that
the council in hiring Mr.. Finn made a
very wise move.
AS to the moonshine situation Re-
corder Jones stated that under the
law the marshal cannot make an ar
rest of suspect in his home with
out warrant, but of course if man
were drunk on the street he would be
locked up.
Owen Newton remarked that, with
man on duty only at night, law vio-
lators would ply their calling in the
daytime. Since Mr.. Finn has been
employed, he averred, the town has
been better and he did not believe in
changing him from day to night duty.
President Gramer asked for time to
consider the request of the petitioners
and, this being satisfactory to all con-
cerned, action was postponed.
1t was decided to make an investiga-
ton of the street lights to ascertain
whether they were up to the power re-
quired by the contract. Itswas stated
that some of the lights had not been
on for some time.
Dave Claggett was appointed park
caretaker at salary of SIS per month,
the council to first clean up the
grounds and he to keep them in ship
shape during the summer. He has
been given police power.
Following considerable discussion,
it was decided to install two or more
additional lights and platform in the
village park, the platform to be used
for occasional band concerts.
The matter of obtaining a new vii
lage team came up for consideration
but no action was taken.
It was unanimously agreed to hire
W. ]. Finn as chief of police for the
remainder of the year at salary of
$3.50 per month.
M. McKinnon appeared before the
council and said he had recovered from
his illness sufficiently to go back to
work and was reinstated as village
teamster.
A suggestion to place speed signs
on the Scenic highway YVES made and
laid over for further consideration.
The council then audited a number
of bills and adjourned.

MOUNTAINS FLOAT ON EARTH

Mountains float. Cubic yard for
