URGES COUNTY-TOWN
ROAD COOPERATION
Highway Commissioner Babcock Points
+ Way to Get Bigger Results On
gls Local Roads

Marshall county, with other eoul-
ties IN the state, can secure q CON-
plete system of good local roads in
the shortest time and with least ex-
pense by adopting definite program
OF systematic improvement; pooling ite
road and bridge funds with those Of
the townships, and applying modern
bodybuilding methods. '. 90
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week made the
foregoing statement, and recommended
call for an early convention in each
county seat, or centrally located town
in the county, at which county COM
missioners and the supervisors from
every township may meet with the
county highway engineer to work out
definite systematic plan of county
good roads development. By ending
common patchwork practices, he adj
ded, the proposed plan will produce
the greatest results and biggest mea-
sure possible from the money used. +.
Funds available for roads other
than trunk highways in Marshall
county last year were about 1928, 1000,
he said, indicating the Importance Of
prompt action. Good roads conven-
lions are being recommended to all
Minnesota counties - even Renville,
Carlton and some others which al
ready are operating with success un-
der the plan but where general
meeting promises additional benefits.
Minnesota county and township
road funds combined are now consid-
erably larger than the trunk highway
fund total" said Mr.. Babcock. while
| the trunk mileage is less, it requires
more costly improvements and main
tenance, and all things considered,
local road improvements should easily
keep pace with those on the trunk
routes. We are suggesting the county
roads conventions because we believe
great accomplishments possible from
| cQuntY-tQXn co-OperatiOn."
