SPITE CURTAILMENTS


n Nearly 1875 miles of gravel surfac-
ing and 100 miles of grading with

Minnesota trunk highway improve
ment program made public yesterday
by Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner. Bids are to be
opened July 10 on the first lot in a
list of 20 projects.
The highway bulletin shows wide
distribution of new work that the
greatest needs and maximum num-
bers of highway users may be served
the proposed betterments being locat-
ed in many parts of the state. 1t
also refers to cut of nearly 81 $780,
600 in the Minnesota allotment of
federal aid which forces delay of
many pending projects. The state
highway program is well up to
schedule nevertheless, and it is furth-
er pointed out that with each contract
letting the waiting projects are near
er construction.

is building, just how the man gets
such a big chunk of INSTRUMENTATION
is one of the unsolved conundrums

him propose tax levy that will pay
