the Central Cooperative Commission
association, and J.. F. Reed, presi-
dent of the Minnesota farm bureau
federation, went to Washington to
urge cooperation of the federal gov
eminent with the state of Minnesota
in supervising the South st. Paul
stockyards. As interpreted by the
United States department. of agricul-
ture, the new federal stockyards con-
troll act would prevent the state from
continuing its present public weighing
of livestock, and virtually abolish all
state regulation.
The federal act is much less drastic
than the present state law. Repre-
sentatives of the farm bureau, the
General Cooperative association, the
Minnesota Live Stock Breeders Asso-
citation and the Minnesota Livestock
Shippers association have united in
an appeal to the federal government
to permit the state to continue it's
weighing service. They contend that
the fees charged for weighing are
more than repaid in the protection
and service furnished the farmers by
state regulation, and that the live.
stock shippers would have to pay the
entire cost of private weighing in
directly if state control ends.

$50, 900 Expended BY Stearns
County on Highpaysin 1921

State Aid Road mileage OF about
1872 miles. Of this total we have
about so miles of graveled road and
43 miles of graded road not graveled.
During the year we have graveled
under maintenance 21-4 miles OF
State Road No. 9 at cost Of $4366,-
81. and about 5 miles of State Road
No. 5 at cost of $223S 81, exclusive
of the cost of gravel.
The total cost of all maintenance
including work done oy the crew WIN
tractor and grader and the gravellng
done under maintenance is $3l,4Uf,
81.
The cost of maintenance done by
the patrols and extra help used by
them is s24,3O1.72. This amount IN
cludes culverts, bridge lumber, gra
vel. repairs of machinery and extras
for machinery. 49,
Miscellaneous expenditures on state
Aid Road machinery, grading OF
County Roads with County outht'
new equipment, and engineering costs
amount to a total of $23,174.54 OF
which amount $16,662.62 was paid
for new equipment and machinery
repairs.
We have added to our equipment
this year three new cars for the con
st,uction crew, three Twin City
Trucks and numerous small malnten-
ance graders and drags.
I would urge the board to purchase
another 10 ton tractor for use on the
10 foot blade we have idle with which
we can grade many miles OF State
Aid and County roads which other
wise will be in bad shope and make a
larger maintenance cost per mile
With this outfit we can also do turn
piking for townships at a daily cost
price which will soon pay = for the
cost of the tractor and many OF the
townships will be only to glad to get
the county to do the work for them.
Besides the tractor we need at least
~ wheeled scrapers and slips and at
least 8 presnos. If we had 8 more
trucks our loading cost would be
much smaller and more work accom-
plished.
The road work for this year SO far
as I have been able to get it lined up
consists of the completion and gra-
Yelling of Job 2O01, State Road No.
16 and the construction of the upper
4 miles of State road No. 2 north OF
Melrose.
Other jobs may be laid out and
built providing we have equipment to
build them with but the 2 jobs now
ordered will be all the present outfit
can do.
Respectfully submitted this 3rd
day of January, 1922.

Gentleman:-I herewith submit my
report for the year ending Dec. 81
1921.
Road construction was started
Aug. 1, and carried forward with
vim until Nov. 8. Our first work was
the construction of Job 2lol on
State Aid Road No. the st. Cloud
Clearwater road and was that por-
ton extending from the city OF ST.
Cloud to the mill south of ST. Angus
ia, a distance of So miles. Ems
road was we'll graded with good
drainage and then graveled. over
some sandy portions, about a mile III
all. we placed a layer of clay before
the gravel was applied. This road Is
apparently well surfaced but from
the sandy nature of the soil addl-
tional clay and gravel may be need
ed later on.
In building this road we moved
1s4s8 cubic yards of earth, placed
6e3 cubic yards of clay and 1851 Gu
bic wards of gravel. 92O lineal feet
of portable culverts were laid.
Job 21O2, being Bridge No. S34S
over Spunk Brook north of Avon on
State Aid Road No. was built as was
Job 21O3. Bridge No. 1914 on State
Aid Road No. 10 between Melrose
and Greenwald.
After the completion Of Job -21ol
the construction camp was moved to
Relgrade and on the 26th of Sep
TENDER we began work on Job 2Ool.
the BelgradeLake Henry road and
was carried on steadily until com
PEELED to quit on account of freezing
weather. During the time we were
working on this job we built and
graveled 2 1-2 miles of road moving
approximately 142O0 cubic yards OF
earth. Crawling was done from the
bitches made along the sides.
This work includes one-half mile
of road built for the village of Bel
grade, this portion being part OF
the State Aid road.
