Fairmont, June I'D. w. Web
ster, assistant construction engi-
neer of the Minnesota Highway
commission today wrote Jones &
Curtis, city engineers, that taxpays
ers on Blue Earth avenue here. are
slated for a refund of $27, ,306.17
from the state on the paving of that
street.
That this is good news for the
Blue Earth avenue folks goes with
out saying.
The refund will come for the rea
son that Blue Earth avenue is a
part of the state highway system,
and the paving done there saves the
state from doing it.
Babcock highways are eighteen
feet wide, and the state therefore
pays for an eighteen foot strip of
paving.
The money when received pro-
bably will be taken off the assess
,ments which will necessitate con-
siderable refiguring. 4.
