COMMISSIONERS RE-NUMBER
ROADS TO COOPERATE WITH
STATES SYSTEM.

AT special meeting of the board
OF county commissioners the state
roads of Redwood county were re-de-
signated, revised and given new num-
bers. In some cases new pieces Of
state road were consolidated with old
state roads in the re-designating pro-
cess and the indentification of the vari-
GUS state roads thereby simplified.
The move was made at the suggestion
of the state highway commissioner as
the Trunk Highway system, taking
over as it does considerable road mile
age in Redwood county, has disrupted
the state road records. This does
not mean that mile of the state
road system of the county has been
changed, except in its identification.
The county is honeycombed with
state roads, besides there are over 100
miles OF Trunk Highway in Redwood
county.
