GOOD ROADS As
FAR As FUNDS CO.
STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
REVIEW FOR 1928 SHOWS
WIDE DISTRIBUTION.

Good roads dollars stretched and
put promptly on the roads to give
the users earlier benefits, improve
ments on Minnesota trunk highways
during the year just ended included
SO bridges, 325 miles of new grad
ing, AZ of paving, ITO miles of new
and 200 miles of re-graveling.
These carried lasting benefits in ad-
dition to those from maintenance
overations on the entire 7,000-mile
system.
The paragraph sums up 1928 pro-
gress as shown in advance sheets
from the annual report by Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commis-
sioner. "Too little money being
invested in permanent work-too
much being spent for mending and
patching" was the commissioners
comment in brief.
The statement shows that $4,000
900 was used for upkeep in 1923;
that $2,500,000 went into the sink
ing fund for county reimbursement
bond payments: that 100000 of
administration expenses, also right
of-way purchases, equipment and
Their items took 1925, 900, and that a
round total of $5,000,000 was put
into construction-lasting work.
Receipts for the year were $7,275,
900 of motor vehicle taxes, $1,8550,-
900 of federal aid and $2,500,000
from county reimbursement bonds.
Although the trunk routes serve 80
per cent of highway users, the SILL
625, 900 total was only a little more
than half the amount raised of local
road and bridge purposes by counties
and townships.
The report sheets contain map
on which are located all improve
ments made thus far under the Bah
cock plan. This discloses that,
needs and traffic conditions consid-
cred, work has been widely spread to
all parts of Minnesota. Totaling 60
important jobs, 16 of which cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000 each
and are built to serve generation
and longer.

VETERANS BUREAU DOING
BUSINESS EVERY MONTH.

If our readers could spend a
month. with the U. S. Veterans
Bureau they would be. surprised at
the amount of work being handled
by this Bureau. OF course the great
er part of this cannot be indicated
on paper but we can give enough
figures to indicate in a general way
what is being done for the disabled
soldiers in the tenth district, en-
bracing the states of Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana Our figures are for the
month of November, 1923.
The disbursing clerk drew 8431
checks for compensation, 2066 sal
airy checks, 9702 training-pay checks,
and POST checks for miscellaneous
purposes, or 22,256 in all.
In the matter of correspondence,
33,968 pieces of mail were received
and 81, 486 pieces were sent out.
The Medical Division made 1888
general examination, 1885 special
ones, also 364 dental sittings, total
of 1892 examinations made at the
office. In addition, out-patient treat
ments, medical and dental, were
given to 7840 cases, making a grand
total of 1852 medical examinations
and treatments.
There is total of 40,668 claims
in the files; 30,353 of these were for
vocational training. The number de-
clared eligible to date. is 1859, in
eligible 1874, pending %. OF the
1859 eligibles 1854 have entered
training, 4412 are now in training,
1862 have completed their courses,
while the remaining 1890 discon-
tinued training for various reasons,
such as death, illness, securing good
positions, leaving the district, in

We have secured from the Good
will industries in Duluth several
bags which our generous people are
expected to fill and return to the
Goodwill people. These bags are
to be filed with cast off clothing,
shoes and all kinds Of wearing ap-
parel. The Goodwill industries in
Duluth and other cities of the coun-
try are furnishing employment for
many who otherwise could not make
living and would of necessity be
forced to look to charity for their
upkeep. The articles sent them
are renovated, repaired and made
serviceable after which they are dis
posed of to poor people at very low
figures, or for just enough to keep
the forces busy. The Industries
are in need of much of this class
of goods to keep their people en-
ployed and Ely people will do
well to save material for their use.
Do not throw away anything in
this line but call at the Miner Office,
get bag and fill it. Unless you
desire to ship it yourself, call on the
Miner when your bag is filled and
we will see that it goes to the
proper address. Every family has
more or less material usually con-
signed to the scrap heap and which
these people can make use of be-
sides giving employment to those
who are not able to battle with life's
troubles in the general labor mar
ket.
