MINNESOTA ROAD
COSTS ARE LOW
UNITED STATES BUREAU OF
PUBLIC ROADS GIVES CON-
PARSONS WITH OTHER
STATES.

Federal aid highways in Mime
sota-for the most part state trunk
routes are being built at an average
cost of $11,180 a mile, compared
with the general cost average of
S17,665 a mile for all the states.
The figures are from the current
bulletin of the United States Bur-
eau of Public Roads, Washington,
based on official records.
In spite of the Minnesota policy
of stretching both federal and state
good roads dollars as far as pos
sible, however, the bulletin shows
that this state is topped by Texas
in point of mileage of highways
built with federal aid. Texas is
credited with 1907 miles completed,
against 2,721 miles in Minnesota,
but the total outlay in Texas was
much larger and averaged nearly
$4,000 a mile or almost $4,000 a
mile more than that in Minnesota,
according to the government figures.
Minnesota is allotted 2.S4 per
cent of each federal aid appropria-
ton voted by congress, which is
above the average for all the states
and Hawaii. Yet Minnesota with
less than 100000 of the new ap-
preparation left to apply on w,.ck
now mostly under way, leads thirty
six states in point of putting the
money into needed road improve
ments as fast as possible that road
users may profit by the resulting re-
auctions in car running costs.
The Bureau of Public Roads bull.
letin further credits Minnesota with
739 miles of federal aid highway
improvements under construction
and projects covering nearly LOO
miles now approved by the bureau
and ready for building.
Federal highway aid averaging
$40, 100000 annually for the las
seven years, and matched by thu

The Rotary Club meeting on We'd
nesday evening was devoted to the
observance of Constitution Week
and Russell Browne and Walter
Englund made addresses pertaining
to this world-renowned document
which has withstood the onslaughts
of the lawless inclined, both here
and abroad since its adoption. Both
speakers were full of their subject
and time was altogether too short.
In the absence Of Lew White, Raub
James acted as secretary. The lad

AN ENGLISH VERSION OF
THE BASS LAKE STORY

The story of the disappearance of
Bass Lake several months ago
reached all parts of the world and
the little name of Ely thereby came
into the international eye. While
we cannot afford to lose a lake
every time we want publicity, it
nevertheless goes to prove that
something sensational is what gets
the bacon. The following clipping
is from the Birmingham Weekly
Post of Birmingham, England, and
gives the first Associated Press ver-
sion of the disappearance: The
Post said:
