New Highway Extension
Work May Cost Million
State Department Will Open Bids
Sept. 20 on Crawling, Grading
and 3S Miles of Paving

More paving extensions and con-
nections on heavy travelled sections,
where gravel maintenance is satisfac-
tory and too expensive, and more
grading and crawling On other parts
of the Minnesota 7,0O0-mile system of
trunk highways make up new list
on which bids will be opened Sept.
20, J. T. Ellison, first assistant COM
missioner and chief highway engineer,
announced this week in the absence
of Commissioner Charles M. Babcock,
who is travelling to South America on
an official government trip. Prelim-
inery estimates on the projects total
81, 100000, to which will be added
the cost of cement for paving which
is to be furnished direct by the state.
Two more projects measuring near
ly 20 miles on the Duluth-Twin Cities
section of T. H. No. 1, and nearly as
great new paving mileage in four
projects on the Winona-Twin Cities
Section of T. H. No. 8, both heavy
duty routes, are scheduled for 1926
construction.
About SO miles of gravel surfac-
ing and 81 miles of grading on ten
efits widely that many sections may
share in the good roads benefits, COM
plete the list for, letting Sept. 20 at
the St. Paul office of the highway
department. Local contractors are
urged to bid on I'll be work.
These improvements are held of
special Importance because they will
help to cut car running costs for the
thousands using them, besides reduc-
ing maintenance expenses and making
savings for all auto and truck owners
who are furnishing every dollar used
for state trunk highway purposes.

MitcheI's charges are too sweeping to
be ignored and that action must be
taken.
In wartime he would probably be
severely punished as an example ia
other officers to refrain from CRITICS
ing superior officers, regardless OF
how incompetent they might be.
There is more than a lingering sus-
picion in the minds of many gooc
citizens that Col. Mitchell is right.

COOLIDGE THRIFT
HITS Navy PLANS
President UphoIds U. S. Right
Under Arms Treaty, But
Opposes Project.

Washington - Congress was in
formed that the administration does
not regard the much debated proposal
to modernize American battleships as
conflicting with the arms treaty, but
that President Coolidge believes both
the modernization program and GER
tain new construction would conflict
with his policy Of economy.
Secretary Hughes, in letter to the
House naval committee, declared
Japan and the United States agreed
that elevation of guns on American
capital ships would be in harmony
with the treaty, although Great Britain
had taken the opposite view.
Secretary Wilbur, appearing before
the same committee, said although the
Navy department would like to see
enough construction and alteration to
bring the navy as whole up to the
5-5-3 ratio, the expenditures necessary
had been vested by the budget bureau
with the backing of the President.
