Chas. M. Babcock Launches
Winter Highway Tally
Will Determine Whether Gas Tax
Pays for Clearing Snow Away
on State Highways

The first winter census attempted
was launched Monday by Superin-
tendent of Highway Maintenance
Robert Jorgens, when he instructed
seven men placed at points of heavy
traffic to determine whether or not
the state gas tax will pay the ex-
pense of keeping roads free from
snow.
Men will be placed at seven stra-
getic points on the main highways and
will be supervised by l.. R. Miller,
who has directions to station his men
tomorrow morning.
By taking the census of cars pass
ing over the main highways, which
are kept free Of snow, and those
which are not, the superintendent
can determine whether enough reve-
nue. from the gas tax is being received
BY the state highway department to
pay the cost of keeping the trails
clean.
The census will probably be taken
every tenth day. Highway men were
stationed at the following points
during the first count Tuesday. Two
miles south of Omaha on No. 18;
west of Milaca on No. %; at the
point where Nos. and 23 branch
west Of St.. Cloud; on No. 27 just
south of Little Falls; on 81 north of

St. Joe Farmer Held Up
By Highwaymen Saturday
John Justin Stops to Aid Stalled Car
and Is Relieved of $165 Sat
urday Evening

Another motorist was the victim OF
robbery through his own desire to be
helpful Saturday evening at about
5:15 o'clock when John R. Justin OF
St. Joseph, route 1, was waylaid
near the Sauk River bridge on the
old st. Joseph road and robbed OF
$3.50 in cash.
Justin was returning to his home
near St. Joseph from st. Cloud where
he had collected around $175 anG
made some few purchases, leaving 1
balance in his possession of some.
thing over $160. When he saw two
motorists with their coupe parked
close to the center of the road just
beyond the bridge.
He came to a halt, asked if the
youths needed help. Receiving an
affirmative answer Justin dismounted
from his machine and approached
the stalled car where he asked what
he could do. One youth, quite flip
pant, informed him that he could put
his hands up and at the same time
rammed pistol into the small of
Justin's back, the other frisking his
pockets.
When the search was completed
