Modernizing Local System
A Stabilizer Which Will Keep Vol.
tage at 118 Being Installed
This Week

Monday workmen from Mineapo-
lis and st. Cloud under the direction
of P. o. Molman commenced the in
stallation of a voltage stabilizer in
the transformer crib behind the pow
er plant at the local power plant.
This stabilizer which weighs about
two ton will when put in operation act
as regulator of the voltage. Mr..
Molman stated to the Herald that it
would be set to keep the voltage at
118, and that as all the current used
had to pass through the stabilizer be-
fore being consumed the patrons
could be assured that the voltage dur
ing the peak load as we'll as the light
load would not vary to exceed three
volts.
The cost of this Improvement as
the Herald understands it will !e ap-
-proximately $4,000, but considering
the fact that steady current is assur-
ed anu that it will eliminate the flick
ering of lights, it appears to be a very
good investment. ,
Work on the installation will be
complete this week.

Minnesota's Road Program
Is Enormous Undertaking
Large Quantity of Highway Material
Handled During Five Year
sU.- Period

To transport the surfacing mater
ials used by the Minnesota depart
ment of highways during the year
1921 to 1925 MISUNDERSTANDING
when the new state highway program
took full effect would require 1928
trains of steel hopper cars extending
a distance of 1541 miles. Charles M.
Babcock, in a recent statement, said
that the department has built 3,575
miles of grading, 1928 miles of
gravel surfacing and 575 miles of
paving in addition to extensive bridge
construction and replacement and
maintenance operations over the en-
tire 7,000-mile highway system.
Material involved in the state high
way departments surfacing activi-
ties during the year period mention
ed totalled 6,704, 200 cubic yards of
dry materials or 9,684,000 tons. To
transport this vast quantity would
have required '93,680 steel hopper
cars of capacity of so tons each.
AS told in Mr.. Babcock's statement,
the department built 575 miles of
pavement and there entered into it
1,847,00O cubic yards of material or
quantity sufficient to construct a
wall 472 miles long, 10 feet high and
two feet thick. This wall would ex-
tend from st. Paul to Winnipeg.
The department has used for vari-
GUS purposes 352,963 tons of cement,
834,428 tons of sand and 1885, 086
tons of aggregate gravel or crushed
rock. The cement, gravel and crush
ed rock entered not only into paving
but construction of bridges and Gull
verts. Altogether there were 81
581, 900 cubic feet of dry materials,
and these made 100000 cubic yards
of concrete. Concrete that has al
ready gone into road making in this
state would make solid mass OF
concrete more than twice as high as
the Ford plant in st. Paul, which
covers approximately 20 acres.
The same material would con-
struct pyramid as high as the great
pyramid of Cheeps, which is 482 feet
