Stearns Receives $37,540
Aid for Secondary Roads
$30,041 Paid in-Hennepin, Ram
sey and St. Louis Contribute
A Per Cent of Fund

When the Legislature of 1897
submitted constitutional amend
ment permitting the levying of
a mill for a state road and bridge
fund, the members probably did
not realize that thirty years later
this fund would amount to nearly
$2,000,000, and that it would be
distributed not for use on primary
but on secondary roads. Yet this
year the total state aid fund
amounts 10 81, 978, 200 and Stearns
county will receive $37,540. The
allotment was made last week by
Julius A. Schmahl, state treasurer,
Ray P. Chase, state auditor, and
c. M. Babcock, commissioner of
highways, who constitute the high
way allotment board.
The growth of the fund is due
partly to the increased property
valuation and partly to the increase
in the tax rate, this having been
raised at various times to Ito
mills, IA mill and one mill, the
last by the r. C. Dunn amendment
in 1912. The adoption of the
trunk highway plan, proposed by
Mr.. Babcock, has made the state
aid fund available for secondary
roads since 1921.
Three counties, Hennepin, Ram
sey and st. Louis, contribute A
per cent of the State aid fund, or
$4,000. Their allotment is
$135, 900, or $4,000 each. Thir-
teen counties with Ia comparatively
high valuation will get the same
amount as they contribute, and II
counties will receive allotments
considerably. larger than the
amount they pay into the fund.
Stearns county's contribution, in
the form of a 1 mill tax, is $780,
Al.
Special allotments to aid in spec
flied projects, were made as fol-
lows:
Aitkin, bridge over Mississippi
river at Jacobson, $4,000.
Beltrami, special aid, $4,000.

The lare est crowd ever gathered

fistic encounter was a number of
years back when Jack Dillon met
Frank Klaus. 1t was estimated
10000 witnessed the battle. Accord
ing to the promoters of the Chuck

be staged at the ball yard Thurs

to a crowd that will run the old

Interest in the coming scrap is
not confined to indianapolis alone.
Fight fans from Terre Haute, Num-
Gle, Fort Wayne, Evansville and
smaller surrounding towns have'
sent in requests for tickets.
Stribling, who has a record of
having engaged in $50 battles, with
70 of the number knockouts to his
credit, is one of the few fighters in
the country who never has been
knocked out.
The records of both Stribling and
Virgins for last year show that the
visiting boxer has the edge on his
Indianapolis opponent.

ounce of it to advantage. He worked
much after the manner Of Herb

about the same repertoire.
