Highway Purposes to Be
Taken Over By State
NEW ROUTE FOR NO. 70
Two Railroad Crossings Ov-
er Northern Pacific
Eliminated

Last week j. f. Cooper of this
city with Edward S. Clement of
LeSauk township and Paul Winter
of Albany, acted as board of ap-
praisers to examine several pieces
of real estate on Highways No. 3,
A and %, to adjust the prices to
be paid by the Highway Depart
ment for certain tracts to be tax
en- over and used for Highway pur-
poses. !
The property appraised was
where the state and the property
owner could not get together on
prices to be paid.
The tracts on No. 8 appraised
We're:
Ike Henry, foot of Hoboken
Hill, allowed $4,000; w. Menchow,
across two tracts of land, allowed
81, 400; w. S. O'Brien, Hoboken,
allowed $1,000; John Krebs
estate, allowed $194; VIM. Beste,
allowed $4,000; A. ]. DuBeau,
nine acres of land, allowed $1,000,
besides passageway under high
way for stock.
Anton Nelson, sand pit north
part of city, allowed $275.00;
Rattle & Walker, near filling sta
ton, allowed $4,000; Charles
Crandall, allowed $780,; Alice
Cole, allowed SITS; w. A. Moore,
allowed '$475.00; Elizabeth Fowl
er, allowed $4,000; Bertha Dunn
inert, allowed $4,000; Paulson
farm told McGibbon place., set
tied for $1,000. The house must
be moved so feet to the west.
Good judges of real estate val
ues of the property located in this
section feel that the Board of APP
praisers dealt literally with the
property owners.
In cases where the owners are
not satisfied they have the right of
appeal to the District Court. The
work of construction, will not how
ever, be delayed. t.r:.
The work of grading No. 3 east
from Osakis has practically been
completed to West Union. There
is a strip of about III miles east
of West Union that will remain as
at present located. This road was
built a few years ago. The new
route shortens the distance be-
tween West Union and Osakis two
miles, and also eliminates the
Great Northern crossing at West
Union and Osakis. =.
Nos. a and % north out of
Sank Centre will be changed
slightly. The curve at the corner
where the Highway leaves North
Main street will be made more
accessible and will come back OF
the oil station. When it turns north
at the Charles Crandall home the
curve will be made safer and cas-
Ter. =,
The present route of Nos. a and
28 to the N. P. crossing three
miles northeast of the city will be
abandoned. The two Highways
will leave the present route at a
point north of the Costello nome
and will follow new route. No. 2o
will branch off at a point after
the stub running to the Home
School has been crossed and will
be entirely new construction IN a
straight line to the Paulson farm.
This will eliminate two bad rail-
road crossings over the Northern
Pacific.
The work of grading No. 4 is
progressing quite satisfactorily:
Several crews are working at
various points along the route.
Nolan Brothers of Minneapolis
who have the contract for the
grading of No. A between Sank
Centre and Long Prairie were last
week also awarded the contract
for the building of the short
stretch of new work on No, 20.
