Redwood County
Has Good Highways

In Redwood County there are ap.
proximately 1850 miles of design
ated roads which are divided into
four different classes, and are super
vised and controlled under the fol.
lowing heads, viz
Trunk Highways, by the State
Highway Dept;
State Aid Roads, by the State
Highway Dept. and County Board;
County Aid Roads, by the County
Board, and Town Boards;
Township Roads, by the Town
Boards.
The first State Aid road in Red
wood County was designated in 1906;
this was designated as No. /, but as
the Townships along this route re-
fused to cooperate with the County
Board in the building of this road il
was afterwards vacated
The first grading on State Aic
roads was done in 1911, when the
miles, on State Aid road No. 2
north and south through the Town
ship of Morgan, was graded; the
following year the State Road cas-
and west of Redwood was graded.
Crawling on State Aid roads was
started in 1913; in 1916 County haC

and from that year up to the present
time Redwood County has headed the
list of Counties in the State for the

days of that form of transportation
Travellers from and to the Twin
Cities may now step into the bus of
their choice and in many cases with

miles to their destinations.
Mechanical changes have made the
buses used in the longer trips cap
able of maintaining time schedule
of 80 miles an hour and because of
the large number of bus lines in the
state year-around travel is just as
much to be expected as that of rail
transportation.
The bus lines now cooperate in
keeping the roads clear during and
following heavy snowstorms and last
winter, almost without exception, all
lines made their scheduled trips.
Recent government statistics esti-
mate the number of buses in the
world at ISL ,573, or a growth of about
30 per cent in two years.
Much of the growth was registered

Minnesota Has 793
Miles OfPauement

Minnesota this year will have more
than one thousand miles of concrete
rural highways. Today, Minnesota is
in fifteenth position among the states
in mileage of concrete rural high
ways, according to satisfies compiled
by the Portland Cement association.
The mileage in Minnesota and the
states with more pavement follows:
Illinois, 5,463; New York, 1888;
Pennsylvania, 1902; California, 3,S4l;
Michigan, 1850; Wisconsin, 2,2S2; In
diana, 2,2O4; Ohio, 2,l53; North Caro-
lima, 1859; Missouri, 1889; Maryland,
1,1S7; Washington, 1,173; New Jersey,
$50; Virginia, 79S; MINNESOTA,
1893.
West Virginia is sixteenth with 734
and Iowa seventeenth with 500. The
total new concrete rural highway built
in all states in 1926 was 1914 miles,
and the total at the end of the year
was 43,333 miles.
The figures include both trunk and
secondary roads, but no city streets
The Minnesota Highway department
recently announced that there were
s33 miles of pavement in the trunk
highway system, of which $50 miles
is concrete and 90 miles of other
types. Subtracting the trunk highway
concrete from the total concrete in the
state. would leave 50 miles of concrete
on the secondary roads.
The other states enumerated above
all have more or less pavement other
than concrete, but if this were added
it would not probably change the rank
of the states.

CHICAGO, July 80 R-Fight talk
swung from Tex Rickard and Chi
cago officials to public opinion today.
All the principals in the heavyweight
conference except Rickard we're out
of town on weekend outings. and
the fight columns of the papers
were filled with responses TO the
appeal of the South Park board for
expressions Of public opinion. Presi-
dent Edward j. Kelly, of the park
board, which controls the stadium,
said the boards action Monday Oh
the fight question would be deter
mined by the letters from the citi-
zens. These have poured in to the
board and the newspapers by the
thousands. The advocates of the
fight appeared to have a great ma
]ority over the obJectors in the poll
of letters.
Rickard still holds to his assertion
that he has made New York no
promises for the Dempsey-Tunney
fight and that Chicago has much
the best of seeing it.
Organized opposition to the match
seemed to be dwindling over the
weekend, with the announcement
of Attorney j. Kentner Elicit that
he would withdraw his petition for
an injunction against holding the
bout in Soldiers Field.
