The new construction in the state
calls for 1887 miles of paving at
cost of $4,566,16O; 339 miles of grad
ing at cost of So, 212,749; 568 miles
of crawling at a cost of $1,013,215,
and 3,649 linear feet of bridges at a
cost of $487,142.
Less Than IL Per cent Unsurfaced
The maintenance division in 1926
has kept daily patrol service on the
entire system, except the portions un-
der construction, and has also main
tanned, in part of the year, 511 miles
of detours. All pavement has had
cracks filled where necessary. 9th
er maintenance work includes
755 miles of reshaping, building
SO miles of detours, scarifying
1913 miles, brushing and clearing 866
miles, moving 588 cubic yards of dirt
In cuts and fills, ditching $4,000 feet
placing 1870 feet of drain tile and
1907 cubic yards of rip-rap, and build
ing $4,000 feet of new guard rail. The
maintenance division also rebuilt 81
bridges, repaired 20 and refloored &c,
placed SAP metal culverts, 100 concrete
culverts and 35 wood culverts. The
crawling, resurfacing, stockpiling and
repairing done by the maintenance di-
vision required 841 900 cubic yards of
gravel.
'The trunk highway system is only
51a years old, and at the end of that
period less than II per cent is unsur-
faced, and practically every mile Of
the system has been kept passable dur
ing the year except during unusual
weather conditions such as we had this
month";" said C. M. Babcock.
Auto Registration Doubled
eff our traffic had remained as it
was in 1921, we would be in good
shape to take care of it. But auto
Mobile registration has doubled in
five years and placed a burden upon
some of our trunk highways which
they are not capable of carrying.
There are few stretches of pave
ment carrying more than 5000 We
hicles per day which should be widen
ed for the accommodation of the traf-
fic,but, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, there is no perceptible
increase with such heavy traffic, and
the need of this widening is not so i'm
mediate.
"Our most pressing problem is the
maintenance and improvement of the
heavier travelled gravel roads. In spite
of the paving we have done, the mile
age of unpaved road carrying more
than the economical limit of 500 cars
per day is increasing instead of de-
creasing. We had at our last traffic !
census 900 miles of unpaved road
carrying more than 1000 cars per
day and $500 miles carrying from 500
facing of about 1000 mile of the most
heavily travelled trunk highways is
particularly urgent, if we want to give
our road users the service to which
they are entitled.
Where Gravel Breaks Down.
"For roads carrying less than 500
cars day, gravel surface is not only
the most economical but it can be kept
in good condition in any ordinary
weather. With traffic from 500 to
1000 cars per day, gravel can be kept
in fair condition in favorable weather
although it breaks down quickly both
in wet weather and in prolonged dry
spells, and the cost, in the long run, is
greater than the cost of pavement.
Mr.. Babcock expects to transmit his
recommendations to the governor and
the legislature shortly after the first
of the year.

That was a mighty tough break not
only for Fred Schultz, but the ST.
Louis Browns as well, when Schultz
crashed into the concrete wall in that
city while chasing a fly ball and suf-
fered injuries that threaten to keep
him out of the game for the rest of
the season.
Schultz, who cost the Browns some
thing like 100000 last year, was just
beginning to show his real ability, and
it seemed as if the club would cash
in richly on the investment
A modest, retiring chap, he was
something of "bust' during the
early games of the year. The big
league seemed to overawe him. He
didn't look much like the star he
had been in the American Association
the previous year.
Then, almost overnight, he seemed
to, become acclimated to the big
league atmosphere and was begin
ming to show why he brought 100000
in the open market.
In one respect-his ability to
play in clOse-SchuIte reminds me
strongly of Iris Speaker, the
greatest OutfieIder that ever
roamed center. field territory in
the majors.
CAN COVER GROUND LIKE IRIS
All big league outfielders can come
in fast on a ball. That is, when
playing deep they find no great diff
( foc ct an cI1nY.t .l1it
fly balls.
However, there is a wide difference
in the ability of the various outfleld-
ers when you consider the other fea-
ture, playing in close, then going out
and getting balls hit over their heads.
In the last 20 years, Schultz is the
only center fielder I have ever seen
i'll the majors who plays in anywhere
nearly as close as Iris Speaker.
Playing in close enables an out
fielder to catch many fly balls that
he would fail to reach if deep. That
is the big advantage of such syS-
tenn. In order to do it,. fielder
must be a good judge of distance,
able to sense direction at the crack
of the bat and have speed to back
him up.
Schultz has all these assets. He
seemed ready to blossom into a q
star. However, the unfortunate
accident he suffered may destroy
some of his confidence, may set
him back.
