KEEPING HIGHWAYS
OPEN COSTS MONEY
Three Months Snow Fall Gives
State 20 Inch Blanket.-Extra
Gas Tax Pays Removal Bill.

The Minnesota Highway department
spent $4,000 for snow removal in
January, February and March, 1926,
$4,000 in November and $11S,00O in
December. With $4,000 spent for
snow fence, this makes a total of
1926, 900 for snow fighting during 1926
with the snow removal costs almost as
great in December as the total for
the rest of the~year.
This includes only major operations
by trucks and tractors, and materials
and supplies. 1t does not include the
work done by the regular patrol men.
Their per diem for November amount
ed to $4,000 and may reach this
amount for December when all &C
counts are in. Not all of their work,
however, was snow removal, as much
of their time in November was devoted
to smoothing the road surface, clean
ing bitches and culverts and other
work in preparation for winter.
The total snow fighting bill for
the winter of 1926-27 will probably
exceed 100000, but any figure would
be only guess because no one can
foretell weather conditions for the
| remainder of the winter. Commits
sioner C. M. Babcock, however, states
that he believes the expense is justi-
| fled by present traffic. The additional
gas tax which comes in will more
than pay the cost of keeping the roads
open. The tax on December ship
ments was $296,17S and the smallest
for any month since the tax was
| established was 1851, $40, in March
1925. If the trunk roads were not
kept open, driving during the present
| winter would be confined largely te
the cities, and the gas tax woule
| probably be cut in half during the
winter months. Car owners who dc
not drive in winter pay no gas tax
Mr.. Babcock adds, and therefore dc
not contribute to the cost of winter
/ maintenance.
