GOOD, FAIR, POOR
ROADS ARE DEFINED
BUT HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT
CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE
CHANGED.

Standardized definitions of "good,"
'fair," and poor" roads will here
after be used in the weekly condition
reports of the Minnesota Highway
department, according to a bulletin
received by The Gazette. This is
probably the first attempt made in
any state to put definite meaning
into these terms.
Formerly it has been often mat
ter of personal opinion whether
certain road was good or only fair.
One man might call any road good
if it was better than the roads OF
twenty years ago. Another would
not concede that any road was good
unless it was as smooth and hard as
a pavement. Even the sixteen dis
trict superintendent who furnish the
data upon which the weekly reports
are based, did not always agree.
"The new standards should over
: come the disputes as to the classltl-
cation of any piece of road, but they
will not prevent the sudden changes
which often take place in gravel or
dirt roads," said Commissioner c. M.
Babcock. "a road may be put IN
first class condition during the week
by the maintenance forces, and. by
Sunday afternoon it may be all cut
up by the heavy weekend traffic.
Changes in weather will also change
the surface of some roads very quick
ly. Where travel is light, a gravel
road properly maintained will usual
ly remain good regardless of wealth
er, but where traffic is heavy, the
only road which will be as good on
Sunday as on Wednesday, is the paw
ed road. But the new definitions
should give a fairly clear idea of
the surface of the road under average
conditions"
The terms in the road condition re-
ports are defined as follows:
"Paved" No further description
in needed on hard-surfaced roads ex-
cept in the winter, when they may be
"snow blocked" for short periods.
"Fair." Any road which is narrow,
rough, muddy, sandy, or having any
other condition which makes it nee
essary to go slow, but possible to
continue in high gear with standard
make of car in good average condi-
tion.
"Poor" Any road where it is nee
essary for cars of any standard make
to travel in second or low speed, due
20 road surface. Steep grades, turns,
crossings, etc, which make it neces-
sary to shift or go slow, do not make
road "poor" if the condition is 9th
erwise good.
Impassible" is self-explanatory,
Except that a road where the major
iity of cars get through on their own
power, but an occasional car gets
stuck, is listed as poor" but not i'm
passible.

WALLS CRACK
FROM BLAST
Sacco-Vanzetti Feel
ing Believed Cause
Of Explosion in Hall
OF Records

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 5.-CP)-
A bomb explosion that rocked the
Brooklyn skyscraper district early to-
day cracked the walls and shattered
windows IN the Brooklyn supreme
court building and the Hall of Rec
ords. No one was injured.
In the block adjoining these two
buildings are the new $4,000, 900 mu-
nicipal building, the Borough Hall.
the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute
and the Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hos
pital. The Kings county court house
is located two blocks. None Of these
buildings were damaged.
Windows Shattered.
The bomb exploded In an llleyway
separating the supreme court build
ing and the Hall of Records. Prac-
tically every window on the alleyway
side Of both structures was shatter-
ed. Granite cornices were Clipped
and slight holes and cracks were
blasted az the bases Of the two build
ings, both three story granite struc-
lures.
Discovery of pieces Of an iron pipe
and a spring in the slleyways con-
vinced authorities that the blast
was caused by a time bomb.
Police declined to place response
bility for the explosion, although
their investigation was started on a
theory that it might have been the
work Of Sacco-Varzetti demonstra-
tors.
Suspect Radicals.
The explosion was heard within a
radius of three miles. The bomb was
believed by police TO have exploded
directly under the windows Of the
chambers of Justice James c. Crop
sey and Edward NJ. Riegelnan. Pol
ice said, however. they knew Of no
enemity against the two judges and
no threats were known TO have been
received.
The neighborhood about the build
ings rocked as a dull roar followed
the crack of the bomb. James Flet-
cher, custodian of the Hall of Rec
ords, and his wife were tossed from
their bed on the third floor Of the
building and William Brown, watch
man. was thrown from a chair. Res
idents in Brooklyn Heights, a high
class residential district few blocks
from the blast, were stirred from
sleep.
