SHORTER HIGHWAYS
SAVING MILLIONS
Many Miles Eliminated From
State Trunk Routes by RelOca-
ton and Strengthening.

A saving of $5,0OO,OOO is being made
to motorists of Minnesota this year
by elimination of crooked and round
about stretches of trunk highway, &C
cording to figures compiled by the
Minnesota Highway department. A
bulletin issued by the department
gives some interesting figures on mile
ages of routes Through andy near
Pine county.
A total reduction of $40 miles has
been made in the seventy routes in
the trunk highway system, according
to the bulletin. In some cases routes
have been entirely relocated between
two points, while in other cases they
have merely been Strengthened by TAX
ing out long turns and sharp corners.
But since the average route, as shown
by the traffic census, carries little
over 1000 vehicles per day, the de-
partment figures that cutting out $40
miles saves road users 100000 We
hicle miles every day. Allowing for
the drop in traffic in winter, this still
makes a saving of 64,S00,000 vehicle
miles for the year. At eight cents a
mile, the cost of running the average
car, this means a net saving of $5,-
1874, 900 a year.
This saving, however, is believed
to be a small item compared to the
total saving to motorists through i'm
proved highways. A saving of two or
three cents a mile, the difference be-
tween cost of running a car on good
road and on a poor one, counts up to
lot of money in a year. Then there
is the saving in time, as well as the
safety factor, brought about by max
ing roads straighter, reducing steep
grades, removing grade crossings and
making roads wider.
