Trunk and Local
Highways Are Related
inadequate State Routes Result In
Damage to Town and County
Roads, Babcock Says

That adequate trunk highways
are benefit to all the people of
the state, even to the few who new
er use them,~ is being proven by
happenings this spring, according
TO g. M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner. The reverse is also
true, he says in statement to the
Herald for failure to make the
trunk highways adequate to the
traffic they carry, throws trunk
highway traffic onto other roads,
seriously damaging them and in
creaslng the cost of maintenance
for the local units.
The purpose of the trunk high
way system was to relieve the
counties and townships of the cost
OF maintaining roads for through
traffic. Where there is paved
road, or where a gravel road is
adequate to the traffic, the through
traffic naturally takes the trunk
highway. But traffic has grown SO
rapidly that many of the unpaved
roads, which were adequate to the
traffic of five years ago, are not
adequate now. We had numerous
instances this spring where local
roads with lighter traffic, were in
fair condition until the heavier
traffic broke down the trunk high
way, then this traffic turned to the
local roads and in a short time
these also became impossible.
In one case we were asked to
pay for the repair of town road
which had been damaged by
through traffic during a period
when the trunk highway became
impossible. We could not legally
pay the bill, but it showed us
what is going to happen if trunk
highway improvements do not keep
pace with the growth in traffic. .
Even in the summer when the
trunk highways are dry but rough
dusty or overcrowded, some of the
traffic overflows onto the second
airy routes.
Cali our roads are part of a
system, and we should not i'm
prove one part and neglect the
other, but improve all parts of the
system as rapidly as possible. But
the quickest and most economical
way to do this, and at the same
time serve the greatest number OF
people, is to improve the routes
with the heaviest traffic.
Road costs must be considered
on the basis Of the cost per vehicle
per mile. On gravel road main
tenance increases directly with the
traffic. When traffic reaches 500
cars per day, it becomes more eco
nomical to pave. Having paved a
road, you not only eliminate the
big maintenance bill you can in
crease the traffic up to 5000 or
more cars per day, with practical
ly no increase in maintenance cost
and no apparent increase in the
wear on the pavement.
"We cannot pave all the roads,
not even all the trunk highways,
for a long time. But each stretch
of pavement not only cuts our
maintenance bill but it relieves
other routes. Suppose there are
several optional routes between
two towns. If none is paved, traf-
fic is distributed over all of them
and in periods like last April, all
of them are badly damaged. But
if one is paved, it gets all the
through traffic in wet weather, and
the greater part of the traffic at

Monday of this week John Rue
sold 60 acres of his farm south
east of Sank Centre to Senator Ig.
Lemm, of Melrose, and the new
owner will fence the property at
once and embark in muskrat
farming.
The land IS very moist all the
time and is ideally suited for the
purpose of muskrat propagation.
1t is situated about one-fourth mile
southeast of Mccormick lake. Mr..
Lemm is confident that it is the
real habitat of the muslrat fam
lily.
The increasing scarcity of fur
bearing animals has caused the
prices for pelts to soar high as the
demands tof lady furs for coats is
becoming more insistent.
During the past few years a
number of fur farms have been
developed in Minnesota and Sen
ator Lemm is convinced that his
venture will prove profitable. The
land will be suitably fenced at
once. There are several hundred
muskrat houses on the tract, and
who can tell, mayhap the Senator
will be sure enough fur baron in
a few years.
