THIRTY-THREE DAYS
OF ZERO WEATHER
Mercury Drops to rs Degrees
Below on January End for
Winters Coolest Day.

The winter of 1927-1928 which is
now drawing to close has been more
disagreeable in some respects than
any other winter for many years. It
is generally conceded that the wealth
er has been very near that of the old
time winters for there has been a
great amount of sub-sero weather,
much snow and many days of high
winds resulting in severe billiards..
December was month of almost con-
tinual sub-zero weather. North of
here the snow was heavier than at
this point. At certain times railway
traffic was seriously interferred with
and for many times highways were
blocked, until the snow plows could
be placed in service.
The winter was of the kind that
made great inroads into the coal piles
in the bins and in many instances
people who put in their usual supply
of fuel last year have been compelled
to order more. Fires were started in
many homes about the middle of Sep
tember.
AS early as the 18th of November
the mercury dropped below the zero
mark, on this date it touched two be-
low for the only day in November to
below zero. However, early in De-
cember the mercury dropped be-
low and there were eighteen days in
the month when sub-zero weather ex-
listed.
On January End the coolest day of
the year was registered, this being
25 degrees below zero with 10 days
in this month being at zero or below.
In February there were five days be-
low, the coldest coming on February
18th at degrees below. So far in
March there has been no zero weather
but the possibilities for such are not
past.
The following table shows the
dates on which there was sub-zero
weather in Redwood Falls according
to figures compiled by N. B. Ander-
sen:

NO TOWING CAR BY
ROAD men IN 1928
Closing Bad Stretches Will Has
ten Time when They Will
Be Good, Says BabcOck.

There will be no towing of auto
mobiles through bottomless roads by
maintenance men during the spring
breakup this year. Whenever any
stretch Of road goes to pieces, signs
will be posted informing travellers
that the road is impossible, and
use of the road stopped until it can
dry.
Mr.. Babcock says that experience
has shown that such action will not
only save the highways but it will be
giving better service to the public.
Soft roads will usually be in good
condition after few days Of sun ana
wind, if left unused, but pulling traf-
fic through and cutting up the muddy
stretches will prolong the period of
impossible roads.
AS to how bad roads will be this
spring, Mr.. Babcock does not venture
guess. The roads are generally in
better condition than they were at
this date a year ago. They were in
fair condition when the freeze-up
came last fall, while in the fall of
1926 they were soaked by rain and
snow before they were frozen. There
is less snow on the roadsides and in
the bitches than at this time last
year.
1--WE always have some impossible
stretches on the unpaved roads when
the frost goes out, no matter how
dry the spring may be-" he says.
with plenty sun and wind and not
too much rain or snow, we may have
only few impossible stretches, but
if we get much precipitation and no
drying weather between showers, we
may have worse roads than last
spring. New grades which have not
been thoroughly compacted usually

AIRPORT FOR CITY
DISCUSSED AT MEET
Regular Monthly Meeting of
Commercial Club Brings Out
Many Issues of Value.

Many matters of interest and i'm
portance were presented and dis
cussed at the regular meeting OF the
Redwood Falls Commercial Club held
at the local club rooms on Monday
night, March 18th. This was the first
meeting of the club held on the new
meeting night which was changed
from the first Monday of the month
to the second Monday. Approximate
ly thirty members were present OF
which President Freyer presided.
A resolution adopted by the Leg
islative committee was approved as
read. The resolution concerned the
bills before the house and senate
wherein it is proposed that section
of the Revised Statues of the U. 5.
be amended SO as to permit and auth
orize several states to tax the shares
of the National banks, the same rate
as such taxes are now imposed upon
State Banks. 1t was resolved that
Minnesota congressman and senators
be urged to use their best efforts to
secure passage of some legislation
which will authorize states to tax
national banks upon the same basis as
the state banks are taxed.
w. S. Brammer, chairman OF the
transportation committee, spoke at
length in regard to the trucking SER
vice in Redwood Falls and further
urged that the club try to get more
trucking running out of the city, al
so that the establishment of whole
sale distributing agents in Redwood
Falls would be benefit to the city.
Mr.. Brammer also touched the mat
ter of an air port for the city of Red
wood Falls. President F'reyer and
Alvin Huhnerkoch, a Redwood Falls
man interested in aviation, supple
mented Mr.. Brammer's talk on avla-
ton with other thoughts in regard to
the subject. A committee was ap-
pointed known as the airport Com
mittee" to look into the matter OF
field and to secure any other infor-
nation that could be had on the sub
ject of aviation.
A letter was read by the secretary
which came from the offices OF the
State Game and Fish Commission
which stated that they (the Commits
sion) would use all means to rid Lake
Redwood of the rough fish. This
movement was instigated by Game
Warden j. Albert johnson.
An issue of no little concern to
the people of Redwood Falls was that
of solicitors. The people of the city
are urged to be sure that the solicit
or's card is of recent date and those
without cards or with cards of back
date should be given no considera-
ton.
