Europe's Art Objects
Really Second Rate?

The treasury of Europe, that vast
litter of the work of their GRANDPA
theirs, which the posters preach, is as
miscellaneous and unequal as a jack
davis swag in the hollow tree, and no
one knows the good from the bad, de
clares William Bolitho in Vanity Fair.
"All artistic criticism" declares this
iconoclast, lis as dead in Europe as
was scientific in the Middle ages. The
same Frenchman who insists that you
do the dusty journey to wind-swept
Versailles to worship the monstrous
palace, where even the impenetrable
stoiidity of an architect who could
make over three hundred yards of
bays in exact repetition cannot dis
guiSe the ill-judged megalomania of
the monarch who insisted that his ia
theirs hunting box should be built
into the center of the largest palace
in the world, will rush you with a
sickly smile past the magnificent and
serene Eiffel tower.
1.-THE grand staircase of the Chateau
of Blois is stuck on and superfiuous;
the greatest German cathedral,
Cologne, is markedly. appallingly out of
scale, too short for its height, and in
stead of that lovely Gothic sensation
of soaring to the heavens, gives the
spectator a dull pain between the
eyes; detailed mention of all instances
that clutter my memory would not ex-
haust the case" Whether good or
bad, he concludes, anything built be-
fore 1910 is reverenced as being ar
tistic.

which was unusually high in 1927,

higher than usual due to the cloud
bursts and heavy rains in many
sections of the state. Snow re-
moval costs wary each year accord
ing to the weather but shoulder re-
pairs usually get much less after
pavements are a year old or two,
so that shoulders are well settlei

The figures on both paved and
unpaved roads cover all expendI-
lures for both roadway and road
side maintenance, snow removal,
marking, etc. To get the actual
cost of gravel road maintenance,
however, a deferred maintenance
charge should be added for lost
gravel. Gravel is washed away In
wet seasons, blown AWAY in dry
seasons, and thrown off the road
by speeding automobiles. In ordi-
nary years enough regraveling is
done by the maintenance forces to
offset this loss, but in 1927 the
regraveling done during the sum
mer did not replace half of the
gravel lost during the long perioe
of wet weather and muddy roads

Maintaining Gravel Roads
Of Minnesota Costs Money
Routes with Lightest Traffic Took
More Money Per Mile Than
Busy Pavements

Maintenance of unpaved state
highways cost from 1923 to ST.
1877 per mile in 1927, according to
figures given out by C. M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner:
Maintenance costs on unpaved
roads with the ligihtest traffic were
heavier than on the pavements, al
though the latter average more
than 1000 vthicles per day.
The figures on costs per mile for
unpaved roads are as follows:
Traffic $50 to 200 cars
per day ...........S 523 70
Traffic POL to 425 cars
per day ,.......... 5554.S7
Traffic 42e to 625 cars
per day !. $50. 80
per day 62s. 40
Traffic S76 to 1850 cars
per day H7.S7
Traffic 1851 to 1850 cars
Traffic Isl to 225o cars
per day 2187. 18
The costs per mile i'm 1927 were
slightly higher than in former
years on the light traffic routes.
This is due mostly to the cost OF
snow removal, which is just as
high and sometimes higher, where
traffic is light. On the routes
with traffic above 1851 cars pei
day, the average per mile was
slightly less than in former years
A number of these routes have
been oiled or tarred and the main
tenance of bituminous treateo
roads averages less than on un
treated gravel roads.
Maintenance of the paved routes
averaged $351.89 in 1927. Thi!
