MINNESOTA LISTED
666,298 MOTOR CARS
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC GROWS
RAPIDLY BUT ROAD FUNDS ARE
CUT IN SEVERAL WAYS-FUND
FURTHER CUT BY AMENDMENT
NO. 1.

Registration of motor vehicles in
Minnesota reached 666, 298 on Novem-
Der l. This is 20,433 more than at the
same date in 1927. In spite of this
increase, however, the receipts in the
trunk highway fund from license fees
were $97,853 less than for the same
months in 1927. Reduced rates on
trucks caused the decrease.
Registration in 1921 was 1872, $50, so
the increase in seven years is 1908
per cent. The traffic count made by
the State Highway department in
August, 1928, however showed an in
crease of 1876 per cent over the traffic
in the summer of 1921. This does not
represent the full increase in the wear
and tear on the highways, Fall, win
ter and spring driving have increased
much more than summer traffic, for
the tendency is more and more for car
owners to drive the year around High
er average speed of all vehicles and
a larger proportion of heavy trucks
have also added to the burden on the
highways.
The decrease in auto license fees is
not the only cut in trunk highway re-
ceiptS Due to a ruling which gave
the Oil companies sixty instead of
thirty days to make gas tax settle
ments, the department lost whole
months gas taxes in 1927, making the
receipts for that year less than the re-
ceiptS for 1926. The increase in gas
consumption may bring the 1923 total
slightly over the 1927 figure, in spite
of the decrease in motor vehicle fees,
but the net increase, if any, will not
be anywhere proportionate to the
traffic increase.
One third of the gas tax receipts
will go into the State road and bridge
fund from the date the adoption of
the amendment is officially proclaimed.
If the Legislature increases the gas
tax, it may be six months before the
new rate goes into effect. For this
reason a four cent gas tax will yield
the trunk highway fund no more
money in 1929 than two cent tax
produced in 1928. With a two or
three cent tax, the trunk highway
fund will receive less in 1929 than it
received in any year since 1925.
In the meantime traffic goes on in
creasing Commissioner G. NJ Babcock
is placed in a position similar to that
of farmer trying to take care of

LAKE-COOK COUNTY BOARDS
ASK DELAY IN BILL PASSAGE.
The Boards of County Commissioners of the Two Counties
Give Reasons and Pass Resolutions Protesting Passage
of Shpstead-Newton Bill at this time-Endorse Super
Tor National Forest Policy for Timber Cutting.

Declaring for delay in action of the
Shipstead-Newton bill and indorsing a
raise of l cent per gallon in the gaso-
line tax to give the highway commits
sion needed funds, members of the
Lake and Cook county boards took
action on a number of matters affect
ing the two counties at a conference
at Illgen City Sunday afternoon.
The meeting had full attendance
of citizens of Lake and Cook counties
State Senator Charles E. Adams of
Duluth and Representative Warren E.
Hastings of Two Harbors we're among
the lawmakers present Commissioner
August Omtvedt of Lake County was
chairman of the meeting, and Paul
Nelson, county auditor was secretary.
A resolution was adopted at the
meeting instructing local representa-
tives to the legislature to vote in favor
of an increase in the state gas tax.
The amount of the increase was not
suggested, but it is generally believed
that they want 1t increased / cent per
gallon in order that Commissioner
Babcock may have the same income
which he would have had had the
gas tax amendment been defeated at
the recent election.
Would Merge Townships.
Senator Adams and Representative
Hastings were instructed to draft leg
islation which would permit the con-
solidation of township units Lake
county voted at the last election to
consolidate the school units of the
county as an economy measure and
now both Lake and Cook counties
want to abolish the town units for
the same reason.
The meeting also went on record
as favoring the proposed state $780,
100000 bond issue for the construc-
ton of state trunk highways The
meeting felt that nothing should be
done to cripple the present plan of
Commissioner Babcock in connection
with state highway construction, i'm
provements and maintenance.
There was considerable discussion in
connection with the much talked-of
Shipstead- Newton bill pertaining to
the setting aside of large areas in
Lake and Cook counties for what
would amount to park purposes. The
objection expressed at the meeting
was due to the fact that the commits
sionerS of both Lake and Cook be-
lieved that it took in too much terri
tory and would tend to stife develop
ment of industry and, therefore, the
following resolution was adopted:
Border Park Resolution.
"At joint meeting of the county
commissioners of Lake and Cook
counties held at Ilgen City in Lake
county on the 25th day Of November,
1928, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:

WAL TER NAPPA WINS
"U'' DIVING HONORS

Here is what the Minnesota Daily
says about the Varsity Freshmen
Swimming Meet held at the Univer-
Sity of Minnesota, November 16, 1923
under the caption of BEST Diving Ex-
hibition ever seen in University Pool"
The highlight of the program was
the brilliant exhibition of diving Ac-
cording to Coach Thorpe the diving
performances were the greatest ever
seen in the Armory Pool.
The event was won by Walter Nappa
of the Versity Team. A sensational
Freshman, Eller was second to Nappa.
The fact that Nappa's dives were of
a greater difficulty than Eller's
brought him first honor Great things
are expected from Nappa in the flu
ture.
Nappa graduated from the Ely High
School in June 1927 he won the State
High School Championship in diving
the same year.
Coach Thorpe of the University Of
Minnesota placed Nappa at the head
of the list in his all state selection in
diving in 1927 and accredited Nappa
as being the best diver ever developed
in Minnesota High Schools.
Nappa is pupil of Max Herseth
one of the outstanding swimming
coaches of the northwest.
