about 5000 miles, or one third of
the trunk highway mileage of the
state, are paved, Gays, eff this
hard-surfacing could have been
located almost wholly on the pri-
mary federal aid system of $500
miles, we would now have some
very excellent through routes in
Wisconsin.
NEARLY everyone is familiar
with the activity of the state of
Illinois in itJ construction of state
of paved roads. We are becoming
acquainted with the wonderful ac-
tivity and awakening of Iowa along
this line. Minnesota is not neg
lecting her opportunities. We
hear with some alarm that it will
soon be Illinois north through
Iowa, on the opposite side of the
Mississippi from Wisconsin, to
other Fairgrounds of the middle
west. We may soon discover that
we are no longer living on the
main road but that someone has
built road around US, without the
least consideration of our interest
or feelings"

STATES BOOST GAS TAX

The beginning of the year 1928
raw increases in the gas tax from
8 to A cents taking effect in two
states, Arizona and New Hamp-
shire. The Arizona legislation was
passed in August. In New Hamp-
shire the rate was increased from
to cents early in 1927 and the
special session in November boost
ed the rate another cent.
This makes twelve states which
have four cent gas tax, while six
states have a higher tax, one hav-
ing a a " cent rate and five having
a five cent tax.
Fourteen states have the three
cent tax and one state has 3 "
This maker a total of thirty-three
states which have a gas tax of
three cents or more.
Twelve states besides Minnesota
have a two cent tax. Only two
states, New York and Macsachus-
etts, have no gas tax.

Rivalry for Paving from
Mimi. to Chicago is Keen
Badger Highway Magazine Fears
Traffic to Minnesota May Go
Around Wisconsin

When and where will the flint
Twin Cities to Chicago pavement
be completed? This question is be-
ing discussed with interest in Min
nesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Iowa. In the latter two states,
there is keen interest as to which
of them will have the first COM
pleted route. In Minnesota the in
terest extends far beyond the Twin
Cities, for when paved route is
completed it will not be merely a
TwinIC itie-lChicago pavement,
but it will furnish continuous
hard-surface roads from such
points as Sank Centre, Brainerd,
Grand Rapids, Hibbing, Virginia,
Duluth, Belle PLANE, Owatonna,
and other cities on the Minnesota
pavements, all the way to the At
lantic coast.
Progress Il being made on three
main routes, U. S. No. IL via Eau
Claire and Madison, U. S. Nos. 81
and 16 via La Crosse and Mil
waukee, and U. S. No. 55, via
Rochester, Mimi, and Dubuque, Ia.
On the first of these routes, the
stretch from st. Paul to Hudson
is under contract for 1928. Thu,
route is paved between Hudson
and Eau Claire, except about IL
miles. From Eau Claire to Madi-
son, 1913 miles, is nearly all grav-
ell, but east of Madison it is near
ly all concrete.
On the second route, the Min
mel ota end from st. Paul to La
Crosse, is about two-thirds paved,
the balance being gravel, nearly
all oiled or tarred. Through Wis
consin the western half of this
route is nearly all gravel and the
eastern half paved.
On the Rochester Dubuque
route, there is pavement from
both St. Paul and .Minneapolif to
Pennington. Pennington to Can
non Falls will be paved in 1928
leaving 105 miles in Minnesota un-
paved. From the Minnesota line
to Dubuque on this route is 124
miles. With the present activity
in road building in Iowa, it is pos
sible that this rtretch will be paved
within two or three years. In Il
linois this route is all paved.

In some sections of the Central

being manufactured is showing a
slight increase, although fluctua-

season of the year vary largely on
account of weather conditions. Re-

FORD PLANES HAVE
MORE HORSEPOWER
Adoption of New Type of Engine
Brings Total to 1880 and
Increases Speed

The all-metal, three engined Ford
horsepower. The newest product of the
Stout Metal Airplane Factory, a divi-
sion Of the Ford Motor Co., has dropped
the three Whirlwind engines, which
total eco horsepower. and taken on
three Pratt &, Whitney Wasp 420-horse-
power power plants. The Ford now
ranks with two powerful passenger
transports produced in this country
Fokker and Boeing.
In adopting the increased horsepower,
which totals 1900 the Ford engineers
had to make several changes. These
include new wing. with a span of 10
feet, an increase of 4 feet over the
other type The increased horsepower
gives an increased passenger capacity,

CURTISS PRODUCING
new PLANE ENGINE
six-Cylinder, Air-Cooled, Radial
Power Plant Will Develop
ITO Horsepower.

The Curtiss Aeroplane a. Motor Co.
Inc, of Garden City, N. Y, interna-
tionally known as builders of airplanes
and engines for the Government air
services, has made another advance in
the commercial field with a new six
cylinder air-cooled radial engine, de-
veloping ITO horsepower at 1900 revo-
lutions per minute. The first overture
occurred several months ago. with the
construction of the Robin" q two
passenger and pilot cabin monopane,
which is to sell at popular prices"
The new commercial engine, known
as the Challenger" differs in design
from the usual single-row air-cooled
radial engine. Its six cylinders are
staggered in arrangement on a two
throw crankshaft, and is equivalent to
two three-cylinder engines mounted
end TO end. This arrangement. accord
ing TO Curtiss engineers, provides for
possible with usual radial types, and
makes the engine exceptionally smooth
running
The engine is intended to fill the
great demand for a reliable CONNER
cial powerplant Of medium power and
for installation in two or three passen-
ger airplanes Of either the open cock
pit or cabin types. The bore of the
cylinders Is 5ls inches and the stroke
is Az inches: the diameter is 42ss
inches and the displacement is 603
cubic inches. The engine weighs 420
pounds.
The first Challenger engine, in adj
dition to passing the standard 50-hour
block test, has been flown for more
than 100 hours under all kinds of fly
ing conditions and to date has required
no maintenance. The first production
engines will be available December h.
They are being made at the Buffalo
plant of the Curtis company
Owing to the shortage of variety
Of reliable and comparatively inexpen-
sive aircraft engines for commercial
planes, the advent of a new power
plant on the market creates widespread
interest among the various manufac-
turers. who have been relying on the
now rapidly-diminishing supply of 90
horsepower OX-5 eight-cylinder water
copied war-built engines.
