posed as a labor spy, according to
information given out by A. Jakira,
district organizer of the Workers
(Communist) Party of District 5.
De Lacroce, who residence is at

He was under surveillance by COM
mittee of the Workers Party for sew

Virginia, Ohio and Penn. for the last
few years. Last year he spent most
of his time in and around Pittsburgh,

posed as a bootlegger and as an
agent, but all along was engaged in
spying on the miners. He visited
various labor meetings and was re-
porting to coal company detective

Road Men Cannot Tow
Stranded Cars This Year
Closing Bad Stretches Will Hasten
Time When They Will Be
Good, Says Babcock

There will be no towing OF
automobiles through bottomless
roads by maintenance men during
the spring breakup this year, ac-
cording to C.. M. Babcock, com
missioner of highways. Whenever
any stretch of road goes to pieces
signs will be posted informing trav-
elers that the road is impossible,
and use of the road stopped un-
till it can dry.
Mr.. Babcock says that exper-
fence has shown that such action
will not only save the highways
but it will be giving better SER
vice to the public. Soft roads will
usually be in good condition after
a few days of sun and wind, if left
unused, but pulling traffic through
and cutting up the muddy stretch
es will prolong the period of i'm
passable roads.
AS to how bad roads will he
this spring, Mr.. Babcock does not
venture guess. The roads are
generally in better condition than
they were at this date year ago.
They were in fair condition when

Township in Todd to
Get County Road Aid
Todd County Applies State Aid
Plan to Improvement of Local
Highways

A system of county aid which
is expected to do for the town
roads what the state aid system is
doing for county roads, was adopt
ed Last week by the Todd county
board. Each town board may des-
ignate certain of its most travelled
roads as county aid roads. The
designation is to be approved by
the county board, for the purpose
of securing uniformity, and to the
end that the roads from one town
ship may lead into another, thus
developing road system. The
county aid roads will be built un-
der the supervision of the county
engineer, and the towns will be re-
quired 10 maintain them just as the
counties are required to maintain
the state aid roads.
"This is the system which has
given the county such excellent
roads the last few years and
which, within five or six years, will
give us a county road system that
VIII equal in quality and perma-
nency the state roads of the coun-
ty," says the Long Prairie Leader.
at is surprising as well dis
heartening to look over the tax
books and find the enormous
amount of money raised by the
townships each year for township
roads and then go out and find
how few are the road building re-
suits obtained. The townships OF
Todd county have raised in the
neighborhood of $4,000 per year
for the past seven years with
which to build town roads. The
county itself has raised an aver.
age of only $4,000 per year more
yet the county has $50 miles OF
splendid road built and improved
to highway standards, while so fan
as we can recall there is not q
mile of such road built by any
township.
"The reason for the inability OF
the townships to get real value fol-
the road money they spend is that
the money is not spent to build g
few miles of a good road each
year. There is no such thing as 6
township system of roads. A few
hundred dollars are spent here anC
a few hundred dollars somewhere
else. There is no definite or regu.
lar system of maintenance Of
township roads. There is dragging
of course but no system of main.
tenance. The result is that the
little repairs made here and there
are lost for lack of maintenance
Nothing deteriorates so fast as g
non-maintained road. The result
is that year after year the town.
ships go on spending thousands Of
dollars and then have to spend
other thousands of dollars follow.
ing years over practically the same
roads. That is, there is no per.
manency. The system is wasteful
extravagant, and involves enor'
nous losses"
The new plan, says The Leader
'Is one of the longest steps in the
direction of efficiency as well as
economy in road construction that
the county has ever undertaken

in the fall of 1926 they were soak
ed 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.
"We always have some impass-
able stretches on the unpaved
roads when the frost goes out,
no matter how dry the spring be-
he says. with plenty of sun and
wind and not too much rain or
snow, we may have only a few i'm
passable 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 feel
the effect first, but even roads
which are heavily graveled and
thoroughly compacted cannot
stand the heavy traffic which
some routes carry.
load restrictions will be used
on roads that are in fair shape
but in danger of serious damage
iby heavy loads. Roads which are
badly cut up will be closed to all
traffic whenever it appears that
doing so will hasten the time when
they will be back in good condi-
ton.
maintenance men have instruc-
tons to avoid wasting money in
trying to fill mudholes which can.
not be filled. Last year a great
deal of money was spent hauling
gravel and cinders to fix poor
spots and make roads passable. In
many cases the material sank into
the mud and did no good. In
other cases filling one hole so that
traffic started moving only de.
veloped other bad spots"
