go Slow is SAFE RULE


Oiling, tarring, regraveling and
various other repair work and inn
provements are in progress on
many routes in the trunk highway
system, according to a bulletin
from the State Highway depart
ment. The bulletin cautions driv-
ers to go carefully when travelling
on highways where work is in
progress, or there is new gravel or
oil and tar.
With the heavy and constantly
growing travel on all the state
routes demands for repair work be-
come more frequent. Besides the
regular maintenance by the local
section men, which is in progress
on all roads the year around the
heavy traffic makes it necessary to
do extra work, such as regraveling,
reshaping, scarifying and bitumin-
Gus treatment, on many Of the
routes. Approximately one third
of the unpaved routes will have
special maintenance of one kind or
other this summer.
All this work will be done with
out closing any of the roads, and
the department tries to do the work
so as to interfere with traffic as
little as possible. Signs placed well
in advance call attention to the
work. Drivers who rush through
fresh oil or tar or new gravel with
out slowing up may come to grief,
but if they will drive moderate
speed and use reasonable caution
there should be no trouble.

Council Proceedings
Regular Meeting

Regular monthly meeting of the
Common Council of the City of
Sank Centre held Wednesday, June
5th, 1929 at 500 o'clock p. M. with
all the members in attendance.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
John j. Costello, to whom was
awarded the contract for con-
crete bridge connecting the two
parks, appeared before the Council
and advised them that on account
OF the excessive high water, he
would be unable to construct this
bridge for the agreed price of $40.
The matter was referred to the
Park Committee to ascertain what
a wood structure would cost as
funds would not warrant greater
price required for the concrete
structure.
The committee appointed to de-
wise ways and means for the dispos-
al Of garbage reported that B. o.
Vogel had agreed to take care of
the garbage in the business district
providing the business houses
would provide two recepticles, one
for garbage that would be used for
hog feed and one for rubbish, glass,
papers, cans etc., but had no def
mite export to make as the number
of business houses that would avail
themselves of this arrangement.
The Council voted $1170O to de-
fray the expenses of the delegates
to the State Firemen Convention at
Austin.
The Clerk reported having drawn
orders No. 5037 to No. 5O46 inclus-
i've in payment of the regular bills
and fixed charges, and such action
was confirmed.

Butter Prices Are 10 Cent
Lower Than Week Ago
Egg Market Erratic, Demand Poor;
Live and Dressed Poultry
Declines

Production of butter is about
normal for this season of the year
showing slight increase over the
same week last year.
Pastures generally are in fine con-
dition, although few localities are
in need of rain. Receipts on the
principal consuming markets were
very liberal and prospects are they
will continue to be for some time.
Trading lacked the briskness of
the previous week. Consumption
showed noticeable decline because
of the extremely warm weather.
The market showed some weaken
ing but was sustained by some out
side speculative buying and heavy
storing.
Chicago butter market on 80
Score Standards is quoted at AZ
cents, which is half cent lower as
compared with last Monday. New
York 90 Score Extras are 43h
cents.
The New York egg market the
past week was somewhat cratic,
developing a weakness the first few
days because of the heavy re-
ceipts and hot weather cutting
down the demand This caused
storage stocks to accumplate more
rapidly than a year. ago. Produc-
ton is not decreasing as rapidly
as last year in the Central West.
The demand for fancy quality eggs
is fair, but ordinary quality stock
has been difficult to move.
Chicago egg market on Firsts
is quoted at 281a to 80 cents, as
against 20 cents a week ago. New
York Firsts are quoted at 30h
cents.
Live fowl situation in New York
is now on more stable basis al
though situation was very unset
tied in the forepart of the week
caused by liberal receipts and very
little demand due to the extremely
hot weather. With the cooler
weather the latter part of the week,
the demand increased and by Fri
day the market was firm at present
quotations and stocks were pretty
Well cleaned up.
Live broilers have been in free
supply in cars. There has been an
increased proportion of good quail
ity stock. The demand for broilers
was very good and has been used
considerably in helping the sale of
fowl.
Dressed fowl showed a further
decline during the past week and
it is felt that the present price
level is about satisfactory.
The Chicago poultry market to-
day is as follows: Leghorn fowl

weights "a ", leghorn broilers 26

Regular Maintenance Will
Save the Bridges of State
Inspection, Painting and Repairs
Preserve Structures on State
Highways

Every week is "Paint-up Week" in
the bridge division of the Minneso-
ia Highway department. When
ever weather permits, from early
spring until late fall, crew of
men is at work painting bridges
somewhere in the trunk highway
system.
It is not just a matter of looks,
although Commissioner G. M. Bah
cock likes to keep his roads and
bridges looking nice and neat. But
the main purpose is to prevent rust
and decay and keep the bridges
safe for travel. =
The original paint on the steel
beams and trusses may last six to
eight years, possibly ten if it is a
three coat job. Then if the bridge
is not reprinted, rust may eat
through the beams within five or
six years so that the bridge be-
comes unsafe for heavy loads. If
painting is done regularly, the
bridge may last the proverbial
"three score and ten" Crystaliza-
ton of the steel usually begins to
weaken the steel after sixty or
seventy years use. Some bridges,
however, become obsolete before
that time. This is especially true
of those built for wagon traffic.
Many of the bridges taken into the
trunk highway system in 1921 have
proven too narrow for the increas-
ed traffic and others were not
strong enough for big loads.
Many others, however, are still
in good condition and good for
many years of service. All bridges
in the system have regular inspec-
ton by an experienced engineer.
Repair work is done either by reg
ularly employed crews or by spec
ial contract. From 1921 to 1928 a
total of 32,525 lineal feet of bridges
were painted at an average cost Of
$1.14 per foot. Total bridge main
tenance expenditures in this period
were $579,152 an average of S11 or
