WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER II, 1880
Minnesota Firms
Get Cement Orders
Contracts Let for 1881 Highway
Paving Needs-Three-Fifths
to be Made in State

Nearly three-fifths of the cement to
be used in the 1881 trunk highway
paving program will be made in
Minnesota" C. M. Babcock, commits
sioner of highways, said in announc-
ing the letting of contracts for next
years paving needs. Following its
usual custom, the department is buy
ing the entire years supply at one
time. Cement for paving is purchas-
ed directly by the state, the contract
ors furnishing all other material.
Cement purchases are made when
ever the market appears to be favor
able. Last year the cement bids were
taken in October. AS a further pro-
lection to the state, the contracts con-
tain a provision that if open market
prices go down, the state will get the
benefit, but if they go up, the con-
tract price will govern. The possible
effect on unemployment is an added
reason for buying now, Mr.. Babcock
stated.
Bids were opened Nov. 25 on $685.
982 barrels of cement. Separate bids
were received on stated amounts to
be delivered at AZ stations. Low bids
ranged from $1.92 to 1927 per bar
rel, delivered in bulk in carload lots
at specified stations. Freight rates
from the plant to the project are
largely responsible for the variations.
The average net cost of cement will
be $8,O25 per mile of 20 foot pave
ment.
The Universal Atlas Cement Co.,
which has a factory at Duluth, was
awarded contracts for 7,906 barrels.
The Cutler-Magner Company, which
ships by boat and owns warehouses
at Duluth, will furnish 175,237 bar
rels. Cement for all projects in
northern and central Minnesota will
come from these two firms. Cement
for projects in the extreme southern
part of the state will come from the
following plants, Lehigh Cement Co.,
Mason City, Iowa, 83,74O barrels;
Ash Grove Lime and Cement Co.,
Omaha, 23,708 barrels, Northwestern
States Cement Co., Mason City, 75,-
925 barrels; Dewey Cement Co., Dav
export, Iowa, 23,626 barrels; Pen
Dixie Cement Co., Des Moines, Iowa,
44,813 barrels.
The cement purchased is sufficient
for 247 miles of paving, which is all
than can be built with the present
income of the department. Contracts
were let November II for sc miles
and bids opened December 9 for 100
miles. Bids will be called for on an
additional 81 miles within a few
weeks. If Congress or the Legisla-
ture should provide additional funds,
further contracts will be let in the
spring, Mr.. Babcock states.
The projects which have been plac-
ed definitely on the program, but on
which bids have not yet been receiv-
ed, are the following:
T H. No. dodge Center to Kas-
son, Ills miles.
T. H. No. 9-Fairmont to Jackson,
26.5 miles.
Luverne to state line, 1870 miles.
T. H. No. 18-Elk River to Zim-
norman, 1913 miles.
Further announcement of the date
for letting these projects will be
made in a few weeks.

Ogden Gives Opinion

Governor Harry c. Leslie's crime
commission is not concerned with
the wet and dry question, and If it
takes q stand on prohibition it is
dealing with a question outside Of
its scope, Attorney-General James
NJ. Ogden, member Of the commits
sion, said today.
Ogden's opinion was expressed in
a discussion of a challenge Satur-
day by Leo NJ. RappapOrt, subcom-
mittee chairman, that the commits
sion should state definitely its opin-
ion Of the prohibition question.
Rappaport contended prohibition
was "one of the basic causes OF
crime" and should be treated as
such by the commission. He sug-
gested q secret poll Of commission
members be taken to ascertain their
views.
Ogden admitted that prohibition
might be considered a cause -
crime and that the commission
might logically study 1t as such,
but contended that whetheE the
commission favored modification or
strict enforcement was outside its
jurisdiction.

New and tensely dramatic chapters
in the colorful saga of steel we're
written today as Cyrus S. Eaton.
powerful Cleveland fnancier, pitted
resources and ingenuity against
rival steel magnates in a fight to
block consolidation of the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company
and Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Eaton, dominant Sheet and Tube
stakeholder and controlling owner
Of Republic Steel. Waged his fight
on two fronts-here. where the
major battle centers Tuesday. and
in Cleveland, where his representa-
tiveS sought federal court injunc-

shares Of Sheet and Tube.
Eaton Confident Of victory
The suits we're expected to be de-
termined by nightfau and, mean
time, preparations went forward
here for a meeting of Sheet and
Tube stockholders to ratify or reject

The actions filed by Taylor sup
plemented a mandamus suit filed
last week to compel Sheet and Tube
officials to reveal figures on Bethle-
hens consolidation offer.
Like r. B. Shower of Pittsburgh,
who filed the first Cleveland in
junction suit. he asserts the nego-
tiations were kept secret and de-
mands the stockholders meeting be
prevented.
Outcome Of the suits was prob
lematical, but Eaton was confident
