Grading
T. H. No. 3 will be graded from
Fergus Falls to the junction with
the so-called Ashby cutoff, in pre-
paration for paving. The new grade
will follow the old route, but elimi.
nation of ten curves and corners
will cut the distance O.3 miles.
No. 8 will be graded from Grand
Rapids to Weller's Spur, cutting the
distance 81 miles and eliminating
ten sharp turns. The permanent
highway will follow the north side
! Of the railroad, eliminating two
grade crossings from No. 8, one OF
them, however, remaining in the
system as crossing on T. H. No
"a.
No. IA will be graded from Gay
lord to Winthrop, in preparation
for paving. The old road is fol-
lowed from Winthrop to the grade
crossing midway between the two
towns, then over a new route to a
junction with No. % north Of the
tracks in Gaylord instead of the
old junction south of the tracks
This eliminates one grade crossing
from the system, and both cross
ings as far as travel on No. IA is
concerned. The distance is reduced
O.S mile.
Work on No. 20 from Chatfield
to Fountain, is a revision of align
ment, in preparation for the paw
ing of this link will be an import
ant Minnesota to Chicago route
The grading will cut the distance
O.4 mile and eliminate several haz-
ardous curves. An underpass will
replace a grade crossing. This road
is part Of U. S. IS, and it is ex-
pected that paving on this. route
will be completed in both Minnesota
and Iowa in 1882. -.
The proposed gravel surfacing is
on routes where grading is to be
completed soon. Bids are also ask
ed on shouldering several stretches
where paving is in progress. The
