Much Material Used On
Highways Made in State
Manufacture of Cement and Other
Road Needs Provides Work for
Many Men

Nearly two thirds of the 1,20O, 900
barrels of cement used in building
28O miles of new trunk highway
pavement this year is made in
Minnesota, according to information
given out by Commissioner G. M.
Babcock. This is cited as one ex-
ample to show Minnesota materials
used, whenever possible in high
way construction and maintenance.
Nearly a million gallons of road
tar used in bituminous gravel treat
ment is also produced in the state,
this being the first year that road
tar from a Minnesota plant has
been available. Tar is a by product
of coke plant in st. Paul. The
home product is about one eighth of
the total order of road oil and tar
used this year.
All sand and gravel, both for paw
ing and for gravel roads, comes
from Minnesota pits, except that
Iowa material is used on one paw
ing job at the Iowa line.
The entire order of 100000 feet of
new snow fence being bought this
year is being made in Minnesota.
All posts for 60 miles of guard rail
being built this year come from
Minnesota forests.
All tile and concrete culverts and
nearly all metal culverts used by
the department are made in Mime
sofa. A large proportion of other
materials, such as paints, road ma
chinery, signs and markers are
made in the state.
1t is our policy to give preference
to Minnesota materials as far as
practical, Mr.. Babcock says. The
law requires us to buy all material
on competitive bids, and if an out
side firm has lowest figure, we
must buy from them. This is not
only the economical thing to do,
but if we should arbitrarily discrim-
mate against outside firms when
they had low bids, other states
would soon retaliate. There are a
number of firms in Minnesota MAX
ing road material and machinery,
and they probably sell more to 9TH
er states than we buy from outside,
and these firms employ a large
number of men.
But where price and quality are
the same, Minnesota products are
given preference. Minnesota indus
tries furnishing road material give

AUTO DEATHS INCREASE

Deaths in automobile accidents
in Minnesota totaled $40 in 1929
and SOC in 1928, according to the
final figures of the State Board Of
Health. These figures include grade
crossing accidents. Deaths in collis-
ions of trains and automobiles were
reduced from So in 1928 to 81 in
1929 and deaths in automobile and
street car collisions dropped from
ID in 1928 to in 1929. Other auto
mobile fatalities including both
pedestrians and vehicle occupants,
increased from 435 in 1928 to sos
in 1929. Grade crossing elimina-
tons, automatic signals and educa-
fional work are credited with re-
ducing grade crossing fatalities.

Law Says Horse Drawn
Rigs Must Have Tail Lights
Many Serious Accidents Have Been
Caused This Year Because of
Negligence

Although the last legislature,
made it compulsory to have a light
or reflector on all horse-drawn
vehicles, there are still many wag-
ons and buggies without this pro-
lection, and every few days we
read of someone being killed or
seriously injured through some
body's failure to observe this SEN
sible safety regulation. Not long
ago two were killed and one SER
iously injured near Winona, in two
accidents occurring a few days
apart. In one case youth on a
motorcycle crashed into an un-
lighted hayrack and in another
case one man was killed and one
injured when a car ran into an un-
lighted buggy.
Nearly all auto accessory stores
carry the small red reflectors to at
tach to the rear end of wagons and
buggies. Their cost is small and
when the light from the head
lamps strike them, they are as eff
fective as a red light.
The law requires reflector
which will show a red or yellow
light visible 200 feet to the rear
under normal atmospheric condi-
lions. Persons who fail to comply
with this regulation, even on roads.
with light traffic are seriously en-
dangering themselves and others.
