1.-THE law, however, requires us to
keep a record of expenditures in each
county, as matter of public informa-
ton. These records show that in
thirty four counties, expenditures ex-
coed the payments into the trunk
highway fund by more than a million
dollars, and in forty four counties by
sums of less than million.
I'm the nine counties having credit
balances at the present time, these
sums range from $4,000 to $414, 900,
except in Hennepin and Ramsey coun-
ties. In five of these nine counties the
credit balances will be wiped out this
year, and will soon be wiped out in
all the rural counties. The excess
of expenditures over receipts is made
up partly from the receipts in the
large cities and partly from federal
aid.
"In addition to the benefits the
rural counties receive from trunk
highway Improvements, they receive
an equal benefit from the fact that
the trunk highway plan left the state
aid, county and town road funds in
tact for use on the secondary roads.
We have made relatively greater pro-
gress in our feeder roads in the last
ten years than we have in our trunk
highways. Minnesota now has more
miles of graveled feeder roads than
any state except two, and most of
them have been built in the last ten
years."

The truck averages twelve to

Collections range from radios to
chickens.
"And sometimes it's pretty hard to
figure out what to take for taxes.
We try to levy on things that are
nonessential," Schulz says.
The trucks work on delinquent
taxes ranging from $12 to $4,000.
We'll be trucking for the next
two months" Schulz says.

previous year, the total being $3,o04,-
100000, but in actual quantity were
only % per cent less, the commerce

81 per cent less, the actual quantity
only II per cent less.

Frenzied Cheering GreetS
We as They Finally
Reach Nemuro.
By United Press

By United Press
NEMURO, Japan, Aug. "a
Shouting residents of Nemuro to-
day took Colonel and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh to their hearts in
giving the f1iers their first sched-
uled welcome to the country which
thus far has been to them land
of fog instead of orange blossoms.
From the moment the Lockheed
monoplane landed near Nemuro
wharf until the aviator and his wife
were tucked under the specially
made quilt at Nibici inn, their apr
pearance was the signal for pro-
longed and vigorous cheering.
Feted at Seaport
This little seaport on the eastern
shore of Hokkaio island never had
seen a celebration like it. All day
farmers and fishermen with their
wives and children streamed into
the city, adding their "banzais" to
those of the townspeople for the
couple from across the Pacific.
The celebration was climaxed
when 5000 Japanese and few
Americans crowded into the Hama
saki primary school and literally
shook the building with three
cheers for the f1iers.
A band played the American an
them and then the japanese shout
of welcome, "banzai," was repeated
three times.
Expect Great Welcome
The greeting gave the Lindberghs
an idea Of what they may expect
when they reach Kasumigaura
naval airport, near Toxic, Wednes-
day noon.
There it will be magnified many
times, for Nemuro could muster
only $4,000 persons from the town
and nearby communities.
Colonel and Ms. Lindbergh ar
rived six days later than they had
planned, but this did not decrease
the enthusiasm Of the welcome.
'The last few days have been
among the most difficult of my life, 4"
Colonel Lindbergh said during a
press interview. 1.-THE most dan
gerous moment on the entire trip
from the United States was when
a tow rope broke while the plane
was being pulled around Ketoi islet
and the waves almost carried us
on to the rocks"
Colonel Lindbergh indicated he
would stay here all day Tuesday,
departing shortly after daybreak
Wednesday for the island of Honshu,
where Toxic is located.
