Highway Traffic
Slightly Increased
Highway No. IA is Busy in This
Section; Census Taken
August SO

An increase of 1.9 per cent in the
number of vehicles using the Mime
sofa trunk highways, is shown by the
annual traffic census taken by the
Minnesota Highway department, for
the week of August to 9. Although
the increase is not as large as in
some years, Commissioner c. M. Bah
cock says it indicates that Minnesota
is in better shape than some of the
other states, many Of which have
shown decrease in their traffic
counts.
The increase probably would have
been much greater had the census
been taken when the trunk highways
were not under construction, fact
which causes many motorists to use
country roads.
The, census shows an increase in
Minnesota passenger cars and trucks
of all classes, while buses, horse
drawn vehicles and automobiles from
other states fell off slightly. These
comparisons are based ON counts at
800 places where counts were made
last year. Counts were made at 369
points but due to detours and con-
struction there were many routes
where the counts were not taken at
the same place both years and these
are omitted in making comparisons.
No. IA Busy Here
On trunk highway No. Ia going
through Redwood Falls, total of
936 vehicles passed over that road
on an average day during the week
of the census count. There were 765
Minnesotaecars, Sc foreign cars, four
transportation buses, six transport
trucks, 20 light trucks, IS heavy
trucks and IL horse-drawn vehicles.
Trunk Highway No. from Red
wood Falls to Sanborn had 316 pass
enger cars from Minnesota, 173
foreign cars, two buses, eight trucks,
seven light trucks, Is heavy trucks
and three horse-drawn rigs. Making
a total of sgt vehicles using highway
No. per day during the week OF
census taking.
Contracts for six grading projects
and several crawling, shouldering
and bridge jobs were awarded by the
Minnesota Highway department last
week, Commissioner C. NJ. Babcock
announces. Work on the bridges and
some Of the grading jobs is expected
to continue except in extreme cold
weather and keep men employed
through the winter.

ton, Winnebago and other quite dis
tant points.
No less attractive are the numer-
Gus industrial exhibits which take up
space in the exhibit halls

mems and the school displays also

its fair with any other in the state.

initial fireworks display will be seen
tonight. The free act companies ex-
hibited their prowess for the first
