842 MILES
CUT TO 74o
1O2 Miles Less Construction
Over New Routes-Sharp
Turns Eliminated,

Abandoning old roads and building
new ones on shorter and more direct
location saves money in construction
costs, in addition to the savings to
road users, o. L. Kipp, construction
engineer, of the Minnesota Highway
department, said in a paper read be-
fore the American Society of Civil
Engineers at the annual meeting in
St. Paul last week.
During the 1929 1890 biennium, Mr..
Kipp said, tau miles of trunk highways
were constructed on permanent loca-
ton. These TAO miles replaced 842
miles of road which had been used as
temporary trunk routes, effecting a
distance reduction of 102 miles. In this
construction program 81, 945, 600 was ex-
pended for right-of-way which might
have been saved if the original and
longer routes had been followed. But
it would cost $3,50O,O0O to grade and
pave these additional 1O2 miles. The
saving in construction costs therefore
was s1,555,OOO.
construction provided an improved
alignment, eliminating sharp turns and
steep grades, and also removing 81
railroad crossings from the trunk
routes, without considering grade cross
ings which were eliminated by bridges.
Minneota Leads in Local Work.
More miles of local roads were sur
faced in Minnesota in 1890 than in
any other state, according to figures
compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads. Minnesota was the first with
1897, Wisconsin second, with 2,784,
Ohio third with 2,241 and Tennessee
fourth with 2,183. The figures include
all rural roads except trunk highways.
The total miles of local roads sur
faced in all states in 1880 was 1888,
SO the work done by Minnesota counties
and townships was more than one
tenth of the nations total. The fig
ures, says a Highway bulletin, should
refute the belief occasionally expressed,
that Minnesota is concentrating its
road work on the trunk routes.
The mileage of surfaced local roads
in Minnesota at the end of 1880 is given
at 30,423, out of total of 1O3,770 miles
of local roads The total for all states
was 467 1888 miles surfaced out of a
total of 2,684,570 miles of local roads.
has % per cent of its local
roads surfaced while the average for
all states is only II per cent surfaced.
Only two states, Indiana with 46,O48
and Ohio with 1882, have more miles
surfaced local roads than Minnesota.
The type of surfacing of local roads
in Minnesota is as follows: sand-clay
and top soil, 5,927; gravel, 24,234; ma
cadam, 1O1; pavement, 161 miles.
Total expenditures on local roads in
Minnesota in 1880 are given at s24, 49,
600. This includes state aid received
from the one-min tax and one-third
of the gas tax, and county and town.
ship tax levies. Ten states, California,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin, spent larger sums on
their local roads.

ton have cut the leVleS a mat
ter of about $4,000. The city
levy has been cut from $685.
900 for 1881 to $324,300 for
1882. The levy for school
purposes is $4,000 under last
years levy or $4,000 under the
per capita limitations allowed
by law. Without a doubt,
however, the state and county
rate will be increased by sew
eral mills and the cut in the
Ely levy will not be felt to any
alarming extent. 1t is estim-
ated that the valuations in the
county are some eight million
dollars less than for last year.
The committee from the
City Council, Commercial Club
and School District which
called upon the County Com
missioners last week and urged
an appropriation of $4,000
for the completion of the Ely
airport, again visited the COM
missioners yesterday to present
further arguments why this
should be done at this time.
The committee presented their
case through Superintendent
W. E. Englund as spokesman.
While the commissioners lent
very listening ear and
weighed the arguments closely
it was very evident that as
much as they would like to
further the request, other
powerful influences are at
work to cut the levy down to
a minimum. While the local
committees contention is right,
it must be admitted that the
lower levy is also right in
these times of depression.
The argument presented was
in the interests of unemploy-
ment at this time and the win
ter months to follow, besides
the chances to secure neces-
sary filling material and gravel
for the airport at a saving of
13 to 20 cents per load. Also,
the airport site was brushed
out last year at considerable
expense and the rebrushing
two years hence would place
this at nought. 1t was pointed
out to the commissioners that
unemployment has created a
need for relief for many wage
earners and that it would be
far more profitable to furnish
this relief through some en-
ployment than through the
poor commission, at the same
time making a necessary and
permanent Improvement. The
committee asked for the full
appropriation of $4,000 and
assured the commissioners that
this would complete the air.
port and put it in condition for
use, minus the building of a
hangar which would be erec-
ted later from fees accruing
through the management of
the very necessary adjunct to
our outing facilities.
Where the difficulty arises
at this time is the fact that this
$4,000 would be included in
next years budget for which
the levy is now being made.
Group after group of inter-
ested taxpayers have appeared
before the commissioners ask
ing for a slashing of the levy
to the bare bone. The largest
slash is being asked in the road
and bridge fund notwithstand-

pended for labor-an excep-I

FREE SCHOLARSHIP
PLAN IS PROPOSED
Maryland U. Board of Re-
gents Discussing Question
Today at Baltimore.
epeolal pispatch 70 The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, September Us
A proposal to found scholarships by
state appropriation at the University
Of Maryland will be discussed today at
a meeting of the board of regents OF
the institution.
State Senator E. Milton Altfeld, who
has asserted that scholarships now are
being given students talented in the
vided by law, has proposed that so
scholarships be created and granted
for distribution by the State Senators
of the % counties and Baltimore City.
At present there Is no legal provision
for scholarships at the university, de-
spite the fact that the institution Is
maintained by State legislative appro-
priation.
President Reported Favorable.
Authorities at the university, includ-
ing DR.. Raymond A. Pearson, .presi-
dent, are said to be in favor OF such
a plan. The board of regents, &C
rording to John Raine, a member, prob
ably will request the Governor to in
clude in his recommendations to the
General Assembly of 1888 an item to
provide a limited number of scholar
ships for worthy and needy students
for distribution throughout the State.
The board will meet in the university
offices here.
The State does, through appropria-
ton at each session of the General
Assembly, provide funds for numerous
free scholarships, including tuition and
board, at many State-aided colleges
and schools in Maryland.
Several preliminary meetings to dis
buss the question of providing State
maintained scholarships at the Univer-
sity of Maryland have been held at the
suggestion of Senator Altfeld of the
fourth legislative district Of Baltimore.
They were attended by Senator Alt
field, Mr.. Raine and H. G. Byrd, as
sistant to the president and athletic
director Of the university.
Senator Altfeld early this month
wrote to Dr. Pearson, calling his at
tention to the fact that every State
aided institution in Maryland, except
the university, provides such scholar
ships.
