BABCOCK ASKS BIDS
ON 100000 PROJECT

Bids for the biggest highway job
in the history of Minnesota road con-
struction-a new road over Stockton
hill near Winona-will be received by
the Minnesota Highway department
at it's offices in ST. Paul, July 81, il
was announced recently by Commits
sioner C. M. Babcock.
The project will result in an en-
tirely new highway on No. Z from
Winona to Stockton, over scenic
Stockton hill, for a distance of So
miles.
The new grade will follow the gen.
eral direction of the old road, reduc-
ing the steep grades and removing
35 sharp turns. At one point where
there is horseshoe curve, the new
highway will go straight across the
present valley and the fill will be 225
feet to the bottom.
The job is estimated to cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 and will re-
quire moving nearly $4,000 cubic
yards of dirt. Work is expected to
start shortly after the bids have been
received and the contract awarded
and will not be completed until some
time next summer. Tourists will be
detoured to Stockton via Minnesota
City while the new highway is under
construction.
Much of the work will be done
during the winter according to J.. T.
Ellison, chief engineer of the state
highway department, who said the
project is the largest undertaken by
the state during the Babcock regime
and one which has required months
of engineering work.
Bids on four trunk highway grad
ing projects covering 4O.5 miles and
involving more than 100000 cubic
yards of excavation will be received
by the state on July Fl, Mr.. Babcock
announced. The call for bids follow
ed the sale last week of $8,6OO,OO of
state highway bonds, which made il
possible to continue and complete
the years construction program as
originally planned.
This weeks call for bids will bring
the years grading work to COG
miles. About It's miles more of
grading will be let during the next
few weeks.
The bonds sold last week brought
premium of 0,2OO, on the basis of
three and three-quarters per cent
interest. When the bond bill was
pending before the legislature last
winter, the estimates of interest were
based on four per cent. The lower
interest rate and premium will save
the state approximately 100000.

Overload Permits
to be Discouraged
HI. Dept. Gives Rules for Nov
ing Vehicles Which Exceed
Legal Limits

Permits for moving vehicles and
loads which exceed the limits fixed by
the state law must be granted only
in cases of extreme necessity, accord
ing to instructions sent from the
Minnesota Highway department OF
all district maintenance superintend-
ents. The policy of the department,
according to the instructions, is to
discourage the movement of over
weight vehicles because of the posi-
BILE damage to the highway, and over
size vehicles because of traffic dang
ers.
Attention is called to the change
of weight and size limits made by the
last legislature. Under the new law
the maximum weight on vehicle
with pneumatic tires and axles spac-
ed eight feet or more apart, is $4,000
pounds per axle, and $4,000 pounds
per axles when spaced less than eight
feet apart. Vehicles with solid tires
may carry only 80 per cent of the
weight permitted for pneumatics.
The old law permitted $4,000
pounds per vehicle, and 22,400 pounds
per axle. Vehicles which were in the
state before the passage of the new
law, and which complied with the
old law, will be allowed to operate
for the time being without permits.
In the new law limiting the length Of
trains of vehicles to 60, it is speci-
fcally provided that vehicles which
were in the state and complied with
the old law, may be used until Nov
ember 80, 1888.
Every load which is above the
limits of the law must have permit.
In the case of very heavy loads, per-
mits will be granted only for the
movement from the nearest railroad
station to the final destination. Move
ments will not be permitted during
heavy traffic times Or at night unless
special precautions are taken to avoid
traffic difficulties.
When the load is more than so per
cent over the legal limits, permits
must be approved by the central Of
flee of the Highway Department,
otherwise they may be issued by the
district superintendent.
Permits for moving steam shovels
and similar equipment will usually
require that they move under their
own power, as this usually does less
damage to the road than towing by
trucks.
Every permit will specify the route
to be followed, as NELL as the time of
movement

BUGS WILL NOT TOUCH
WASECA MANS POTATOES

"John Magner of this city has been
successful gardner for many years,
but if one part Of his garden pans
out this year he will acquire state
wide reputation" says the Waseca
Herald.
HE is raising what he thinks is a
bugless potato. He isn't Dragging
any yet, just watching develop
ments. He ran short of potato seed
this spring and went to store and
bought some nice looking white spuds
which the merchant didn't know the
name of. They are growing fine but
the potatoe bugs won't touch them.
John has to keep busy with the Paris
green or arsenate of lead to fight the
bugs on the rest of the potatoes, but
the nameless variety has nice, juicy
leaves which do not attract the bugs
at ALL"

FARMERS AVOID HEAT
DO WORK BY MOONLIGHT

"There Ought To Be Moonlight
Saving Time," not $50 1 could love
that girl of mine," but $50 can rake
that hay of mine" should be the
theme song of the Lyon county farm
ers concerned in the following article
from the Minneota Mascot:
"Moonlight-cool, brilliant and
beautiful-may have lighted the way
for lovers drifting in canoes on Min
nesota's placid lakes most any night
this week.
"Men in crowded cities may have
walked the streets, unable to sleep,
and by the light of the moon dreamed
of falling into deep slumber in the
shadow of glacier after days of
hellish heat.
Rising low in the east, creeping
higher until it held the pinnacle of
the sky, the moon has given Minneso-
ia several hours more of light than is
usually coming to her.
whatever purposes this moonlight
may have been put to elsewhere, on
several farms in Lyon county ii
found more mundane uses than any
of those enumerated above. With
the thermometer at 100 in the shade
during the day farmers found it i'm
possible to work in the fields.
"There was work to be one and it
could not wait. Even by rising early
it could not all be accomplished. The
moon solved the problem. And so it
was a common sight to find men cul-
tivating corn and raking hay by the
moonlight on a number of farms near
here while the heat wave ruled the
day."

NEW YORK, May 20.-1t
isn't any too soon to begin
thinking about silk coats. Be-
cause the time you want one
most is when warm weather
first strikes. And that's just
the time when you don't want to
go shopping.
So let's think now-what they
are this year and why they're
fashionable.
Fashion-knowing women tell
us they can't get on without a
silk coat in the summer. They
say they're even more necessary
this year because Of the fashion
for short-Sleeved dresses.
Lots OF folks do not want to
wear G wool coat on a very
warm day. But neither do they
want to go on the street, espe-
cially in town, with bare arms.
The light silk coat adds moth
The Washington times., 1931-05-20

ing to their temperature. Yet it
does satisfy the demand for cor
rect street coSturning.
Silk Sheds Dust
These same fashion-knowing
women say they like the silk
coat for both town and travel
wear because it sheds dust
where a wool one holds it.
In general, these summer
coats of silk are simple. Even
simpler than springs good
looking wool coats. They have
many of the same details wool
coats have-the same dress
hke'' details.
In fact they look even more
like dresses because they're of
silk, as most dresses are. We've
had one sketched at the right
that looks so much like a dress
you actually could wear it as
one.
