ing contracts and it might also
have been necessary to leave new
unshouldered, new grades I'M
graveled, and to curtail mainten-
ance work. Curtailing the grading
program this year would also have
upset the paving program for 1882
and succeeding years.
The largest contract on the July
p list is So miles on No. Z,
through the hills from Winona to
Stockton, which requires moving
nearly 100000 cubic yards of dirt.
The new grade will follow the gen.
eral direction of the old road, re-
ducing the steep grades and re-
moving 35 sharp turns.
T. H. No, will be graded from
Long Prairie to Eagle Bend, eff
fecting distance reduction of 3.3
miles, and removing three railroad
grade crossings and 16 sharp
turns. Grading is in progress now
from Eagle Bend to Wadena.
Another project runs from
Spring Valley on T. H. No. 9 to the
point where No. SO turns north,
and No. SO from this point to
Stewartville, total length of 1873
miles. The junction of the two
roads will be a mile west of the
present junction, and from this
point TO Spring Valley, the new
road will be built north of the
present road. The combined pro-
ject will cut the distance from
Spring Valley to Stewartville 1.8
miles, and from Spring Valley to
Grand Meadow one mile. Two
grade crossings will be removed by
relocation and one by building an
underpass. Two sharp turns will be
removed on the two routes.
A short grading project on T. H.
No. IA, west Of Marshall is in pre-
paration for paving, which is al
ready under contract.
Bids are also asked on three
shouldering jobs, two crawling
jobs, and ten bridges. The list of
