PROCEEDINGS OF
SCHOOL BOARD
Dist. No II.

Regular board meeting held at the
school house Feb. 10, 1891 at p. m
All members present except Gravesen.
Minutes of last board meeting were
read and on motion, duly seconded,
were accepted as read. Carried.
Fred Jorgensen appeared before the
board and asked them to take some
precaution so as to make the stopping
place of the school bus at the corner
miles north of the school on the
state road more safe for children en-
tering or leaving school bus. Diff
ferent signal systems such as motor
horn. bell, flags or flagmen were all
suggested as was the advisability of
having the drivers get off at the dam
gerous stops. In fact, every stopping
place is dangerous, and some definite
plan or system should be worked out
for all buses.
A delegation of bus drivers appeared
before the board regarding one bus
drivers salary. A vote was taken on
said matter voting for and against.
Supt Harald Petersen reported on
debates, declamatory work, attendance,
basketball, etc. A platform has been
built in the assembly broom for the
teachers desk.
Ellen Paulsen having been absent
on account of illness, a motion was
made, seconded and carried to pay her
3 weeks salary only.

1t was decided to have school on
Feb -, 1881.
1t was suggested that r. Petersen
assist with putting on some door
closers.
In regards to State Director Utne's
visit at our school he suggested:
L That a fan or blower be pro-
vided for the fume hood in the labor
atory.
2. That an effort should be made
to raise the scholarship standard in
the 7th and Sth grade.
3. The lavatories in the toilet rooms
be provided with hot water.
4 Additional physics apparatus
should be secured before Sept. 1.
5. Additional reading material for
lower grades including related seat
work, before school re-opens.
6. That admission requirements to
the first grade be changed from six
years by Sept. 1, to by Jan 1.
o,~%; ;o1 ;crlf; ,rrb N,,f
the school be brought up to standard.
s. The attendance in your school is
too irregular it is difficult, if not i'm
possible to do good work, when pupils
attend irregular, so this should also
be raised.
If these recommendations are car
ried out, it should be possible for our
school to secure promotion to the reg
ular high school list as a Glass A four
year high school.
1t was moved and seconded that
we accept the recommendations of
State Director Utne that are necessary
to meet the requirements of the state
department so as to list our school
as Glass A four year high school.

Miss Myrtle Sward's hands were
burned when she attempted to shut
off a leaking valve of a gasoline
range in the home of w. D. Reynolds

painful but not serious.

that the packing was lose in the valve
and that gasoline had leaked out
When the range was lighted the gas
had ignited.
1t was in turning off the valve that
her hands were burned. The flames
died down when the excess gas had
burned, and because she had succeed

TRUNK HIGHWAY
OUTLAY EXCEEDS
TAX PAYMENTS
Redwood County One of 78 that
Expenditures Exceed License
and Gas Tax Income
DIFFERENCE OF ss6,4s5
Figures Cover Ten Year Period
that Plan Has Been in
Effect, Says BabcOck

Trunk highway expenditures have
exceeded motor vehicle and gas tax
payments in 70 of the 81 counties IN
the state during the 10 years the plan
has been effective, according to fg-
ures released by Commissioners G. M.
Babcock.
This credit balance will be wiped
out in at least five of the nine coun-
ties, where receipts to date exceed
expenditures, by work now under con-
tract or contemplated for this year.
In Redwood county total expendi-
lures on trunk highways to date have
been $1,176,74S, which includes money
spent for construction, maintenance,
and interest and principal on reim-
bursement bonds.
Pays $1,OS0,263 Into Fund
Payments from this county into
the trunk highway fund total $780,
263, motor vehicle taxes based on the
Secretary of States figures and gas
taxes estimated on the basis of the
number of cars in the county. The
one-third of the gas tax which goes
to the counties is not included in the
figures. The figures cover the period
from May 1, 1921 to December 81,
1880.
There is difference of 500, 485 be-
tween the total outlay for construc-
ton, maintenance and reimbursement
and the total motor vehicle gas taxes
and other payments to the highway
trunk fund in Redwood county.
Purpose of the trunk highway
plan was to build roads according to
traffic demands without regard to
county lines" Mr.. Babcock said.
Benefits county receives are not
confined to the money spent within
the county. People in each county
make use of the highway in all other
counties of the state. Roads outside
the county bring lot of tourist and
other business into the county.
Gas a matter Of public information
the law provides for us to keep q
record of expenditures in each coun-
ty. These records show that in "a
counties expenditures exceed pay
ments into the trunk highway fund by
more than a million dollars, and in
A counties by sums less than mil
lion.
Federal Aid Makes Up for Excess
'In the nine counties having credit
balance at the present time these
sums range from $4,000 to $414,000.
except in Hennepin and Ramsey
counties. In five of these nine coun-
ties the credit balances will be wiped
out this year. and will soon be wiped
out in all rural counties. The excess
of expenditures over receipts is made
up partly from the receipts in the
large cities and partly from federal
aid.
SIN 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 secondary roads.
