Highway Paving
Costs Much Less
More Miles At Millions Less Cost
Is Shown by Comparison
Engineer States

That Minnesota chose an OPP
perfume time to increase it's high
way paving operations is indicated
by a summary in a state highway
department bulletin of an analysis
of paving costs made by o. L. Kipp,
construction engineer of the state
highway department, and covering
a nine year period.
Not only did the enlarged high
way construction program of the
past two years give needed work to
many, but in these two years A more
miles of paving were laid at cost
greatly lower than the work of the
entire preceding seven years, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kipp's compilation.
During the years from 1924 to 1880
inclusive, 958 miles of the state
trunk highway system were paved.
The total cost was $25, 729, 296. 98.
But in the two years of 1881 and
1892, 962 miles were paved at a to-
tai cost of approximately $40, 348,-
930.08. This reduction in costs, Mr..
Kipp points out, was 220 per cent
below the costs of work of the sew
en- year period. The reduction was
due, the bulletin states, to the gen.
eral lowering of costs during the
latter two year period.

Parents of Roman Weiser, Killed
Near Sank Centre i'm April
1882, Awarded $500

Tuesday a Stearns County Dis
trict Court jury returned verdict
in favor of the parents of the late
Roman Weisser in the sum of 3d.
500.
Young Weisser was one of four
young people killed 81 miles east of
Sank Centre in the early morning of
April 26, 1882, when a Ford truck
in which they were riding ran into
the rear end of a trailer belonging
to Raymond Bros, Transportation
company standing on Highway No.
3 about half way up hill, headed
toward Sank Centre.
It will lbe recalled that the young
folks had attended a dance in Mel
rose and were driving to this city
bringing Miss Olga Holmberg to
her home.
Immediately after the collision
the Ford Truck caught fire, the oc-
cupants were burned to death, and
the truck and contents were de-
stroyed.
Roman Weissers parents had
sued for $4,000.
