RELIEF BECOMES
COUNTY JOB With
BOARDS DECISION
Commissioners Decide Not
to Appropriate Money
Requested
Nine Miles of Road Will be
Graded, 10000 Feet of
Snow Fence Ordered

After considering the matter
for several weeks, Redwood coun-
ty commissioners voted Tuesday
to drop out of the federal relief
set up and finance and administer
the county's relief load from now
on.
The decision climaxed a series
of meetings in which 26 southern
Minnesota counties objected to the
allotments set for them by feder-
al officials, on a basis of ability to
pay, and discussed the matter
with authorities.
A week ago the impression was
general that the board would IN
the end appropriate the S32,8O0
per year for the next two years
as requested and leave administra-
ton to the federal government.
After further consideration this
week and in view of the federal
governments announcement that
it soon expects to be out of the
relief business entirely, the COM
missioners decided not to enter
the two year program.
The assurance has been given
that counties handling their own
relief burden will not be penalized
in the scheduling of WPA projects
by which the government expects
to give work to practically all en-
ployables.
Since under the terms of the
government proposal, expenses of
the poor farm, disqualification and
similar expenses would be In ad-
dition to the $4,000 asked,
board members feel that relief can
be handled at less expense to tax
payers in this manner.
The commissioners were still IN
session Wednesday afternoon, con-
sidering matters of administra-
ton. Former ERA offices in the
National Tea store building are
finishing their work with pros
poets of early discontinuance of
the employment of several per-
sons, all of which is somewhat in
definite at this time.
The county board also authoriz-
ed call for bids for the regrad-
ing of nine miles Of road west of
Morgan, toward Wabasso, bids to
be opened August %.
1t was also voted to purchase
10000 feet of snow fence for use
on county aid roads where the
need is greatest.
Bids on the proposed new court
house roof were opened Wednes-
day and the contract let to Bots
ford Lumber company for mater
ial and Tenney and Larson for
labor.

Plans being Pushed

ceeds from the air show, from pri-
vate donations or from profits on

To- Oiled IN
About 1ODays
Sewage Disposal Plant Will
Be Started in Week by
Arlington Firm

Assurance that the streets of
Redwood Falls will be oiled with
in about ten days was given MEM
bers of the city council Monday
evening when a Standard Oil COM
pany representative from whom
the body ordered 10000 gallons of
road oil appeared before them.
The Bituminous Surface Treat
i'm company of Minneapolis was
awarded the contract to spray the
asphalt mixture on 80 city blocks,
the number estimated by +. B.
Forbes who has had charge of a
large canvassing committee made
up of club women promoting
street treatment.
Laid at cost of six and seven
tenths cents per gallon, the Oh
will take a day or two for appli-
cation and drying will require
about "a hours. 1t is estimated
that one application will last
nearly a year.
The contract for completion OF
the city's sewage disposal plant
was officially let to the Arlington
Stone and Gravel company fol
S15,572, with work to start as
soon as possible, probably within
a week. The council had kept the
Arlington bid and another low of
fer under consideration, hoping tt
receive WPA funds to assist il
financing the plant. However, il
was found impossible to obtain The
funds at the present time with the
WPA set-up not yet definite.
Mervin Mason, representing the
Northwest Engineering company
of Minneapolis appeared before
the council before the sewage
plant contract was let to attempt
to persuade officials to build fl
ter different in type from thai
planned by F. H. Anthony, city en-.
gineer. After a long and spirited
discussion, ballot on the question
of changing plans for the filter
showed four votes against it.
Plans for the purchase of the
lot Just south of the Shell Oil com.
pany, to be used as city market
and parking lot were considered
at the session when G. R. Enge.
man, administrator of the John II
Jackson estate, owner offered il
for sale to the city. He asked
$3.50 dollars plus back taxes, max
ing the lot price nearly $500. Az
it is believed that a general mark
ct is needed to keep hucksters of
the street, the question of buying
it was taken under advisement.

II Per Cent Dividend on
State Bank DEPOSITS Due
Checks Now On Way to Bring
Total of 81 Per Cent
Paid DepOSiterS

Checks totaling SCI, 943.25 and
representing a IL per cent pay
ment to depositers in the State
Bank and Trust company of Red
wood Falls, are on their way here
from the state banking depart
ment in st. Paul.
George Johnson receiver of the
institution, received word Of the
dividend Tuesday, just two and
one-half years, to the day, after it
closed February 6, 1888. In that
time 80 per cent of what deposit
ers then looked upon as losses has
been paid to them and there are
still assets to be liquidated and
distributed. The total paid on
general claims with this payment
is S430, OO2.55.
Other closed banks in the coun-
ty also have recently distributed
checks, Milroy receiving its first
dividend, five per cent, after be-
ing closed four years. SeafOrth
released it's seventh for a total of
80 per cent and IL per cent pay
ment brought Vesta's bank to AZ
per cent.
Banking department officials
adopted a policy Of watchful wait
ing back when the depression was
darkest and values lowest and
their refusal to sell on a glutted
market not only helped prevent
prices going lower but made it
possible to sell now when average
prices of bank holdings are 80 to
40 per cent higher.
In some cases far greater value
revivals have justified the depart
ment's policy. Closed banks have
paid $1O,9O3,61 since May 1888 at
a cost of liquidation averaging
10 per cent. The costs here have
amounted to only 1.8 per cent.

NEW YORK, September 25.-
Rubber producers of the Far East.
controlling vital war material, ap-
pear, in the opinion of Lee Kong
Chan of Singapore, to be more con-
cerned with freedom Of the Suez
Canal than with freedom of Ethiopia
Lee started on a months survey of
American conditions today in New
York following a world tour. during
which he closely studied the outlook
for the commodity in which he spe-
cializes as an exporter.
War between Italy and Ethiopia,
he said, would not hamper the raw
rubber business because transporta-
ton would be virtually unhindered.
Closing Of the Suez, however, or
even an unfriendly policing of the
route. would hinder shipments to a
considerable extent, he declared. In
the latter event. Lee said rubber could
be transported in British bottoms with
safety.
He regarded the Panama Canal as
a logical alternate route from pro-
duction centers Of the Far East to the
market, and he did not believe the
additional freight rates would boost
the price Of rubber markedly.
A world war, however, he regarded
as another matter entirely.
At the present time rubber is vir-
tually pegged between II and IL
cents . pound as Q result Of the In
