On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material snd Immaterial by
the Editor.

Out of the S6,300,000 road
program approved by the Fed
eral government as submitted
by Highway Commissioner Els
berg, st. Louis County will
draw six miles of paving, ac-
cording to the list made public
this week. The other pro-
jects numbering nearly 20 are
located in the southern and
western sections of the state.
Figuring paving at about
$4,000 per mile, the total to
be expended in this highly
taxed county, with more farms
than any other county of the
state will amount to about
0,000-providing there is
no hitch in the program.
Only one county in the state
is of more value TO the tax
gatherer than is ST. Louis.
That county is Hennepin with
a total valuation of 1885, 264,-
$50 while our county's valua-
ton is placed at 1921, 637 AGA.
On this valuation, Hennepin
county pays S29,919,575.3s
while st. Louis pays S23,093,-
364.18, the two together pay
