PLANNING BOARD
FOR $66,OO0,OOO
ROAD PROGRAM
10-Year Building Proposal In
cludes Primary and Second
ary Trunk Systems
AUTO TAX CUT OPPOSED
Coordination Between Rail and
Highway Transportation
Proposed to Legislature

A long time program for an ulti-
7,ate trunk highway system in Min
nesota of from 100000 to 250,000
miles was recommended Wednesday
by the State Planning board which
also suggested that the motor vehicle
tax should not be reduced.
The board, established year ago
as part of national planning group
created by President Roosevelt, made
it's report to Washington, Governor
Olson and the legislature.
The state trunk highway system
should consist of primary and sec
ondary group of trunk highways un-
der control of the state highway COM
missioner, the report stated, adding
that the secondary system need not
be developed to such high standard
of grade and alignment as the prim-
ary system.
&C Million Cost Seen
1t was estimated in the report that
to carry out full ten-year construc-
ton program it would cost an esti-
mated $66,560,000 or $6,650,000 an
nually In addition retirement OF
existing highway bonds and interest,
reconstruction, maintenance and ad-
ministration expenses would require
approximately 20 million dollars an
nually for the first five years, and
about $1O,350,OOO annually for the
second fve-year period, the board
estimated.
Under this plan highways already
added to the present trunk highway
system by the last legislature would
be permanently improved OR treated.
At the present time the state has
in excess of $4,000 miles of surfaced
road.
Other Recommendations
The board also recommended:
There should be attempted CO.
ordination between railroad and high
way transport to eliminate "unneces-
sary and costly" duplication of serv-
ice.
A study should be made as to what
is an equitable proportion of the cost
of construction and maintenance OF
highways to be borne by truck own
erS.
A definite program of grade cross
ing elimination or protection should
be set up and the program of elimin-
alton of center piers in railway un-
der passes pushed to early compile
ton.
Present laws restricting use OF
trunk highway funds should be made
more flexible to permit the commits
sioner of highways to take advantage
of railway abandonments by using
rights-of-way and grades, and to
build tshort connecting lines
highways and certain CO
munities.

 "Hurrayl" cried Goldy. See us go. The land, now, is far, far be- low. I'll bet that we could beat the fastest airplane in race"
 Old Santa watched them till they went right out of sight, and then he sent Jack Frost to make sure that his bed was ready for his snooze.
 T surely am a sleepyhead. My eyes are heavy" Santa said. "Why, I have lost too much sleep, now, and no more can I lose"
 And then he sat down by . tree and yelled to ol' Jack Frost. "Call me when everything is in top shape. Then into bed I'll creep"
 Before the old man knew it, he was leaning back against the tree. In just about a minute, Santa Claus was sound asleep.

 Nov am going to fix the spring that gives a big push to the thing. Yell last farewells to Santa. Then I'll close the little door,"
 The Tinies waved and cried, "Goodby." Old Santa answered, with a sigh, Tt makes me sad to think that I won't see you any more"
 Then he stepped back and told Jack Frost to do things right, at any cost. Wee Scouty pulled the ship door shut, and everything was set.
 Fair Goldy whispered, Mercy me! I'm just as thrilled as can be. We've had a lot of rides, but this will be the best one yet"

And still the driver pays. Police today turned over to the clerk of the city court a total of $44, yes- terdays collections from drivers passed red lights or stop signs, or whose cars were tagged. Yesterdays box score showed two drivers pay ing $5 eacn for passing signal lights, II drivers who paid $2 each for passing stop signs, and 12 drivers who paid the usual $1 for violation of parking ordinances.
