1000 MILES OF
ROADS ORPHANED
Less Than 800 Miles of 1850 Added
to Trunk System Has Been
Approved.

A combination of state highway fl
nances and new federal rulings has
operated to leave Minnesota with over
it's hands.
n. W. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, disclosed the predicament
to members of the House Motor We
hicle committee this week. The mile
age which has been left orphaned"
is about 1000 of the approximately
1850 miles that were taken out of
the county class and added to the
state trunk highway system in 1888,
at the same time that the LegiSla-
ture affected a cut in motor vehicle
license fees and reduced the revenues
of the trunk system by approximately
100000.
OF this $500 miles, less than 500
has been approved by the federal gov
eminent for inclusion in that part of
the states trunk system known as
the federal aid system. Federal reg
ulations require that all federal aid
money allotted to the Minnesota State
Highway department be spent on roads
which have been accepted as a part
of the federal aid system. Thus, these
1000 miles of legislative additions
to the states trunk system are not
eligible for any construction or i'm
provement work to be paid for with
federal money.
In the past, federal funds that were
made available for work on secondary
and feeder roads, could be used on
this state trunk system mileage which
was outside the federal aid system.
A New Ruling.
Last week, however, new ruling
was received from Washington de-
creeing that this money, all but ap-
proXimately 100000 of the $650,OO0
annual allotment, would be paid to
the counties when matched by them,
and must be used on county roads.
This, the state highway commissioner
pointed out, will leave the 200 miles
OF Legislative additions to the trunk
system stranded in a norman s-land'
between the federal aid system and,
the county roads. Since the state
lacks sufficient funds anyway to
match available federal aid money,
it would be unwise to use any con-
siderable part of these available state
funds fer this system because, to do
so would mean to lose that much fed
eral aid money and pass up an OPP
pOrtunity to do twice as much work
