COUNTY BOARD PICKS
DEHOUX AS MECHANIC

Among the items of business trans
acted at the regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners, was
one designed to make for more eff
cheney in the county's road work pro-
gram. That was the appointment of
John DeHoux as county mechanic
under the supervision of the county
engineer. The appointment of Mr..
DeHoux means no additional expense
to the county as he was on the pay
roll at the same salary that his new
capacity will allow, but the commits
sioners felt that it is a step toward
greater efficiency as he will have au-
thority to keep all equipment in good
condition. .--'

the South American and Pan-Amer-
lean Republics, from Cape Horn to
Canada, that there would be Left over
enough mileage to build that road on
through Duluth and, Port Arthur, On
ariO, to the wilderness beyond Hud-
sons Bay.
This state highway system is being
maintained at cost of $S,000,000 a
year. not only for the benefit of Min
nesota motorists, business and indus
try, but for the use and enjoyment
of the tourists who spend nearly $780,
100000 year in Minnesota, summer
playground of the nation
This vast mileage is plowed free
of snow all winter, after every storm,
at an annual cost of about S1,400, 900.
1t is repaired after every spring thaw
brings out the frost boils; it's bitches
are kept clean, it's shoulders seeded
and repaired, and it's roadsides moved
of weeds-all by the State of Mime
sota
Full realization of the vast size of
this maintenance and imprO" ement
task may be emphasized by the fact
that it cost $31,544 last year just to
buy grass seed to prevent shoulder
erosion and washouts; $4,000 for
paint just to paint tie center line
stripe on pavements and protect guard
rails, steel bridges and equipment.
Nearly 100000 metal signs and
signals are required just to give tour
lists and home motorists direction and
driving signs for their convenience
and safety. ..~

on the Gulf of Mexico, and then west
ward across the Texas plains and
Rocky Mountains to Los Angeles.
And at this point the map-makers
would have used up only that mileage
that was added to the Minnesota trunk
highways system by Legislative &C
tion in 1884. The complete system
would still build this super-highway
on north along the Pacific coast to
San Francisco, then on to Seattle,
Wash, then back across the Rockies
and the northern plains states to Min
neapolis and st. Paul again.
A Vast System.
But the real surprise came when
they found that, after building super
highway completely around the United
States, they still had enough Mime
sofa trunk highway mileage left over
to build another super-rOad from the
Gulf of Mexico north across the ma
ton to the Twin Cities, on to Winni-
peg, and then out across the vast Can
adian northwest, through Sitka, Alas
ka, almost to that far-flung outpost OF
Minnesota pioneers in the Matanuska
Valley.
In other words Minnesota's trunk
highway system is nearly four times
bigger than the proposed super-high-
way from coast to coast across the
United States, and that Pre- opposed pro-
ject is SO gigantic that most persons
have considered it only dream.
1t is also so much bigger than the
international road through

WASHINGTON, April 10. -

forces to redouble their drive for
the enactment Of his judiciary re-
organization program.
Opposition leaders accepted his
challenge for fight to the bitter
end.
A White House spokesman said
the supreme court Wagner labor

help to swing those heretofore

ton Of the right of collective bar
gaining should end much Of tho
current strife between labor and
industry.
