Says Hall Seeks
Job for In-LaW
Sent 2 1927
Sept. 8, 1887.


Editor:
A rumor which may not be easily
dismissed with a shrug of the
shoulder is the report that S. Ed
ward Hall, our barber-poitico,
seeks the st. Paul Urban League
secretary post for his son-in-law,
who at present is a member of the
bell stand at Minneapolis club.
This same rumor alleges that
Mr.. Hall went down to New York
a few days ago to convince the
Urban League poo-bahs that what
the st. Paul League needed was
more of the Ed Hall influence
which could easily and conveniently
be found in his in-law.
AS a long suffering resident of
st. Paul (for 80 years. I have long
since come to the conclusion that
what St. Paul needs lot less of
is that type of self-appointed vul-
nerable leadership as furnished by
Mr.. Hall and others who foist
themselves on every movement of
worth.
The Urban League has gone to
the bow vows largely here because
it's self perpetuating boards have
had such characters as Mr.. Hall on
them; men to whom scant associa-
ton with white board members has
usually rendered them totally unfit
to render service to the Negro
community.
The Lord help the Urban League
if Mr.. Halls trip has proven sue
cessful because a lot of we skep-
teal folks want as your paper
wants, a real vital Urban League
organization.

Hello Everybody:


AS Lincoln once said, EVERY

Old Omaha Clock
is Back on Job

-Mended good as new
and apparently ready to duplicate
its past so years of service, tn,
Omaha veteran timekeeper, an
old weight clock, is back in serv-
ice after three months on the re-
,tirement list. The same veteran
timepiece by which train dis
patchers worked at the old sta
ton in Mankato, the ancient clock
was replaced in the Omaha de-
pots office last December after
its case split into dozen pieces
when the timekeeper unexpect-
eddy fell from its place on the
wall. For weeks laid in the dis
card, the clock was given a sec
ond chance when it was shipped
to Omaha general office at st.
Paul where, it was taken in hand
by August Selander, woodwork
expert who learned his trade in
Sweden in the days when the
clock was first made. Selander,
who won first prize at the 1882
state fair on his entry of land
scape scene in inlaid wood, fitted
the pieces together so skilfully
that the case appears as intact as
before its fall. The works of the
clock, so compact that they can be
placed in a quart berry box, were
soon adjusted by local dealer
so that the clock could resume its
place on the wall.

1000 Miles State
Highways Orphaned
by Federal Ruling

A combination of state highway
finances and new federal rulings
has operated to leave Minnesota
with over 1000 miles of orphan
highways on its hands.
N. w. Elsberg, state highway
commissioner, disclosed the pre-
dicament to members of the house
motor vehicle committee this
week. The mileage which has
been left orphaned" is about
1000 of the approximately 4,500
miles that was taken out of the
county class and added to the
state trunk highway system in
1888, at the same time that the
legislature effected a cut in motor
vehicle license fees and reduced
the revenues of the trunk system
by approximately 100000.
Of this 4,500 miles, less than
500 has been approved by the
federal government for inclusion
in that part of the states trunk
system known as the federal aid
system. Federal regulations re-
quire 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 sys-
tenn. Thus, these 1000 miles of
additions are not eligible for any
construction or Improvement
work to be paid for with federal
money. Is. -
In the past, federal funds that
were made available for work on
secondary and feeder roads; could
be used on this state trunk sys-
tenn mileage which was outside
the federal aid system.
Last week, however, a new rul-
ing was received from Washing
ton decreeing that this money, all
but approximately 100000 of
the $65O,OOO 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 4,000
miles of legislative additions to
the trunk system stranded in a
"no-mans-land" between the fed
eral aid system and the county
roads. Since the state lacks suf-
fcient funds anyway to match
available federal aid money, it
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1937-03-04

would be unwise to use any con-
siderable part of these available
state funds for this system be-
cause, to do so would mean to
lose that much federal aid money
and pass up an opportunity to do
twice as much work on roads
which are included in the approx
ed federal aid system. Under pre-
sent regulations, therefore, these
orphaned" highways face a pros
pect which offers hope for little
more than mere maintenance un-
til such time as the states rev.
enues for highway purposes are
brought up to point where they
exceed the amount required to
pay fixed charges, to maintain
the 1890 mile system, and to
match federal aid allotments.

|of driving while his license was
revoked and testimony showed
that he had been arrested twice
before in Minneapolis, once for
drunken driving and once for
careless driving.
Judge Reed reminded the So
year-old refrigerator mechanic
that his record was bad one and
told him that he would recon-
mend that his license be suspend
ed for another year. A com
plant of drunken driving, already
signed, viii be pressed if investi-
cation shows that his record is
worse than he admitted, the judge
said.
Knutson was accompanied by a
blond woman when apprehended.
Another arrest between Morton
and Redwood Falls was made by
patrolmen Sunday afternoon when
when Ed Garrery of Franklin was
picked UP for careless driving. He
paid a $50 fine in court Monday
morning and had his drivers Ii
cense suspended for year.
Court continued busy Wednes-
day as Vern Hale of Morton paid
SIS fine for speeding on a patrol
charge. The patrol also brought
in L. E. Snyder of Staples. He
was convicted of driving an tx"
license truck out of his 35 mile
zone, fined $40 and given a ticket
ordering him to apply for a ssY''
license within 48 hours.
On the complaint of Albin lin
del, village marshal of Lamber-
ton, Lloyd Peterson of the same
town was charged with careless
driving and plead guilty. He was
given a $50 fine or SO days in jail
and his drivers license suspend
ed for a year.
His companion c. c. Hansen
paid $40 fine for being intoxi-
Gated.
A $50 fine was melted Arthur

lily. =.
An informal poll of 20 mem
bers of the committee was taken
tuesday by members of the
group, and the vote stood is for
the bill and ID against it, with
some of the Is wavering.
Since it is generally conceded
the committee was "hand picked"
to favor the Benson bill, such a
close division indicates the bill
has almost no chance of success.
The policy of delaying action and
OF calling public hearing at this
stage of procedure also indicates
that hackers of the measure have
been forced to abandon previous
plans to hurry the bill out of COM
mittee.
Drastic provisions of the bill
would have the state take over
all wholesaling of liquor and re-
tail off-sales in the large cities.
The state liquor commissioner
would be given almost complete
authority over liquor licensing
and other phases of the business.

DISPUTE OVER
RIFLE BRINGS

Whether a 80 calibre Remington
rifle was bought or stolen was the
question in municipal court Sat-
urday when Sylvester Menk of

Heiser charged that Menk stole
the gun on or about October 80,

tered by Menk who claimed that
he bought the rife, agreeing to
pay $50 for it. He furnished a $50

Worthington to be
Sentenced Today


A finger print report returned
to Redwood county authorities
this week shows that Lester Wor-

stealing $40 from the Redwood
Falls Motor company has no pre-
Ivious police record.
The "a year old Oklahoman was
suspected of previous arrests be-
cause he told authorities conflict
ing stories regarding his past car
eer. 1t was because of his oppos-
ing statements that Judge A. B.

Chances Slim for
State Liquor Bill

The state liquor dispensary bill
proposed to the state legislature
by Governor Elmer Benson APP
peared to face defeat today.
At a special meeting Wednes-
day the house liquor control COM
mittee failed to recommend the
bill, and instead delayed action
another week and decided to hold
a public hearing on the measure.
Every indication pointed to-
ward policy of continued delays
on the bill with a strong likeli-
hood the measure may die in
committee. If it should reach the
