M1aak on Seu1en Project Commenced

James d. Gray, area engineer in
charge Of WPAE work on the pro-
ject. B. A. johnson, highway en-
gineer, who formerly resided in
this city, will have charge of the
engineering work of the Minnesota
State Highway department. Fred
Jacobs, Of Monticello, will be sup
erintendent, and Theo. Ostendorf,
of this city, will be the foreman.
Funds available for this work
are as follows: Government for
labor $27 supervision $4,340;
sponsors labor $500; sponsors for
material $13,475.
It is expected that the work will
be completed In eight months or
sooner. AS highway 50 has been
designated as a military road it is
essential that work be completed
in the shortest possible time.
Work on this project includes
drainage from the underpass to
the river, as well as improvements
on Eighth Street. A new cement
sidewalk will be built in place of
the wood sidewalk under the over
head bridge. Eighth street will be
bituminous treated, and curbs, gut
tiers and sidewalks will be built.
The bituminous treatment Of 9th
Street will continue to Getty Street.

project now underway be complet-
ed with dispatch, said Mr.. Gray.
Although the State Of Minnesota
has a large sponsor share in this
sewer project, practically all i'm
provement on the newly designated
military road will be done at Fed
eral expense, and the taxpayers of
Minnesota will pay very little in
direct taxation to the job. AS
national defense work has priority
over all other government work,
men will be drawn as needed from
all W.P.A. projects in this vicinity.
AS stated before Federal labor
on this project will be $27, 491, and
federal non-labor $3.50, for a total
of $31, 831. This amount added to
the sponsors share will make a
grand total for the entire job of
$45,306 The City of Sank Centre,
as co-sponsor, will have but very
small outlay of money to invest as
it's share of sponsor funds for ma
terial. The greatest amount of cost
will be borne by the state and
federal governments.
Other work on Highway 81, under
the defense program, to prepare 1t
as a military road, we are inform
ed, will start in the near future.

Senator Welle Intro
duced Bill To Re-
store 4 Cent Gas Tax

Senator Leo Welle, Of this dis
trict, is seeking to obtain passage
Of a bill restoring the state gaso-
line tax to four cents. He has
introduced a bill in the state SEN
ate making this change and is con-
fident that he will be successful
in getting it passed. Rural MEM
bers of the legislature especially
are impressed with the need of in
creased funds for highway con-
struction, Senator Wele says, and
support for his proposal is wide
spread.
The state gasoline tax has been
four cents for some years but was
reduced to three cents on Septem-
Der 1st, 1910, through a bill passed
in the 1899 session of the legisla-
ture.
A bill has been introduced in the
Minnesota legislature by members
Of the senate from rural sections of
the state abolishing a one-mill levy
which the state has made for many
years on real estate for road build
ing purposes. Presentation Of this
bill, 1t Is believed, would remove
much of the objection to restora-
ton Of the four cent gasoline tax.

Catch basins will be installed to
take care of the greatest share of
water before it arrives at the un-
derpass. Seven Of these catch bas-
ms will be installed, two of them
directly under the overhead bridge,
four of them nearby to care for
water fom Eighth Street and one
at the home Of Dewey O'Gara to
take care Of water from lower Pine
Street. 1928 feet of various sizes of
sewer tile will be used to complete
the project.
Recently, said Mr.. Gray, highway
So was designated as a military
road, and it must be designed and
built to move mechanical units of
the army, such as heavy tanks and
trucks. The road bed must be
widened, bridges rebuilt, and the
road Strengthened for visibility of
at least 500 feet. Highway 81 is a
part of this military road, which
runs from the Atlantic seacoast to
Alaska.
The main aim and purpose of
W.P.A. Is to provide work for men,
the main aim and purpose of a
defense project is to get the work
done. Because all Improvements on
this road are designated under the
defense program 1t is vital that this

point of persons participating has
been one Of the chief detectives
of the Surplus Marketing Admin

started in the spring of 1889.
AS a result, there is nothing COM
plicated about the plan which goes
into effect in Stearns county on
February Bird, declared John Kraus
county welfare director. During
the early stages of operation here,
however, there are bound to be
many questions.
In an effort to clear up these
questions, the Surplus Marketing
Administration has compiled a list
Of questions most frequently heard
in areas already opened. These
questions. and the answers to each
follow:

Three Cases

In SaukCentre
Influenza Epidemic
Abating According To
School Absence Records

Three cases of pneumonia were
reported this week and an innum-
cradle amount of head colds and
"flu" cases were still requiring
medical attention, but the attack
of influenza, now sweeping the
nation, was showing signs of aba
ting on the basis of school absences
it was learned.
Doctors pointing to the fact that
bulk of the flu cases was mild,
warned against laxity in exposure
and contact with persons having
colds. Treat a cold as If you were
really sick and go to bed" was
their terse counsel.
School nurse Miss Esther
Bone said that the bulk of alb
sences because of illness were
now returning to school. She
said, d" Peak came right after
vacation in early January, and
It didn't reach the point we
had expected.
She pointed out that absences
because of illness had reached "a
fairly high percentage" that one
room alone had reported nine alb
sences on a single day.
Illness was reported as still
heavy, however. Teachers and
senior high students seemed to
follow the lower grade epidemic.
In business houses crews were
staggered as first one and then
the other "took turns" at being III
for a day or two. Some families re-
ported as many as two and three
i'll at single time.
Mrs. Ben Minette was reported
by her physician as recovering this
week from an attack of pneumonia
M. J. Deichert was reported Tues
day morning as showing marked
improvement in pneumonia from
his condition Of the previous day.
Third pneumonia case is Stewart
Whitehead confined this week. His
case was reported less severe than
the others.
In the meantime the city was
holding its own against invasion
Of quarantine cases. Early cases
of measles and some of mumps
were reported released from quar-
antine by the city health officer.
