State Senator Supports State Cement Mill and Highway Concrete
In New Ulm the address on Amendment No. 1 by State Senator Michael Boylan argues for a state owned cement mill if needed to supply hard surfacing for trunk highways or to force price reductions. He notes concrete not mandatory for all roads and cites use of other materials where feasible. He warns Twin Cities and Duluth will bear much of motor vehicle tax but gain little directly. He praises Mayor Fritsche and recalls early road conditions, stressing benefits to farmers, schools, and vehicle upkeep despite a small turnout.
