Tlie ro11ov1ing· reso1ut1on was auoptec: .
Resolved b.v the Board of Count.v Commissioners of Otter Tail Count.I/, r,linnesota:
11hereas. County Aid Road I-lo. 16 is desip.nated over the road formerl,v used as the temporar,1/
route of Trunk Highw~v No. 30 and this road was used by the State from 1921 to 1930 inclusive and no
improvements made, and as a result it will be necessary for the County to expend a sum probably in
excess of r-20.000 in order to grade and gra,•el this road to the sta.'ldard necessary to take care of the
present heavy traffic, and
Whereas, in 1932 the State again used this road in routing the detour. for Trunk Highway No, 64
via Pelican Rapids north and west to Barnesville, and as a result of this additional traffic burden the
road is now in a sad state of repair, void of its gravel surfacing, worn so as to make the road bed
lower in the center than the outsides, and marred throughout its length with bumps and ruts which make
travel a hazard, and
Whereas. this road is peculiarly situated so as to make it a connecting link v,ith Trunk
Highw~v No. 30 and 64 between Pelican Rapids and '3arnesville and also between '.l.'runk Highway No. 30 and
Uo. 2 between Pel lean Ra·pid s and Lal:e Park, and this situation together with the fact the Pelican :!apids
is the center of a region popular for its lakes and lake resorts, makes for a particularly heavy summer
trafric,
Now. therefore, be it Resolved that the Otter Tail
at Fergus 1l'ells on Januar.v 5, 1933, hereb.l' a·ppl,v -r:or Special
used in the constr11.c:t ion .of County Aid Road no. 16, and have
consideration.
Adopted January 5, 1933.

Count,v Be.ard of Commis~ioners, in session

set forth the above facts for .vour
II. P. R.Nelson, Chairman.
Whereas, Otter Tail Count.v has the second larp,est road mileage ot' the Counties in I,linnesota, anc
Whereas the construction cost in Otter Tail :::ount.v is hir,:her than many other Count,i:es, and
Whereas, Otter Tail Count.v is the Lal:e Region and tal;:e care of heavy local and through tra:ff.ic,
Therefore, be it hereby resolved by the aoard of County Commissioners of Otter Tail County
in session this 5th d~v of Januar,v-1933, that we respectfully request the '3oard of Allotment to
consider these facts and allot to Otter Tail County 3% of the Gas Tax Fu.'ld availabl~ ror Counties.

Chairman.
By the Board o~ County Commissioners of Otter Tall County, Minnesota
Whereas, State Aid Road No. 1, commonly knovm as the Otter Tail Lake Road in Otter Tail County,
Minnesota, is the heaviest traveled road maintained at the expense of said County, and, 1n fact, as heavily traveled as any of thB trunk highways passing through Otter Tail County except that portion of trunk highway No. 3 running 'from the Dalton cut-off into Fergus Falls, and trunk highway No, 30 to its
,1unct ion with 64; and ·
Whereas, said State Aid Road No. 1 is in imminent need of improvement, and
Wherees, the Board o:f Courity Commissioners of said county deem it to be in the interest of
public economy to cause such improvement to be made at the earliest practicable date, and
Whereas, the Board of County Commissioners are at this time unable to finance said necessary
improvement of said road, and Whereas, the topograph,v of Otter Tail. Count,v is such that the building and maintenance of 9ublio
roads therein are attended with heavy costs per average mile; and
l'lhereas, Otter Tail Coun'::,V has in the past and does no1v contribute to the State Aid Road and
Bridt?e fund as rnuch, in round ·ngures, as it has received and does receive therefrom in the aid of the
construction and maintenance or its roads, resulting in a situation where the County merely acts as a conduit for transmitting to the State funds which it again receives; and Whereas, Otter Tail County has built. constructed, and does now maintain an exiensive system of·
public roads within its borders at a great cost to its taxpayers. but for the convenience not only of its
own citizens but for the citizens of the State at large, all of which has contributed to the situation
above-mentioned, under which lt now finds itself unable to provide for the necessary improvement of said
State Aid Road No, 1, and
Whereas, said State Aid Road No, l is the shortest route to Otter Tail Lake, which is one of the
great resort lakes of the State of Minnesota, by residents of' Horth and South Dakota;
Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Otter Tail Co11nty, Minne-
sota, at its regu1a~ meeting held on the 10th des of October, 1933, that the Board of Allotment of the
State of Minnesota, having jurisdiction of the use end distribution of the ftmds to the credit of the State
Aid Road and qridge Fund, be, and it hereby ls, requested to make an appropriation from said State Aid Fund
in the sum of $10,000 to the Road and Bridge Fund of Otter Tail County, Uinnesota, as "Special State Aid" for immediate use by said County in the improvement of said State Aid Road No, l
