There is no use in talking the roads leading
INTO the city rom the west and the one from
the southeast will have TO be fixed, or else
the city will suffer materially in her trade
We met a gentleman Saturday last, who lives
seven miles nearer Wichita than Hutchison,
and he told us that he had commenced 10
build himself house and barn and that he
was compelled TO so to the latter place and
pay higher price for the lumber than he
could get it for here, because the roads in
Delsno township were so bad that he could
not haul any thing over them. The township
within itself, cannot do much. The Commits
sloners, according to the laws, can't do much,
and the city, legally, can't do any thing as
we understand it. The business men OF the
city ought to get together and adopt some
plan and have work commenced Immediately
in Wichita and Delano townships. We have
passed through one of the most remarkable
winters that is on record in the annals of
Kansas experience-remarkab for the abb
sence of frost and The unusual quantity OF
rain, il for nothing else. The eartn's surface
has been continuously saturated with water
tor nearly three months, and as a conse-
quence, our county highways are In terri
bly, demoralized condition. The coming of
dry weethsr will scarcely put them in more
than barely passable condition, for they will
be full of hammocks and ruts. And as we
can not but expect considerable rainfall
during the spring months, there is an imme
date necessity for extensive repairs every
where, that they may be put in readiness for
spring and summer travel before the busy
season comes on. Township and district off, |
GERS should put forth every energy at once to |
put these important lines of communication |
in order. There is an immense amount OF |
this work TO do, and il should be commenced |
at once.
