this neighborllood where most needed.
Verify it seemeth high time to do per-
Ou TOhub Ill

used on all roads in the eastern part of
the township, MS well as in other parts Of
it, let us get one and use it to the out
most Of four ability. If necessary, let us
do our next years road work with it this
summer. 1t will pay. The supervisors
are at this time trying to secure grader
for our use. Let all join hands with
them and push this matter through, for
no outlay of money or labor will pay, the
individual and the township as Whole
better.
