us OH Wednesday. Continuing, ''we want to
come to Owosso but the poor roads keep us
away. We all want the road graded and
put in good shape and will help do it."
The business men of Owosso are daily
losing trade from the eastern part of the
county OH account of the poor condition OF
the roads leading to the city. The south
road is almost impossible OH account of mud
holes and the danger from the street cars.
The north road Is not such a one as farm
ers like to draw loads over or 6ne which
people will use for pleasure riding. The
Owosso Business Mems Association should
take up the question of putting these roads
i'm shape. We heard one of our citizens re-
mark that he would furnish man and team
for 80 days free If the road from the city
limits TO the state road could be well graded
and graveled. Another promised to do the
same thing IL the work could be continued
TO the coal mine.
