To the EXPosIToR:
| think you and your neighbor across
the hall are doing good work in advis-
ing the people to take hold and max e
the roads in better shape for travel.
Good roads running into town are
like so many rivers running into n
beautiful lake. If the rivers are good
the lake is also. And just now would
it not be good thing for Yale if we
could open road south one mile from
give the people of the south part of
Breckway and the best part of Emmett
a shorter distance to Yale by from two
to four miles. Respectfully, w. b.
