The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1893-07-14
The REGISTER desires to again call

; the attention OF the business men O
lola to the imperative necessity of i'm
+ proving the river road. The road i
all right now, but there are about ST,
months in the year when it il entirel,
impossible for two horses to hau
more than half a load over it. Tn,
result of this is that lola loses trade
There is a large community of well.
TODD people west of the river, whC
are about equally distant from Hum.
boldt and lola. They could just as
well come to lola, and many of them
would prefer to. But during bad
weather that awful road forces them
to go to Humboldt, and so they form
business relations there that keen
them going there even when our road
is good, and we Thereby loose their
trade entirely. We venture to say
that lola Losses hundreds if not tbous-
ands of dollars every year solely on
account of that road What shall be
done about it? We think that the
town and township authorities ought
to get together and agree upon some
division of the work, and fix some
settled policy about the kind of work
to be done, and then go at it. Maybe
it would be good idea to call a pub
lie meeting to talk it over. We
should like to have the city council
talk 1t over. And we should be glad
to offer the columns of'the REGISTER
to any one who has any suggestions
to make. The river road must be
fixed.
