Do Not Want Road Changed.

There has been some talk of discon-
tinuing the Parrish bridge on Depot and
making a new road through the Brade-
son and Enos places to connect with
the present road about one-half mile
above Lon Dundon's residence. The
idea does not seem to meet with the ap.
proval of the residents of the Depot
country. They state that the change
would necessitate either the construc-
tion of dyke on the Bradeson place
or running the road around on the hill
above Bradeson's; also dyke on the
Enos place or making the road through
the Enos meadow, necessitating plank
ing. This would not only make the
proposed road longer than the present
one, but would cost more for the lum'
Der for planking than would be required
to place new deck on the Parrish
bridge and make other necessary re-
pairs.
THE LEADER has been requested tc
give publicity to the above facts for the
benefit Of all concerned.
