ROAD ss:cceotEapssT
COMES kttin
Ninth Street Read viii COST
$1,000 Per Mile.

George Weatherley will to-
day be awarded the contract
for the grading and other inn
provements to be made on the
public road leading into Mis-
souri, Valley via the Ninth
street crossing, work to be COM
menced Immediately.
The road scheduled for such
general improvements extends
from the bridge across the
Seaton ditch at the south end
of Ninth street to the hills to
the east, having a total length
of two miles. When completed
the road will have a surface
eighteen feet wide, with a one
foot raise in the center. 1t will
be surfaced with gravel its en-
tire length. According to the
figures of j. S. Wattles, who
will have supervision of the
work, the first 1000 feet of
the road east from the bridge
will be about five feet above
the adjoining land, the entire
road being two feet above the
high water mark established
by the floods of 1902. The road
is to be equipped with proper
and adequate drainage and
when completed it will serve as
a model road for this section cf
the state.
C. A. Walker, w. A. Jones
and j. 3. Kirkwood, the COM
mittee in charge of the general
arrangements, anticipate the
total cost of the improvement
of the two miles of road will
cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, the greater portion of
which has been subscribed by
the farmers.
