MILFORD FARMERS
VOTE FDR GOOD ROADS.
A Meeting Held In Firemen's Hall Last
Saturday Instructed the Levy Court
men for Milford and Cedar Greek
to Ask fer the State Aid to
Build Better Roads,

The adjourned meeting of the tax
payers of Milford and Cedar Greek dis.
tIiets held in Firemen's Hall last Satur-
day afternoon, was attended by the
representative farmers Of this vicinity,
and after discussing the new law, which
was read, they by a unanimous vote
instructed the members Of the Levy
Court to have the special tax laid for
the purpose, and to ask for the State
aid provided by the new law. This
will cause about 81 600 in addition to
the present road appropriation to be
expended in the building Of good roads
around the town, and it will be an OBJ
jeet lesson Of great value to the public
The meeting was organized by max
ing Colonel TheO Townsend chairman,
and Nutter Marvel secretary.
A copy of the new law was presented
by Joseph Gray Davis, and its provi-
sions explained by DIR. Marshall. The
discussion was participated in by B. F.
B. Woodall, James B. Gilchrist and
others, and the present management Of
the roads under the present system
severely criticised but credit was given
for the good work done by individuals
under the system.
The money to be raised for the special
improvement of the roads, must be ex
pended by the Levy COurtmsn, who
must post in two or more public places
a detailed account Of the expenditure
and the results obtained before the
middle Of November, The law makes
it imperitive that the work shall COM
mence at the main arteries of travel
outside of the incorporated towns, and
places restrictions as to what shall be
done. Milford and Cedar Greek are the
first to act for better roads under the
new law.
Some Of those present at the meeting
in addition to those mentioned above
were r. J. Meredith, A. J. MalOney,
Aaron B. Woodruff, L. Austin, Wesley
George Holmes, Luther F.

Made a Fine Road.

The road leading from Milford to
Shawnee, a distance of more than two
miles, has been plowed, graded and
rolled under the management of Henry
Pusey, the supervisor for that district.
After the grading was done, Mr.. Pusey
hired the steam roller from the town
OF Milford, and hao the road thoroughly
rolled, and it is now almost the equal
Of a macadam road, so far as smooth
ness goes. 1t would pay the supervisors
Of roads generally TO pay for having
their roads rolled by the steam roller
If the Shawnee road could be scrsped
ligStly the latter part of this month
and then be again rolled by the steam
roller, it would give the finishing touch
to the road and cause it to last for years
to come, with very slight attention. 1t
would be ten dollars well spent to do
the rolling just after the next rain.
