Want an Important Road Improved
On Thursday delegation from the 4th district
appeared before the Highways Commission
and asked that three additional miles of Park
Heights avenue be improved under the State
aid fund.
Mr. Charles A. Councilman, Col. D. G. Nc
Intosh and Mr.. Edward N. Rich acted as
spokesman and stated that the improvement
would open upa valuable section ofthe county,
increase the taxable basis and was also badly
needed by the farmers of Worthington Valley
and sections north Oft.
The Commissioners said they had already
overdrawn the State appropriation allotted
the county and that they could not consider
the additional three miles this year. The farm
ers have agreed to give 10 per cent. of the cost
of the improvement, but President Mann ex-
planned that the county would have to lay out
the entire cost of the road at the rate of 1000
a mile and would not get the States share I'M
til the work was completed. Others in the
delegation were Messrs. Janon Fisher, Albert
W. Fuss, Henry Dixon, Reuben Geist, Jere-
miah Baublitts, John G. Oockey and John
Councilman.
