East Road
To Be Opened
Railroad Company Gives
Permission to Use Their
Rightaway.

Some time ago a petition was circulated
by c. F.. Barber to have road opened up
east of town, connecting the east section
line with the townsitc The petition was
first circulated with view of getting the
township board to condemn strip of land
next to the railroad. belonging to Mr. Pot
ter, as highway. bu, after considering
the matter it was thought best to try and
get permission from the railroad company
to use part of their rightaway, thus saving
the expense to the township of buying the
land. Correspondence was then taken up
with the Superintendent and the petition
sent to him. The railroad company was
slow in acting and being that the opening
of this road was very necessary before the
grain commenced to move, A. l.. Martin,
president of the Farmers 4 Merchants
Bank, made trip to Glendivc and had a
personal interview with the Superintendent
in regard to the matter, with the result
that his permission was secured to use 50
feet of the companys rightaway for a road,
provided the citizens interested would put
in a fence along the north line of Mr.. Pot
tcr's land. The cost of the fence will be
about $50 and this has already been raised
by our townspcople and the road will be
opened at once. This move in getting this
road from the east opened is good one,
as it means great deal to farmers living
east of town, and no small amount of cred
tits due the parties who were instrumental
in getting it,
