CEMETERY ROAD
TO Be W|OENED
JUICE WALL IN WASHINGTON TO
URGE CONGRESSIONAL
ACTION.
Causing Frequent Slides and
Danger to Travel
Fence Useless.

The county commissioners of Pu
laski county engaged Judge Wall tc
go to Washington aooui ten days ago
to urge upon Congressman Thist
wood and others the need Of doing
something for the mamt nance Cf the
National Cemetery road, Judge Wall
accompanied by Mrs. Wall have
been there week or longer. The
Pulaski county board believe that
what is more needed than fence
along the ROAD is a general widening
|all along from Mound City and from
Cache bridge The road has been
seriously damaged by siiles at
various points and is rendered almost
impossible from this cause. 1t is
VERY high in places and its slopes are
too steep on both sides. The slides
have been so numerous and bad dur
ing the present rainy season that
travel over it has been dangerous or
impossible and during the last week
citizens of Mound City have been
hauling cinders TO patch it up where
the breaks are worst The road is
too narrow even when in good order,
since the automobile has come into
use, which often makes country
teams shy to one side and down the
embankment. Accidents of this kind
have been numerous. 1t is argued
that while a fence might lessen this
kind of accidents, 1t would not he
long until the fence would be carried
away by the continuous Siding on
the road aud the money spent for a
fence would thus be wasted
1t is the purpose of Judge Wallis
visit in Washington to present these
facts to congressman, also TO offer
any concessions in the way Of deeds
which the department may require in
order to induce it 10 take over the
care of the road and do what may he
to put it in proper condition
for travel all the year round.
