IMPROVE MANY ROADS.
County Commissioners Plan Better
ment of County Highways.

There seems to be a general for
ward movement in the direction of
good road building. During the year
the county board of commissioners will
expend $4,000 on the improvement
of the roads of the county.
probably the most important thing
the board has on hand. said County
Commissioner Ed O'Nen in speaking
of the contemplated improvements for
the ensuing season, sis the negotiation
for a steel water tank equipped with
an oil attachment for sprinkl1ng OIL In
a few days we will go to Kansas City
to see three wagons of this nature they
have recently purchased in that city
We will give the oil method of making
roads a thorough test.
..The bridge situation has been TAX
ing much of the time we might nave
been devoting to good roads.
One of the first things that Will ne
done will be the resurfacing of west
Sixth street. 1t is intended to put a
force of men at work there about the
first of April.
q On Tuesday the commissioners went
over the upper Silver Lake road with
the local trustees and it is likely that
there will be some effective work done
on that thoroughfare in the near fu-
ture.
Lower Silver Lake road is now being
graveled. Gravel will extend from the
Reform school road to the road run
ming north and south at the Menoken
station, a stretch of 8 u miles. In
the past this road has been one of the
worst in the county. West Twenty
first street road towards Dover is also
being graveled and graded. 1t will
soon be one of the best roads in the
county. A stretch of road on South
Kansas avenue is also being graveled.
This has been a Doggy place hereto
fore. The road will be widened from
Twenty-first street to the Hentzler
corner.
Improve Adams Street Road.
Along an eleven-mile stretch on the
Adams street road the farmers are or
ganized and have employed two men
to drag the road and keep it in shape.
The other day Messrs. O'Neil. McAfee
and Sinner attended a meeting of this
organization and gave the farmers
some suggestions.
During the season the Bur1in game
road will be filled up. The county rock
creek to Martins hill preparatory to
the work of resurfacing West Sixth
street. 1t is probable that some kind
of asphaltic preparation will be put on
the Sardou road. which runs through
Oakland.
1t is possible that the Douglas and
Shawnee county commissioners will get
together and decide to cut down the
hill on the Watson road between Doug
can be done for $500. From the state
ments made by the farmers this would
probably benefit Topeka more than
Lawrence. Township people seem to
be awakening to the value of good
roads.
