MI. hilton OBJECTED to any changes be-
ing made In the plans under which the
contractor Is now working. To do what
Is asked would require extra expense and
once more the bugaboo Of the treasurys
condition doomed up.
But Mr.. Etheridge put a new LIGHT on
the subject by stating that the contractor
had agreed to make some changes without
cost, providing he could cure permits
sion to cut down some of the timber in the
way,
1t was agreed that the contractor might
do all that he desired to improve the road
II 1t did not cost the county any more than
the contract price.
| Roads still kept the right of way and
the Jobstown turnpike came next. The
townships through which the road runs
relinQuished all right to 1t and turned it
over to the county.
Mr.. Donnelly objected to the county
taking this road. He had been repeated
ly turned down In his attempts to get a
road needed much more than this one is
and he felt that there was not any i'm
mediate urgency for this action.
Mr.. Hilton explained that the county
had received large share of the automo-
bile money collected by the state and that
more of 1t would be forthcoming to aid la
putting the turnpike in good shape. That
be greatly annreciated 'A@' "ouiu

several years and he was safe In saving
that If the gravel along the turnpike was
to be used 1t would be just as well not to
