PRIEST FOR GOOD ROADS.
Smooth Highways In Missouri Coun-
ty Preached by Father Placid.

Headed 10y Father Placid superior
of the Conception monastery at Con-
ception. Mo. in NCdaway county. the
township board of jefferson township
has put tifty-siX of the seventy eight
miles Of road in the township under a
system of dragging contracts. Farm
ers have been secured who will drag
the roads as often as required by the
supervisors at rates running from 80
cents to - cents mile. A dragging
consists, under the contracts recently
let, Of two rounds. or four times over.
When the plan was started Father
Placid, accompanied by the township
board, visited all the main Travelled
roads of the township and selected the
sections which were in need of grad
ing and would need such improvement
before dragging could be effectively
started. The various supervisors were
then ordered to have these sections
graded.
1t is expected that after the grading
is completed it will cost an aver
age of $65 a mile yearly to maintain
the roads in good shape. Father Placid
in a sermon delivered at the monas-
terry urged his auditors to aid the good
roads movement.
