Complaints by the travelling public
are being made on account Of the fact
that Hooppole road north of Thayervllle
has been closed by the contractors, who
are engaged reconstructing it. Locked
gates have been thrown across the road
at two points between Rodeheaver's
and Thayerville and traffic along the
only road leading from Oakland and
Deer Park to the northern end of the
county has been effectually blocked and
as result many people who have bust

convenienced and without just reason.
The road should be kept open at all
hazards.
