5000 MEN MAKE
ROAD IN ONE DAY
Good Road Day" Produces 80
Miles of Road

Chandler. Okla.-The most cosmo-
politan industrial army ever assem-
bled in the state of Oklahoma built
q highway across Lincoln county
Thursday. December z between the
rising and setting Of the sun. A
work that has been carefully plan
ned for many weeks was completed
and when the sun had disappeared
beyond the western hills, thirty
three miles of roadway had been
constructed across the county from
east to west.
The county seat of Chandler was
deserted. The mayor had ISSUED a
proclamation declaring a holiday and
merchants, bankers, professional
men and artisans reported for
work. Two thousands teams and
1000 men gave their services for
eight hours to build the road, half
of which is of hard surface and the
remainder of dirt. furnishing a base
for motor cars on the one side and
for the unshod farmers horses on
the other. and providing a road that
is suitable for dry or wet weather.
At seven O'Clock in the morning
the whistles of Chandler announced
that the time was called for these
men, a large number of whom we're
unfamiliar with the handling of
mule teams. scrapers, shovels and
dynamite. But capable bosses were
in charge of the road sections the
organization worked to advantage,
and Lincoln county boasts of a 49,
mile good road that was built with
out the expenditure of a penny.
Persons travelling rel the road
while it was in the course of con
struction were to pay toll-in a good
humor, the workers asked that the
driver of each vehicle pay 81 into a
fund which will be used to maintain
the road. Responses were prompt;
all the drivers passing through the
county showed sympathy with the
movement and many dollars ere
collected in this informal way.
Lawyers, bankers, plumbers,
school teachers, clerks. merchants
and farmers worked side by side.
The spirit of cooperation was in
the air. with stores of Chandler and
other towns closed for TIE day, the
interest of the populace turned to
this volunteer enterprise which had
been crystalizing for many months,
and the army worked in unison.
At noon the women of the country
/ served a great dinner. The table
I was "a miles long and boiling pots
of coffee were available at every
sixteenth mile. Hot food was
ed along the entire line; 1T was the
longest dining table recorded in the
history of road building.
