greater after the work of construction has
been commenced.
The building of this road will be a
great incentive to the construction of inn
/ proved lateral roads in this session, and
these are badly needed, since roads in this
| part of the county are, for the most part,
very pc or, and, in some cases, almost I'M
| passable. If this road be built, I have
heard number of farmers say that they
contemplate the purchase of auto trucks
in which to bring their products to mar
ket, and this will be of much benefit to
fruit and berry growers. The dupont
Boulevard will mean keener competition
with the railroad. and that will benefit
everyone who has occasion to make freigl
shipments from any point in the State.
'One of the greatest causes for COM
plant about the road has been the fact
that the people as a rule do not under
stand the purpose of that fourteen-foot
road. If they could be brought to under
stand that the main road would surely be
forty feet wide, then I believe that all
opposition will vanish. In my opinion
General dupont should arrange to hold
meetings of farmers and property holders
and others at various points along the
road, and then send some one there to
talk with the people, and make it clear
to them that the road viii be amply wide
for all purposes, and that it will be solidly
built after the best of modern road build
ing methods, it would settle all arguments
against the road once and for ali
STILL FAvoRs ROAD.
" Personally, I have always favored the
construction of the road, and am of the
same mind now. We believe that it will
encourage the construction of improved
cross roads throughout the county. The
meeting held here last Monday evening
expressed the sentiment of the entire |
community. You could traverse the ter |
ritOry for two miles from the corporate !
limits of this town and not find FIVE men |
who are opposed to the road measure. !
People along the route of the road have |
been fairly and honestly treated regard
ing the matter of property adjustments.
and there is no complaint to be heard /
from any one who claims unjust treat
ment IN the matter of payment for any
land taken for the use of the road. -
Mr.. McCabe has expressed my feeling
in the matter exactly, said Mr.. Davis,
who was present when the above state
nent was made, and I heartily agree
with all that he has said. We felt the
benefit of increased business during the
ime the men were employed near here,
md believe that every other business
louse in town did also. " f.
