MILLIkEN IS
after A ROAD

Milliken, April 5.-George Hodg-
son, the we'll known Platteville
farmer, familiar with road condi-
tions in this locality as no other
man, was asked to meet with the
Commercial club here last night and
give Information concerning the old
road which ran from the Milliken
country into the st. Vrain region
Milliken wants this road opened up
and Mr.. HOdgsOn sees no reason
why 1t can not be. as the right OF
way privileges were granted years
ago are still In force. A bridge
should be put In over the Platte
river when this is done, but as
there are only . few times during
the year when the river is not
fordable the bridge building can be
delayed. 1t is the intention of the
Commercial club to boost for this
road and eventually connect it with
the main road to Denver.
The matter Of acreage for the
canning factory was discussed A
receiving station having ben estab-
lished At Gilcrest for . canning fac
tory in the south part Of the county
has taken away acreage from Mil
liken which otherwise would have
heoa pledged. There are Al acres
Of tomatoes signed to date for the
Ailliken factory and the business
men will contribute 20 acres more.
The remaining 20 required will be
easily secured, It u believed.
