LAPORTE is AFFECTED
State to Take Road From
Bloomsbury From Super
visors'l Control

Bloomsbury, May l2-During the
course of his conversation with
council members Thursday night
State Engineer Clay stated that
after June l the supervision OF the
roads in the county taken over by
the Sproul Act, which enclude the
roads from Bloomsbury to Berwick,
Bloomsbury to Benton and Blooms
\ burg to Danville, Bloomsbury to
Williamsport, via Millville; Blooms
burg to Laporte, via Orangeville;
bloomsbury to Pottsville, via Rup-
ert and Catawissa, will pass out of
the supervision of the super 7isors
and that they will thereafter be
under the direct charge of the State
Highway Department.
Because of the big task and the
fact the State now has only 40 men
as yet familiar with the road stu
alton throughout the state to look
otter the 5000 miles of roads to be
maintained under the provisions of
the Sproul act, it will probably be
necessary at first to enter into con-
tract to have the road work done.
Mr.. Clay stated that for the pres
ent they would devote their ener-
gies to getting rid of the ruts and
opening the bitches and in this
work they would largely depend
upon the use of the road drag.
1t is believed that if these roads
are placed in good shape through
the easy means provided they will
go long ways toward providing
an object lesson to supervisors
throughout this and other counties
and will soon result in much better
roads throughout the entire state.
