BRIDGE ASKED FOR PAWNEE
Hi9htower Farmers Want Passable
Road to keota

A petition has been circulated recent
ly in the Pawnee and Hightower coun-
try asking the county commissioners to
establish two miles of road and build q
bridge across Pawnee creek. The road
asked for would run south from the
northeast corner of Section %, T. 10,
R. SO, crossing both Pawnee creek and
the intake ditch Of the Pawnee Reser-
voir, which the reservoir company
would be expected to bridge. Both
these crossings are bad, and much Of
the time the ditch crossing is almost
impassable with any kind of load.
Considerable trade that might other
wise come to Buckingham or Keota is
turned the other way, to kimball, Neb.,
because Of their bad crossings, or goes
south to Stoneham or Raymer because
the ditch is avoided and better creek
crossing is afforded in that direction.
Absolutely no road work, so far as
known, has ever been done by the coun-
ty in that section, and the residents out
there think they are making very con-
servative request in asking for these
two miles of road. Indeed, petition
for eight miles of road running east and
west has been prepared, but has not
been widely circulated as yet.
Keota and Buckingham can both well
agree in support of the demand for
these bridges, and should use every ef-
fort to see that they are built without
delay. Indeed, our enterprising neigh
bors to the southeast have already
made a bid for the trade of the Pawnee
and Hightower country by going after
and getting about five miles Of road
running due north from Buckingham to
the Montgomery corner, where it meets
the Pawnee road and the west road to
Keota.
Oar new county commissioners were
elected on platform which declared
for good roads, and without doubt they
can be depended upon to act favorably
in this matter when it is presented to
them.
