Sinner and Nipps Want IA
Change Granville Road.
$1,000 for Right of Way or 500
for Jetties, Whichl

the road where 1t 6-Wh1le CommlS-
sioners Sinner and Ntpps favor moving
the road north Of the tracks. Nfpps
and Sinner say it will cost less to buy
the new right of way than to build the
tetties, which will be necessary II the
present route is used. Simms is mucn
in disfavor Of this as he says that
enough jetties can be built at cost
of not more than 500 to keep the river
from tearing out the road. He also
points out that the proposed right OF
way which is from the railroad tracks
north of the three bridges to the Kaw
valley school house.
The question is causing no little trou-
BILE between the commissioners and at
the present time the situation 10 far
from settled. The graveling IL being
done from both ends SO that if the sit
uation Is swung either way there will be
no financial loss from that source. 1t
is thought that by the time the work
is completed to the two points where
the changes are proposed the commits
sioners will have the matter settled.
According to Simms il the road ts
moved it will cost from $1,000 to 5000
for the new right of way.
