BOARD IMPROVES
SOME BAD ROAD
DANGEROUS PLACE NORTH OF
THE CITY MADE SAFE BY THE
SUPERVISORS.

One of the best pieces Of road work
that has been accomplished this year
by the board of supervisors, Is the i'm
provement made at the intersection OF
the north road with that which leads
to Fremont. The spot has heretofore
been dreaded by motorists and others
driving in that vicinity and has been
the scene Of more than one mix-up In
which damaged cars resulted and ac-
cidents to persons were narrowly avert
ed
Those who were it's worst critics a
short time ago, are now loud in their
praise of the excellent condition in
which it has been placed. Although 1T Is
not yet worked down to it's best state,
the width has been increased two fold
and with proper care will become one
of the best stretches of roadway out of
Ottumwa. .s-.-
The improvement was made where
the highway was it's worst The place
is described by users of the road as ~
ing short distance beyond the second
track Of the Milwaukee railroad. 1t is
at the point where the angling road to
Oskaloosa and Fremont leaves the d.
rect Hedrick route and is about four
miles from Ottumwa. ...
~ The hill on the left side Of the road
has been cut down and the ditch filed,
widening the road about twice its
former size until 1t is now good
width and permits cars or other We
hicles to pass with safety day or night.
Auto owners are jubilant over the con-
dition of the road and express them
selves as pleased with the manner in
which it improves driving in that vi
cinity. '"
The supervisors did the work some
two weeks ago in the same manner as
most of the county road improvement
is being made. The board hires fore
man and force of men to do the job
and pays for it by the day. The cost Of
the Improvement was about $500.
