Road. ..s.-

AS delegation from the Virginia
Commercial Club appointed at a
meeting of the board of governors
of that body held Saturday after
noon, Messrs. J. D. Lamont, A.
w. Norton and R. L. Griggs ap-
peared before the county board on
Tuesday, asking for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Virginia-In-
ternational Falls highway running
north from this city, while L. M.
Osborn, who has been active in Sc
curing petitions and data connect
cd with the road was also a visitor
to the county building in AN at
tempt to further the interests Of
the project.
The delegation failed to meet
with definite success, but it is an
ticipated this highway will be Civ
en- due consideration at the next
meeting of the board, when the
road fund is subdivided.
This road, if put in proper con-
dhion, would be of inestimable
value to hundreds of hardy SET
Tiers in the Rice Valley and Sand
Lake districts, and would be of
like value to Virginia, bringing
additional trade to this city.
Some years ago a start was mad*,
on this road, and a passable' road
is constructed as far as Sand Lake,
but from that point north to the
Tower and Itasca road the high
way is still practically impossible
during the summer months, al
though cut out for the entire dis
lance.
Should the sum asked by the
committee be allowed by the board
it would be found sufficient to
place the road in first-class condi-
ton as far north as the Tower and
ltasca road, from which point a
good highway IS found running
northWard as far as Cook.
