ut the upper .townsite, whence it is
understood the road will ultimate
Iy continue down the river bank en-
said railroad grade. The route as
surveyed makes an easy grade,
only a small percentage to the
mile. and in time will become one
of the most popular auto highways
i'm the state.
Commission'r VonWald does not
anticipate any difficulty in getting
the county board to allow at least
sufficient funds to get the grading
started this fall. AS it looks to us,
the work Of grading could be
spread out over two or three years
in such a manner as to get fine
highway ut a minimum cost to our
taxpayers, if the final estimates of
the cost should be found to be HIGH.
Ye Editor had the pleasure of
working Monday as an assistant to
County Surveyor Frank Knowles
and Co-Commissioner VonWald.
And Tues. he enjoyed an auto ride
with them to Gettysburg, return
ing with Stage Driver Will Garbe.
The two trips together afforded a
good illustration of the advantage
that good auto road would be to
our town-as evidently we are not
going to get railroad very soon
viz: we got to Gettysburg in plen
ty OF time to catch Mr.. Garbe and
transact some business too, leaving
Forest City a little after 1 o'clock.
With the new auto road com
pleted. up Beaver gulch, it's easy
grades will enable our mail con.
tractor of the future to afford au-
tomobiles in which to carry their
passengers and express, and then
we can fly to catch the North Wes-
tern trains in ajiffy and living in
Forest City will be still more en-
hanced.
We will even be able to take a
spin to our county seat these long
summer days after supper and get
back the same night, before dark.
And that sure will be fun, begoir-
rah!
