The honey Is gathered In the fall and

comprehensive development which shall
include the feeder roads from the market
towns TO the farms. We are not seeking
the through roads to the detriment Of
the town laterals: but We do not believe
that the township unit should receive
road assistance from the central govern
ment. # the state, i'll meeting it's growing
road burdens. is entitled to relief from
the nation, when it has been aided it
that cooperation down to the county and
township units, as they are civil sub
divisions of the state which is the larger
