Those who travel the highways
most say that Laclede's reputation
'or good roads has suffered con
'iderably of late. The cross state |
highway both east and west of
own and the county seat road
lorth from town are about the
'oughest roads in this part of the
tate at present. There are some
,huck holes within a mile Of town
IN the north road where several
springs have been
,roken lately and are dangerous
or any kind of a vehicle. One of
hese places is-within. the city limits.
This condition largely comes about
" the dragging not being done at
he proper time. The Linneus end
# the county seat road is in fine
ondition and shows that intelli-
'ent work has been done on it at
he right time.
