Work OF graveling on the Pohl
road and the ST. Clair road has
been completed. More graveling
would have been done had the
road been graded further. I
In both cases farmers took the

by the Commercial and Automobile
clubs and the business men. On
the Pohl road the gravel now ex-
tends to Wagner's corner and part
way down the Kruikshank hill. II
is expected that the grading there
Will be continued this summer, and
further crawling will then be done.

now extends from the city limits
to the st. Clair town hall. and
place which has always been muddy
at the foot OF the hill east Of the
