GAINESVILLE Road Now Open.

me usual Travelled TOdu TO dneS-
vile, which has been closed most of the
summer undergoing Improvement, was
thrown open to travel again last week.
About two miles from the Fulton town
line through GAINESVILLE has just been
completed by Contractor McGarock.
The gravel is yet dry and so loosely
packed that it is bound to be cut up by
travel unless the stretch is rolled and
leveled after the first rain. About half
this new road is in quite passable con-
dition but the last finished is likely to
be badly cut up after the rainy season
starts. Fresh gravel is also being
spread on the road between Houfe's
corners and Indian Ford and three new
cement culverts built, and this portion
is not yet in good condition for travel.
A fine job of resurfacing has been done
from the county house corners toward
GAINESVILLE but the work stopped 40 rods
short of taking the improvement
through the Glen and the worst piece
of all was left untouched. Just why,
we do not know. After this new work
has been leveled up next spring and
oiled as it should be, we shall have
complete improved highway between
Edgerton and GAINESVILLE.
With the advent of favorable fall
weather, Commissioner Moore. has
pressed all his road crews into service
to complete the work in the county.
At present he has ten road crews and
six culvert gangs employed, force as
large as worked at any time during the
summer. The washouts in the western
part of the county and around Edger-
ton during the early fall storm have
made large amount of work for the
bridge and culvert men, while the wet
weather seriously delayed the road
building then under way. Mr.. Moore
stated that as things were going his
program for the year would be COM
pleted this week, with the possible ex-
ception of three jobs-a stretch of one
mile on the Observation-Disclosures road in
Plymouth, a resurfacing job at Mag
nolia corners, ssand one mile stretch on
the MELVILLE Milton road, the contract
for which has been let. Mr. Moore
had not intended to build the last
named piece of road this season, but it
is in such deplorable condition that
something must be done to make it
passable, and any work that. the town
might do this fall would be complete
loss. Mr.. Moore expects to finish this
piece if the weather holds good.
The most extensive road building
program which has ever been attempt
ed in Rock county during any one year
was mapped out at the opening of this
season, and despite the handicaps will
have been successfully carried through.
