Seventeen men came up from Will
ton in autos to view the roads. They
stayed here until after dinner, looking
over maps and following section lines
to see what could be done in the nee
essary road work between the two
towns. In the afternoon they were
conducted back by 2 number of the
Washburn citizens over the river
road. There are two roads being con-
sidered. One is over the alkali fat.
Considerable county work has been
done here, but still the road Is not
what is called a good one. The Other
road is the river road. This goes to
the Fairman place and then east to
Wilton. This is by far the prettier
road, but the Mills beyond Fairnian's
makes that Objectionable.
