The Proposed Route Between
Franklin and Baldwin.

The Good Roads Commits
sion held a special meeting
in Franklin on last Tuesday.
The principal matter before
it for consideration was the
selection of a route for that
part of the Parish model road
between the towns Of Frank
lin and Baldwin. Several
routes were proposed and
each one of them was care
fully studied and considered
by the Commission.
The Commission finally
selected the following route
and recommended its adop-
ton by the Police Jury:
Beginning at the northern
end of Main Street at what
is known as the Klein.Gib'
bon corner and running
along the .Gibbon Line
to Yokely Canal lat which
point you enter the property
of the Columbia Sugar Com
pany), from this point
through the right Of way
over Columbia hereby offered,
up to and on the road known
as the Cow Road, thence
turning at a point about an
acre from the present public
road around Irish Bend, and
running towards the town
of Baldwin, approximately
along the first head land to
the corner known as the Pei
tier corner.
The Police Jury at it's re-
gular session held on last
Wednesday unanimously ap'
proved the recommendations
of the Good Roads Commits
sion and by ordinance adopt
ed finally the route or road
proposed by the Commission.
The Banner fully endorses
this action of the Police
Jury, and we feel confident
that, under the circumstances
which actuated the selection
it will receive general appro
baton. The Parish at this
time has not the money tc
build a model road arounC
the Bend, but the route &c
lected between Franklin an(
Balwin affords convenience
of travel to a goodly numbe
of the people living in tn
Bend. In constructing
main highway through a Par
ish, it is not possible to Civ
equal direct convenience t.
all portions thereof, but j
should be located, however
20 as to give free access to i
to the people living on othe
roads. This the Good Road
Commission and the Polio
Jury have done.
