railroad to the west end: the county
line from Kughn's corner to the race
track; four blocks of Tracy street and
two blocks of Garfield. If there is suf

Ackley.
The Ackley Cemetery Association has
let contract with Ed Sawyer and
Aleidus Victor for the construction Of
a new system of macadamized roads in
the Ackley cemetery just north of the
county line road. The roads are to be
eight feet in width, and if taken to-
gether would total about 1876 rods in
| length The roads are to be so con-
structed as to make access to any part
| of the cemetery as convenient as pos
sible. With the new arrangement COM
pleted. great amount of space which
until the present had been utilized as
drive-ways, will be available for new
lots. 1t is estimated that the new ar
rangement will place at the disposal of
the cemetery association at least $50
additional lots, of most desirable loca-
ton.
