$1,000 ON 4 MILES OF oID TRAIL
Dickinson County Contemplates Ex+
penditure on Santa Fe Trail

"The county commissioners have
set apart $1,000 for improvements
on that part OF the Old Trail run
ming through this part of the coun-
ty. However, this does not include
that part OF the road which runs
through the city limits, the mayor
and council being expected to look
after that. Ed. Ringey is in charge
Of the road work and is now cut
ting down the hill near Liggett's
barn. D. e. Lamb is general over
seer. When Mr.. Ringey gets through
his work and the city gets busy on
its part Of the road, the Old Trail
will be greatly improved" says the
Harrington Times.
This work is being done on the
four miles of this route in the
county and outside of the city limits
OF Harrington. The total length of
the Santa Fe or Old Trail In Dick
inson is a fraction over five miles.
The exact amount that win be spent
cannot be determined until the bills
come up to the county for payment
after the work has been completed,
only then will the county commits
sioners and the engineer take action
to approve or not allow. The coun-
ty officials, including the commits
sioners and engineer, inspected this
trail and they considered that $1,000
could be spent on the four miles.
There is some extensive grading to
be done.
This route passes through the
extreme southeast corner of the
county. The improving is now going
on, and the township road machin-
cry is being used.

The bridge across the Smoky Hill
