AT meeting of the Fiscal
Court, in Mt. Nern,n on Ap1il
18th, for the purpose of determ-
lining on or designating one of the
two proposed routes or roads TO
the Pulaski line, there was a good
many depreciative speeches made
about the Hansford route and its
vicinity. Some .of these things
want to bring out and will ask
and answer some questions and
see if they can be denied or prov
en- to be not fact by people who
are i'm a position to know. Mr..
Scroggins brought into court
map. drawn by himself. of the two
proposed routes, showing a net
work of roads, schools, churches,
stores and post Offices on the
Level Green route, and he showed
the Hansford route and vicinity
skeleton that hardly had a frame.
From his showing on this map, i,
surely would not have stopped a
hole in the ground. Now answer
these questions differently will
you. MIR. Scroggins, or any of
your committee, and prove it.
Oh. Your proposed route
runs through how many voting
precincts:
A Namely, West Mt. Vernon
and Brown.
@ .. How many Magisterial
districts?
A. One, composed of West Mt.
Vernon, Browns and Brodhead
voting precincts.
Q. 3. Is there not another
road routed throug this Magisteri-
al district that makes those two
roads in shape of a V, all in one
precinct and touching on other
precincts?
A. Yes.
Q. 4. Hasn't this same Magis-
terial District another road going
out the Richmond way that is a
liner tolbis district? 1
= A. Yes,
Q. 5. Now, isn't it a fact that
the Hanslord route for the first
