The Wayne County Old Trails Road
association was organized almost q
year ago. Through its efforts there
nave deem held in the county more
lnan twenty-five public meetings in
the interest of good roads. Some of
the meetings were very largely at
tended. Through its efforts the good
roads sentiment in the county has
neen greatly increased and crystal
lzen INTO definite action. The Fourth
OF July celebration held at Center
Viiie was one of the best ever held
In the county. The speeches by the
Hon Dudley Foulke, Hon Addison

In drafting bill to present to the
next legislature, creating a highway
commission. Ideas which resulted in
formation of the 1875 club originated
with the members of the Old Trails
association. They have local organi-

the county. Some of these have not

In each township organization there
was appointed a committee on his

centennial committee il. collecting in.
formation of interest for a centennial
celebration. Each township through

and Township Old Trails
association should hold meeting for
the purpose of bringing out and
bringing together historical incidents
and relics and devotfng a day for that
purpose, record being kept of all
papers and incidents by the township
trustee and county historical society

Each township would thus be of
great assistance in the centennial
celebration held later by the county.
This association should render what
ever assistance it can to the splendid

of Richmond will undoubtedly hold

CONTRACTORS SURVEY
OLD NATIONAL ROAD

Although announcement was made
Saturday that the National road will
be reconstructed with concrete from
the Henry county line to the Wayne
township line, several contractors
have arrived to investigate the pro-
posed improvement. County officials
believe that at least twenty-five differ.
ent companies will bid on the road.
The fact that the improvement is
the first permanent work to be under
taken on the National road. has at
tracted widespread attention 1t is
believed that this competition and the
fact that the concrete companies de
sire to make a good showing for this
type of road, will result in low bids.
Contractors are investigating the
gravel supply in the county and sew.
era1 firms have already secured op-
tons on gravel beds.
