The Following Letter Received By
Citizen Of Marion Settles Part Of

Commonwealth of Kentucky,
Department of Public Roads,.
Frankfort, KY,
April 16, 1916.
Robert C.sTerrell,
Commissioner.
Dear SIR
The law plainly states that
roads should be built on inter-
county seat roads to adjoining
counties in adjacent states as
we'll as TO adjoining counties in
the state. There is no reason
why a road could not be built
from Marion to a point on the
river most convenient for cross.
ing to E!izabethtown, in Hardin
county, Illinois.
Furthermore. when other in
ter-county seat roads have been
constructed, the money available
may be used for the construction
of roads that are of sufficient i'm
portance to be considered by the
Highway Commissioner as avail
able to receive State aid. When
you have built your road to Union
county, to Webster county, to
Caldwell county, to Lyon county
TO Livingston county and to Har-
Gin county, Ills, then any other
roads that are of sufficient i'm
portance to receive State aid may
be taken up and built. However.
| do not believe that, with the
amount of your bond issue. you
will be able to complete any more
than the inter county seat roads
and possibly not so much, but
each of the inter-county seat
roads may be commenced and
carried as far toward the COM
pletiOn as the money available
will permit.
Yours very truly.

Commissioner of Public Roads.

Taryins Ear Muii Story.

Our, distinguished fellow citi.
zen. Mr.. j. c. Tarvin. comes
from the state Of Florida, where
good roads abound. Discussing
theSquestion Of good roads in
Crittenden county he said:
The question OF good roads
in this county reminds me of the
ear muf" story Ever hear the
ear muf story, huh? Well il
goes something like this:
"A man with a new pair Of
ear mlfs on was standing in a
saloon with his left elbow resting
on the left end of the bar count.
er as YOU face the bar keep. A
very good friend of his came in
and leaned on his right elbow on
the right end OF the bar counter,
as you face the bar keep. The
good friend said: Sam have a
drink" and reapted the invitation.
The ear mufT man did not hear
him. The good friend finished his
drink and left,
Then the bar keep polishing
the top of the bar matted within
two feet OF the ear muif man
and said: Sam are you sick?'
mo-" he replied, "whyT'
Your good friend asked. you to
have a drink just now" Said the
bar keep. Sam ierked off the
ear muirs and said: did he ask
me to have a drink" He Ger.
tainly did. " The ear muff man
walked to the stove and dropping
the nnifs said: mix on the ear
NUTS from this on, I'll, never
wear another pair as long as
live"
Now when the people OF
Crittenden get their ear ssmuifs
off, they will never have bad
roads agan as long as they live" "
