Gentlemen:
| would respectfully call your
attention to the condition of the
highway from the Steer Greek
bridge in Raglan township near

the roadway till the present road
is in ditch which is almost i'm
passable at times. Since you have
established the McCabe change

road could be changed to great
advantage. / hereby recommend
this change.
