HORTON PROPOSES
TO REDUCE GRADE
NEAR HOSPITAL SITE

Surveyor Horton will ask county
commissioners in session tomorrow to
petition county council for an appro-
priation to cut down the steep hill Oil
the Liberty pike five miles south OF
Richmond near Elkhorn.
The hill which extends south from
deep valley is extremely dangerous
because of curves in the road and the
narrowness of the grade. Several
years ago a man driving an Interna-
tional Harvester company truck up the
hill lost control of the machine and
was killed. Other minor accidents
have occurred on the grade since then.
The improvement is of especial in
terest because of the proposed dona-
ton of Smithdale for county tuber-
culosis hospital.
