STATE HIGHWAY
/ $4,000 VIII be Expended on the Ste
yens Point Wausau Road in 1918.

It is the intention of the State High
way commission to build the first main
highway from Beloit to Ashland, which
will be the backbone of the highway
system, north and south To this end
$4,000 is to be spent on the road from
the Marathon county line south into
Portage county, and $4,000 from the
south line of Marathon county, north
into Marathon county.
1t is estimated that $4,000 will build
one mile of gravel or gravel-macadam
road, so that about 10 miles of the road
will be completed in 1918 between
here and Stevens Point. One-third of
the money is to come from the state;
one-third from the United States and
one-third from the county. 1t is be-
lieved that the cost is high and that
such roads can be built in this and
Portage counties>for much less mile
and fully sixteen or eighteen miles
will be completed for the money.
