A ROAD STATEMENT
Tarah Tarbutton Senda in
Check for Mansfield
Hartville Road

Durlng the winters OF 1915 It,
II, Tarah Tarbutton, who was
mail contractor, secured dona.
tions to be used in spreading
gravel on the fiat between
Hartville and Mansfield. During
the winter months the FIAT"
gets so soft that even vehicle
travel at times has been stopped.
Each winter the road becomes a
menace to the travelling public.
In December 1915 Mr.. Tarbutton
circulated a subscription paper
in both Mansfield and Hartville
and expended the money in fill.
ing the worst of the mud holes
with gravel In 1861 he again.
secured donations and the coun.
ty court gave him a warrant and
the road drag com mission set a.
side the fund belonging to that
road. Mr.. Tarbutton knew just
where the gravel was most need.
ed and by personal supervision
was able to get the worth of his
money in work. Several months
ago he sold out and made arrange
ments with his brother Will
Tarbutton to use the money re.
naming on hand by the sape
system he had been using.
Will Tarbutton has now moved
to Alton. Neb., and this week
Tarah mailed a check for $276 10
to Highway Engineer W. R.
Wood requesting that this
money be used to gravel the
fiat" as he had promised. On
the same mail we received a
statement from the Farmers and
Merchants Bank at Mansfield ac.'
companied by the cancelled
checks for all money spent on
the road. All payments had
been made by check aud left
with the bank until the account
was closed. The people OF the
County should be grateful to Mr..
for the interest he
has taken. We believe his work
has been of more lasting benefit
than any similar amount 1884.
4O) ever spent on roads in Wright
county and we sincerly hope the
Highway Engineer will see that
the remainder ($276 1O is spent
in like manner as intended by
the donors. Mr. Tarbutton is
to be complimented upon his
carefulness in making indispu.
table record of these expendi-
lures even though they were
donations.
Editor G. W. Summers has
kindly sent US the above article,
which will appear in this weeks
Hartville Democrat. We have
seen the statement from the bank
and the cancelled checks and
Mr.. Summers has seen the
Highway Engineer and the check
for $276 10 which is to be spent
where it is needed, in a place
where it will be appreciated and
where those contributing the
fund expect it to be expended in
graveling the worst winter road
in Wright county and the most
travelled road in this section of
the state, the Mansfield Hartyille
road.
