PLANS APPROVED FOR
PROPOSED ROAD
Highway Commission Passed Or Pho
posed Road to Madison County

Information has been received from
the State Highway Commission APP
proving the plan for a modern road
to be constructed from Springdale to
the Madison County line. The survey
was made several weeks ago by the
state engineer, and as surveyed there
are two sections Of the road north to
Benton County, one coming in by the
W. B. Brogdon farm, known locally as
the east road, and the other coming by
the old Clemmer place ON what is
known as the west road
They come together at the
north end of Mill Street, near the resi-
dence of Mayor Smith, and on to the
business street of the town. Here the
road divides, one section going west
on Emma Avenue and thence south to
the Prairie Township line, near the
bridge across Clear Greek, beyond the
Van PeersOn place The other sec
ton goes east on Emma Avenue, by
Hewitt's spring, crossing White River
at the county bridge, and on east
through Spring VALLEY about one mile
to the Madison County line.
It is now up TO the people of Spring
dale and all those living along the
proposed road to get busy. Under
provisions of recent national and state
laws enough aid can be secured to
pay for half the construction of the
road, the other half to be paid by the
people Of the affected district It is
planned 20 form improvement dis
trict under the Alexander road law
and raise this money by taxation. The
payments will be extended over a
period of years, and will be so small
as to cause no hardship to any one.
This IS the=frst real business-hke
proposition to build good road that
has ever been presented to the peo-
pie of this section and The News be
lieves theirbe st judgment will tell
them to grasp this opportunity to Sc
cure the road. If the state and gen
eral government was to make you a
proposition to furnish you deed to
an eighty acre farm if you would pay
only half the cost Of the farm there
would be some lively scratching
around on your part to raise your
half of the money. That is the iden-
teal situation with reference to this
road Will we accept the PROPOSE
ton? Well, watch US.
