ter Of claiming it's allotment OF the
Federal Aid Money.
AS is well known our County spent
well above a half million dollars in
the last few years and not penny
of Federal aid has been asked or Sc
cured. Whereas if proper steps are
taken we would be able to secure dol
lar for dolla- from the Government
for the building, improvement and
hard surfacing of our inter-county
highways. 1t is to be hoped that our
business men will no longer delay IN
initiating this important movement
and that we will keep step with our
neighboring counties in the matter OF
road connections and road building.
