CALLS FOR RELETTING OF
COUNTY SECTION.

Hints that La Sale County's road
plans have been given a severe set
to the local divisional headquarters of
the state highways board and County
Superintendent of Highways George L.
Farnsworth. Reports reaching Ottawa
indicate that the twenty-mles of fed

no nearer completion than they were
six months ago, despite messages sent
out of Springfield on July 80 announc-
ing awards to the Central Engineering
Company of Davenport, Iowa; Warsaw

The extremely high cost of building
the roads estimated at SStl ,962 for
the route from Morris to La Salle-is
said to have offered stumbling block

a strong suspicion something has hap
pened to give the important work IA de.
