Ahead with This Work on
Roads.
SENTIMENT FAVORABLE
About the Only Question to be De.
cided Now Is What Kind of Sur
face Should be
Used.

Lee county is going 20 vote on the
question of hard surfacing OF two

one into Keokuk, October z. The
board of supervisors has taken the
preliminary steps necessary tc the
holding of the election. and 1t will be

that the total allotment to April
1919, is $33,759.93. The estimated
fund available in 1919 and 1920 is
S105, 962.68. This would make the
total amount available close to $780,
100000, according to the table.
A man who is familiar with the
proposed road work said today that
he believed there would be no doubt
but that the election would approve
of the going ahead in the hard sur
facing Of the roads. There is ser
timent in its favor AL over the
county, and about the only question
now is the kind of hard surface to
use,
The election next month Is purely
on the matter Of hard surfacing.

open in Ksokuk from to Z, and out
In the districts where there is no
registration necessary, polls win be
