FEDERAL POST ROAD
IS ALMOST ASSURED
More Than $4,000 Raised
Ten Thousand More
In Sight.

The building of the federal post
road from Greensboro to Rowling
Green, is now practical certainty.
Daviess, Warren and Butler counties
nave already provided for their part
of the expense, and the amount al
ready subscribed in Ohio county
assures the success of the sum to
be raised by popular substitution.
The total expense of the road through
ONO county is calculated at $780,
900. OF this sum the federal govern
ment will pay 100000, or so per
cent, the state $40, 900, or ten per
cent and the county $4,000, or for
ty per cent. The fiscal court ap-
propriated $4,000, leaving forty
thousand additional to be raised by
popular subscription. Already s43.-
600 has been subscribed. However.
some allowance must be made for
possible delinquency on the subscrip-
tons, and the'federal authorities will
expect total subscription of $4,000.
which will be easily raised. OF the
amounts so far subscribed Hartford.
from the McMurtry farm to the foot
of the Williams hill, subscribed SILL
600, the section from McMurtry farm
to Maxwell $4,000 and from the Will
liams hill to Green river $4,000,
making a total of SAB, 900. The build
ing of the road is now practically as
sured, but the routing, which must
be done by the federal authorities,
has not been definitely determined
Within the last few days the people
living along the Buford, Pleasant
Ridge road have been active in an
effort to raise subscriptions to en-.
courage the routing of the road along
the present Hartford and Greensboro
highway. Should these people sue
coed in raising the requisite amount
of money it would then be up to the
federal road authorities to elect be-
tween the Heflin-Maxwell and the
Buford-Pleasant Ridge routes. 1t
should be clearly understood that
neither the Ohio county Fiscal court
nor those actively engaged in raising
the required private subscriptions
will determine the route of the post
road; that determination being solely
with the federal road authorities.
There is not a reasonable doubt
tina. the full fifty thousand dollars
viii be subs ribed by the close of
the present week, and If the assuI-
ances OF the County's. !ilaLc'a' as
sistance proves satisfactory to the
federal road authorities, work on the
proposed post road may be under way
within sixty days.
Judge Cook, County Attorney Kirk
and Mr.. John H. Barnes, of Beaver
Dam, went to Louisville yesterday
where they met with the state and
federal road authorities. At this
the Greensboro Bowling
Green post road was to be finally
passed on. but at the hour of going
to press we were unable to learn what
action had been taken.
