best citizens of this state.

ROAD TO ATCHISON
Federal Aid for Highway Link
Now Seems Assured.
Petitions From Three Counties
Have Been Filed.

Practical assurance of federal aid
for the Topeka-Atchison link of the
Southwest Trail was made today when
petitions for hard surface roads in
Atchison county reached the office of
the state highway commission. Petit
lions covering the entire length of the
trail thru Shawnee, jefferson and
Atchison counties from Topeka to
Atchison have now been filed. Con-
struction work will doubtless begin in
the three counties next year.
Shawnee and jefferson counties
have already received approval of ap-
plication for federal aid. The Shaw
from Topeka beyond the county home
and to Meriden over the Capital high
way. jefferson county petitions have
been approved and contracts in the
two counties are expected to be let in
time to begin active construction early
next year.
Recently Atchison county sought ap-
prevail of dirt road covering its share
Of the trail. These petitions were re-
jected by the state commission. This
morning new petitions came to To-
peka. The county now applies for fed
eral aid for brick. concrete or gravel
construction. Action on the new petit
tions will be taken at the meeting Of
the state commission next week.
The Topeka-Lawrence- kansas City
Leavenworth road is now under con-
structiOn in Shawnee county. 1t is
probable that the labor situation will
not permit the building of the Shaw
nee county link Of the Topeka-Atchi-
son road until next spring. In event
Atchison county receives federal aid
y which now seems assured - con-
tracts may be let in each of the three
counties during next winter with con-
struction starting in the early spring.
