 Gathered Road Building Data.

NdtueEeu D0tas
 County Judge H. w. Finger re- turned Tuesday from trip to Alvin, Houston and Longview, Tex, having been away for about a week. At AL win he visited the family of his oldest brother, who had passed away last September. He found that the only two sons in the family were at the fronts, and that the widowed mother, with the help of the daughters, was looking after the farm since the death of his brother. At Houston he spent considerable time with his youngest brother, who is superintendent of Hayden & Aston, road building con- tractors.
 While Mir. Fingers trip was made mainly to visit relatives, he put in a good deal of time studying road con- struction, and making investigations of the different materials used in the construction of permanent highways. Thru his brother he had a splendid opportunity to do this, making a trip over a portion of the Jefferson high way which passes thru Longview, and also Investigating some of the shell roads of the south. He was given the assurance by his brother that when Polk county gets ready to start road construction, he would come to Mena and make an investigation of the material at hand suitable for road construction, and doing any, thing else that would be helpful to the County Judge and the people in the improvement district in securing the best possible permanent road.
