from Salina to Minneapolis by way
of Bennington has been made py tne
Kansas division of the Meridian lSoau
Association. This action was taken
in order to secure federal aid Tor the
highway this year, as the Ottawa
county people had neglected to sign
natitions for the paving Of the old
road in that county, while the resi-
dants along the road from Benning-
ron TO Minneapolis had their petl-
lions on file.
Under these circumstances there
was nothing for the association TO do
hut designate the road from Salina to
ottawa by way of Bennington ms the
official road, taking care of the old
Meridian road through Saline county
later. This action means that work
on the Meridian road between Salina
and Minneapolis can be started soon,
as the petitions have all been MED
and the road will be approved by the
state highway commission this week
