Hard-surfacing Of the Jefferson High
way or any other state road, leading
south from the city, this year, has gone
glimmering, through the action Of the
State highway commissioner. It had
been supposed that hard-surfacing over
the Jefferson Highway for six or seven
miles from the southern limits Of the
city this year was an assured fact. AS
will be seen in another column the hard
surface route has been completely taken
away from the Jefferson Highway be.

ers on account of the increase in cost
of construction Of an entirely new road
bed and we understand, the feeling that
it was properly placed on the Jefferson
Highway, will leave the matter entirely
to state highway commissioner, and the
bonds which were to be sold in the sum
of 100000 to apply on this particular
work will not be issued. It would ap-
pear that when a county is willing to
float this sum of bonds contingent on
a proposed amendment becoming law,
that their wishes should receive the
consideration which is due them, at
least of a public hearing before the
change was made, which is not asking
more than was granted the commission
er when the matter of floating bonds
was taken up to forward the proposals
Of that department. We are not pre-
pared to say that the new route will
not eventually be the best route, but we
do believe that Morrison county
through its commissioners or it's people
generally should have voice in the
matter, even though the law may pro-
vide for arbitrary action.
