OF crossing accidents. Tho objection
Of tho Ledrand residents Is that the
shortcut would OF necessity close the
crossing MT the south OF the town, and
would compel north and south travel
to take longer course. II was argued
In answer that the north and south
travel IL not more than l or per cent
of the total travel that would be af-
fectcd by the change.
leGrand Residents File Protest.
In an effort to prevent the change
delegation of LeGrand citizens has
waited on the board of supervisors
and presented their side of the ques-
ton. The question of the incorpora-
ton of the town of LeGrand was
Brought up and a hasty scanning of the
county records failed TO show fling OF
the Incorporation. Search OF the
records however. was begun in files
of too ancient origin and led to the
belief that the town never was in
corporated, This, however, was not the
case and further search, In later re-
cords, showed articles to have been
filed.
The proposed change had been dis
cussed by the county board with rail-
road officials and approved by the
latter, who desired to eliminate the
hazard OF dangerous crossings. No pro
posal was made by the railroad COM
pany, however, to bear all or any
portion of the expense, which was
roughly estimated TO be about $4,000.
Judging by the spirit shown by the
road officials, however, and by the
action Of other roads in similar cases,
It was believed that the Northwestern
would stand at least part of the cx-
penso. LeGrand residents seem to
have gained the impression that the
county board had received an offer
from the railroad to pay $4,000 for the
change In the roadway.
Further Action Next Week.
Further action on the proposed
change has been delayed until next
week, when the county board again
will consider the whole scheme of i'm
provement and endeavor to arrive at
conclusion. which will meet with the
approval of the greatest number of the
travelling public affected.
AS the highway now runs the menace
of dangerous crossings exists and in
