START new HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENTS SOON

The road building program for the
next few years for Wayne county will
probably be tentatively established
soon.
Out of the 20 miles of concrete
roads asked by petition since the pas
sage of the county unit road law, the
commissioners must select part Tor
beginning of construction this sum-
mer and fall, and it is reported they
will decide to begin the construction
of the Hagerstown pike and the bos-
ton pike as soon as possible.
Petitions for roads, which embrace
the New Paris pike and the Commons
road, beside the two mentioned above,
will be considered by the commission
ers Saturday, If they decide that these
roads are a public utility they will be
referred to the county council for its
approval and to the county engineer
for plans.
Since, however, the roads now asked
for would cost almost a million dol
lars it will probably not be possible
to begin the construction of all of
them this summer, and the commits
sioners may choose to begin the Ha-
gerstown pike and the Boston pike,
which are the heaviest travelled roads
to remain under county jurisdiction
under the new law.
