Boyer Rivsr-More Than $200,0O0 OF
Cost to Be Met BY Federal Appro;
priation-Farm to Be Assessed.

Denison. March 2i.-The board OF
supervisors has placed an order for
sufficient materials to pave the Lin
coin highway from the west line OF
the Denison city limits as far as Arton
or possibly to the Boyer bridge near
Dow City. The decision to lay this
pavement at this time was made in
order to get Crawford county u share
Of the federal aid.
Brick surface on n concrete base was
selected in the specifications and the
pavement Is to be laid eighteen feet
wide. 1t is aimed to have the work
completed this season, tho 1t Is feared
this may not be accomplished entirely
unless all materials can be obtained.
In order to hasten the project II Is
planned to have two sidings placed on
the Northwestern railway. one at the
old Beerman crossing near Denison
and the other at the crossing near the
William Eggers farm near Arion. This
will speed the placing of materials and
save n large amount of the hauling.
About S202, 900 of the cost will be
taken care of 10y federal aid. leaving
about % per cent of the total cost to
be assessed to the abutting farms.
