Elsewhere will be found a letter
from Mr.. H. D. Griffith, Division
State Highway Engineer, addressed
to County Clerk Huff, stating that the
State Highway Department is about
to settle the question of what route
shall constitute the State Highway
from Ironton to the south end of the
county. Certainly everybody will be
glad that this much mooted PROPOSE
ton is at last to be finally passed on
Everyone interested should read Mr..
Grifith's letter and meet him and Mr..
Malange, State Highway Superintend-
ent, on their visit to Ironton next
Friday.
After Saturday night there will be
no more electric lights unless the diff
ferences between the light company
and the milling company, who furnish
the power, are adjusted. The light
company wanted to pay less for the
service, while the milling company
contend that they are furnishing the
power now as cheap as they possibly
can and will not stand for a cut. We
are told that the light plant here is
being operated at a loss and the pos
sibilities are that the company may
rather give up the franchise than to
go to an additional expense of build
ing a power house, which would also
take some time to do.-Bismarck Ca

Some of our good road advocates
are advancing the idea of Incorporate
ing a special road district embracing
considerable portion of Arcadia Town
ship and a small part of Iron Town.
ship in the vicinity of Graniteville
and Middlebrook. The idea is tc
build a road about two miles west
from Ironton, south to where the
roads fork below Arcadia, east tt
Roselle, north to Graniteville, thence
to Middlebrook. The cost of build
ing these roads it is estimated will
be in the neighborhood of $780, 900. 1t
is proposed to issue bonds to that
amount to cur the necessary funds
Steps leading to the incorporation o
the district will probably be takel
soon.
