 OF ROAD WORK

WASHR 'GTON, March % Ed win T. Meredith, ne'Yly appointed sec. retary of agriculture, believes thcre should bc active continuation of pres ent fode, al and state cooperation Tn connecting state road systems With the system of adjoining states in or der that the working out of an ade. quate highway program for the whole United States may proceed in an "> d,r'y manner. He also advocates the cont 'nuance of work now going for ward under the federal aid road law.
 "As 1921 is the last year covered by the law" MT. Meredith says, "it v'ou'd be highly desirable, in my opin- ion, for Congress to make provision as promptly as possible for the con tinuation of the work under the pres ent system by an appropriation of at least $1OO,OOO,OOo for each of the four fiscal years beginning 1922"

WILL GRAVEL IL MILES

The State Highway commission is
advertising for bids for the graveling
of the road between Volga and AL
ington this being twelve miles of the
state road system lying within this
county, and is a part Of the BLACK
and Yellow Trail" The bids received
will be opened April 8 at Huron and
if satisfactory figures are offered in
the bids the work will be begun as
soon as can be arranged for, and no
doubt it can be completed during the
present season. VOlga citizens are
said to be very much dissatisfied with
the decision of the state commission
to designate for this improvement the
road which enters the village at its
extreme southern limits instead of the
one which passes through the main
business section the latter being
formerly a part of the regular Black
and Yellow route. but the comm's-
sion took the action il did in order
to avoid the necessity of crossing the
line of the C. & NV. railway.
