Farmers KICK;
Road Not Fixed

Aurora, Oct. 22.-Some of the
farmers on the Donald road by
way of what is known as the Ur-
ban Hill are complaining serious
ly over the condition of the road.
They say that little or no improve
ment has been made there fol sew
eral years. Deep ruts ar in the road
all along rendering it entirely i'm
passible for automobile traffic
Those interested in the road
seem to feel that they have not
been treated fairly, as year after
var mas passed without an effort
to improve the conditions. They
are now at point where consid-
GRAFTON is demanded.
From the Urban hill to point
where the road joins the Donald
road district, it is said, there is not
foot of good road. This is in Au-
rora No. l, and the Butteville No.
So. The Donald end of the road is
well greveled and farmers can see
no good reason why their portion
of this highway cannot be improved
Immediately. 1t is suggested that a
committee of farmers meet with
the county court and Sc what can
be done to relieve the situation.
