County Judge, Not Polk

to Blame for Road Tanqle

sion advised Judge Robinson that
unless the roadbed Of the highway
south of Monmouth was graded
according to agreement, the high
way commission would suspend
work on the Salem Dallas road.
People are MisIed
When the announcement was
made that work on the Salem-Dal-
las road was to be suspended, the
Polk county people with whom the
highway commission had made the
"gentlemen's agreement" construed
the act as violation of the
agreement on the part of the high
way commission and the injunc-
tion suit was filed.
A survey Of public opinion in
Polk county today, it is alleged,
would show an almost unanimous
sentiment in favor of the road
program as agreed upon at the
Rickreall meeting and vote on
the proposal that the county pre-
pare the roadbed for the highway
south Of Monmouth. despite the
position of Judge Robinson, would
carry by a substantial majority.

county are in favor of fulfilling

it stood prior to the present con-

explain the position of Judge
Robinson, who. it is asserted, made
