HIGHWAY TO COME
THROUGH NEWARK
Work on Old Route Begins as
Result of Recent
Conference

Free discussion of the relative
merits of the proposed routes for the
Lincoln Highway feeder through New
ark, took place at conference held
at the Deer Park Hotel last Friday.
Governor William D. Denney, who is
particularly interested in the matter
because Of a bill passed by the Legis-
lature covering this matter and await
ing his signature, was an interested
listener. The Levy Court was repre-
sented by Harry V. Buckson, S. A..
Collins, Albert Stetser, Boyd Mccoy
and James Ball.
Senator James w. Robertson, B. F.
Shaw, former Levy Court Commits
sioner; w. w. Mack of the State
Highway Department; Levy Court
Attorney Percy Warren Green; and
Charles G. Guyer, Court stenographer,
were among those present.
A. A. Curtis, Wilbur Wilson and
other Newark residents expressed
their opinions in the matter and most
of those who voiced their opinions
favored the route originally fixed by
the road commission in preference to
that indicated in a measure sponsored
by Senator John F. Richards and
passed by the Legislature. Governor
Denney seemed to be impressed by the
merits of the argument favoring the
original route.
Subsequent developments proved
that this is the route to be followed
for what is understood to be tenn
porary arrangement. Work will be
started on this section Immediately.
East Main Street beyong the Wilson
property will be elevated about 2 feet
to avoid a steep grade at that point
and to conform with the general high
way elevation. The road will bend
northward near George Leaks garage,
pass under the B. & o. railroad, and
through the Lum property to connect
with the completed section at Rose
vile.

According to announcement made
by Reverend Frank Herson, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
services will be held in that church at
the usual hours next Sunday. The

this year will tax the capacity of
Wolf Hall and render impossible the
holding of joint service this year.

preached to large congregation on
"a Young Mans Eyesight." In the
evening he preached the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduates of the New
ark High School His subject was
"The Bonded Life" He drew COM
parison between the business inter-
probation of bonding and the same as
applied to life. He reminded the young
folks that they are bonded in three
ways: to their future, to society, and
to God. He reminded them of their
bond to their parents, and to the dis
trict which provides the means OF
education for them.
On Monday evening the Young
Women's Home Missionary Society
held an interesting meeting at the
home of Miss Edna Campbell.
