aid program for next year calling for
the construction of a concrete highway
beginning at the intersection of Third
avenue and Wausau avenue, along
Highway No. TO- and running in a
northerly direction as far as the mon
ey will make possible construction.
1t was announced that this amount
will in all probability make possible
! a concrete highway for two miles out
on the Merrill road.

pave No. 10 from Bridge street in the

state aid project, the county board au-
thorized the appropriation of $4,000

come from the city of Wausau.
The program also carries with it an
appropriation of $4,000 for the i'm
provement grading and surfacing of

begin where construction left off in
1921. The sum of $4,000 will be ap-
propriated for grading ands urfacing
