we expect during the year to re.
gravel the road from Ardmore
through Berwyn TO Sulphur, and also
to improve the by-roads in the Ber-
wyn district.
The land owners living along Cad.
do ottoms north Of Baum have made
a proposition TO furnish teams and
gravel free for the graveling Of the
road from Baum north TO where it
joins the state highway east Of Ber-
wyn near Uncle Bud Young's home.
Mannsville Road to Be Graveled.
1T IS my intention 70 gravel the
Mannsville road from the point where
it leaves the Berwyn road east far
enough to take care Of the black soil
road which ia nearly always impas'
sible in wet weather, and also as
much farther as finances will permit
Effort is now being made by the
leading property owners along this
road to have It declared a state high
way and connect it with the John
ston county road now being built
west CT Tishomingo toward the Carter
county line.
Also, It is my intention to resur.
face and gravel as much Of the
| Springer road as lies In my district,
two miles north OF ArdInore, through
/ Springer TO a point two miles west
Of Springer.
Dangerous Crossing.

Texas now passes from Ardmore by
| the cemetery road south parallelling
/ the Santa Fe tracks to Overlook
/ intend TO improve this road and gravel
/ 1t TO a point where It crosses the
Santa Fe tracks, which is the end
Of my district. This crossing is ona
Of the most dangerous in the state, A
number Of people were killed there
several years ago.
The railroad here is at a sharI
curve with the road having a high
efnbankment, making Il impractl
cable for an autoist or driver to set
an oncoming train, especially for on'
who is travelling north. Underheat
crossings will be the natural solution
for these problems.
Considerable demand exists for op
ening up short stretches Of new ro9C
in various parts OF my district. This
will be taken care Of as fast as
can get to it.
For the upkeep Of various roads
we are adopting the plan Of givini
each four or five miles 10 some farm

teams. II will be his duty TO dral
the roads with his teams after eacl
rain. and keep the whole stretch II
