BEST ROAD TO
FRANKLIN SET
Masons Making Trip Are Told
to Take Bargersville
Route.

Members Of the Masonic order in Indi-
annapolis and vicinity who are planning
to drive to Franklin next Sunday to at
tend the all-day basket dinner and con-
sscration exercises of the Scottish Rite
World War Memorial building at the
Indiana Masonic Home are advised to
use the South Meridian street road via
Bargersville. in a statement issued by
NJ. e. Noblet, secretary Of the Hoosier
Motor Club. Mr.. Noblet also states that
the Hoosier Motor Club has arranged
to provide emergency service trucks
along this route to take care Of any
cases of trouble that may develop in the
cavalcade, this service to be free to all
motorists, whether members Of the Hoo
sier Motor Club or not.
1.-The better route to Franklin Is by
way of the South Meridian street road"
said Mr.. Noblet. 'Tt will be NECESSARY
to go by way Of Illinois street, however,
since Meridian street is being resurfaced
south of the Union Station. Starting
out Illinois street south, following the
street car tracks, the motorist will bend
into Meridian street. All that is neces-
sary then is to follow the car tracks and
continue straight south. About twelve
miles out there is a right and left jog
The road then continues straight into
Bargersville, eighteen miles south Of In
dianapolis. A big sign on the roof of
the corner store points the way to Frank
lin, six miles distant"
Mr.. Noblet says the Jackson highway
road by way Of Madison avenue, South
port and Greenwood is rough in the
places where the hard surface paving has
lot been laid, and in addition there is
a rough detour. 1.-THE Bargersville route
is in fair condition" he said, land our
service representatives will have emer-
gency trucks along this line which any
motorist in trouble is invited to use,
without charge"
Special town and other emergency
service Is hereafter to be a regular fea-
ture of the Hoosier Motor Club, accord
ing to Mr.. Noblet. I'VE have arranged
with the Automotive Ambulance Service
to provide this protection to our members
at one-half the charges made to the
