Summer Colonists
Want Better Road

A petition is now being clrculat.
ed by members OF the summer col.
ony at Antioch on the Valley river
asking the county court to build a
road past their property giving
them an outlet to an improved high
way. The movement is also being
supported by the residents Of Col.
fax.
The petition prays that a new
road up and down the Valley be
built on the south side Of the river
from the bridge at Benton's Ferry
to the bridge at Colfax. This would
put the property owners there
within few minutes drive OF the
improved highway near the inter.
section OF the Grafton and Clarks.
burg pixies.
The Colfax people now depend
on the old pike through Union dis.
trict which is generally impossible
In winter. With the proposed new
improvement, the travel could be
possible to Fairmont all the year
in less time than they could como
in over the old pake.
Many are signing the petition
which 1t Is expected will be turned
over to the proper county officials
within a few days.
