TWO MILES MORE
CONCRETE ROAD
IN THIS COUNTY
State Road Commissioner Dix
Makes Half Promise
WAS IN TOWN YESTERDAY
Bennington County Due to Have
Federal-State Job Next Year,
Probably in Pownal
WAS IN TOWN YESTERDAY

A further section OF permanent
highway will in all probability be built
in Bennington county with money
provided by the State and National
government in 1928. This was the
impression given by Hon. Thurman
w. Dix, Highway Commissioners Of
the State who was in town yesterday,
This matter was taken up by the
State Highway Commission at Mont
peler Tuesday evening Of this week
and it was then decided to build on
the line between Massachusetts and
the town of Bennington approximately
two miles OF new highway and 1t was
ordered that the section to be built
should be surveyed this fall, 1t will
probably be butt Of concrete.
Just where this approved section
will begin and end has not been def
nitely decided There Is some senti-
ment in the board for starting at the
Massachusetts line and coming north
in Pownal but the board is being Wig
orously urged to begin construction
at the south line of the vii age o!
Bennington and work south
This matter has been under discus
sion for some little time between the
State Highway Commissioner and the
local representatives and it was
hoped that the State Highway Com
mission would this fall approve and
survey the entire road from the
Massachusetts, Inc TO Remington 50
that the same could be wholly built
in 1928.
The State Highway Commissioner
was apparently very much in favor
of this way Of handling ii but said
that there was not enough money
available to permit Il He also stat
ed that 1t might be possible to in
crease the mi cage to be built but
this depends to a great degree upon
the coming legislature and appropri-
ations which II may make.

GETTING PLANS

Well Known Homes
$25, 900 MUST BE PRODUCED

executive comittee and the field cam.

The property Of the late DR.. f. s.
Pratt at the corner OF Elm and Wash
ington street was purchased some
time ago by Mr. Winslow.
Mr.. Winslow purchased the proper.
ty from the Pratt heirs and has,
agreed to sell it to the CorporatitS
for the price paid by him namely,
$4,000. 1t is contemplated that the
Corporation will purchase II from
him at this figure and In order to pro
vide funds to pay this amount, as
well as something for making neces.
sary changes, furnishing and main.

provided a like sum Is raised
The property is In fine shape but
will have to have interior changes
and subdivisions to fit 1t for oc.
cupancy by those who will naturally
become guests OF home for the
aged.
These changes or alterations will
take some time and cost several
thousand dollars but it is hoped to
have the plan ready so that work can
be begun Immediately after Novem-
Der |.
There is also the question of fur
nishing the home. Many people have
signitied desire to give various ar
ticles and in other places societies
and churches have taken up the
work of furnishing various rooms.
If Benn ngton people are equally gen.
erous the cost of furnishing will not
be excessive.
The details OF an actual working
plan to run the home wi be decided
upon within q few days. At the
meeting last night Hiram l.. Hall was
appointed committee to visit the
home at Greenwich and learn what
experience has taught in the way Of
managing that home. On a similar
errand Judge Meagher VIII visit the

OUR ANCESTORS TREATED
CONSTIPATION NATURALLY

Constipation is as old as the world
Most people must fight it from birth
to death. Some use harsh cathartics
or metallic drugs that force relief, but
do not strengthen the organs so that
they perform their funct ons normal
ly.
Our early ancestors turned to
Nature for pleasant relief. From
herbs, barks, roots and leaves bless
ed with laxative properties, they pre-
pared a pleasant, effective extract.
Such a remedy as our forefathers
made is DR.. True's Elixir, the True
Family Laxative and Worm ExpeIler
Prescribed for his patients originally
seyenty-two years ago by Dr.. j. F.
True, a conscientious Maine country
doctor it has become a household
favorite. Contains pure extracts OF
imported herbs that purify the bowels
,as they cleanse. Used over 10 years.
