VIOLA 70 FIGHT
AGAINST ROUTE
Of STATE ROAD

(Special TO The Areps.)


Aledo, Dec. 23.-Preparations BY
the state highway department to
start condemnation proceedings
are reported to have had the effect
Of quickly closing the contracts for
certain right Of way needed for the
hard road route In Mercer county
between Aledo and Rock Island.
Whatever may have been the cause,
the last right Of way was secured
this week, and according to felia-.
BILE reports. the owner was paid at
the rate Of $3.50 an acre for the
land secured and 1t was further
agreed that cattle driveway would
be constructed underneath the road
way.
II While it. cannot be denied that
cutting q road through q farm Is q
damage to that piece Of property,
yet 1t. is also evident that the ,con-
struction Of hard road past q place
adds to its value and many con-
slider that this more than balances
any damage done.
Reports from Viola state that the
parties In that section who have
fought ever move to place the hard
road through the county seat, Ale
do, are now raising the legality Of
the action of the board of super
vfsors in agreeing to pay for the
right Of way for the state hard
road route. This is made in face
Of the action of the board which ap-
pointed committee to attempt to
get the state aid route which is
now a part Of the state hard road
route, transferred to the road run
ming from Viola to Presumption.
TO an innocent bystander it looks
much like . case of sour grapes.
