important links in the North
and South highway, and one
that connects also the Lewis and

price is $76,780.
1t is understood that the state
highway will receive another
coat of four inches of gravel,
which will be welcome news to
the community in general as the
road between Genesee and Mos
cow never has been what might
be termed good road. 1t is
