MONETT TO GET
CONCRETE HIGHWAY
High Type Road to be Constructed
From Springfield Through Mo-
nett to Neosh0.

Monett is to get concrete highway
which win extend from Springfield
to Neosho and probably farther. Such
rumor was current on the streets
Wednesday and John P. Davis, secre-
tai of the Monet Commercial Club
sent kilograms to G. M. Shartel and
E. N. Meador, members of the consti-
tutional convention from this dis
trict, who arc at jefferson City, say
ing: Reported here highway COM
mission has designated road from
Springfield to Seneca, concrete. What
about it?"
Mr.. Meador replied us follows;
"Report is found to he correct" Mr.,
Shartel telegraphed;" Highway Com
mission has designated hightype road
Springfield to Neosho. See letter" :"
Larry Brunk, of Aurora, also received
message from Mr.. Shaltel
During the fight for location of the
1900 miles of concrete road in the
state, this section made strong plea
for such a highway on the grounds
that the route through the Frisco
towns should be a primary road as it
has direct connection with state high
ways in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The
commission awarded the section a
federal primary road, which would
have been bituminous bound road.
According to the latest reports they
have Ieconsidered and will make it a
concrete highway. The fact that 4
contract is to he let today for l.6S
miles concrete road from the east line
Of Lawrence county south through
Mckinley, which is a part Of the high
way through Monett, strengthens the
belief that the highway through here
will all be concrete.
The strong argument put forth by
the Commercial clubs of this district,
headed by the Monett organization,
had much bearing on the change of
plans Of the state commission,
