bwn county have for the past two
months and more been convinced by
actual demonstration Of the tremen-
dous transportation advantages and
the real Joy of riding over first class
sand-clay highway. The highway from
Georgetown to Andrews was complet-
ed, concrete bridges and all, about
the first of January, distance of 1S
miles. It was built with federal aid
under supervision Of the state high
way commission, and the maintenance
work is being looked after by the
county authorities. The total cost ran
up to nearly 100000, making the cost
to the county approximately 100000,
perhaps a little less than that. But
the outlay seems justified in the good
that will accrue The road is a per
feet thoroughfare for travel, and the
intercourse between Georgetown and
Andrews has been greatly increased.
