Sharon, Aug. sharon citizens
living along the main highway between
Wooldawn Presbyterian church and
Sharon A r. P. church are quite
bit skeptical now about the Broad
River township road commission build
ing them a sand-clay, topsoil road
such as the citizens understood thy
would get when they signed rights Of
way to property needed to widen the
road in this particular section. 1t was
expected that the road would have
been completed through this particular
section of the township long before
this time. But after the necessary
amount of grading end widening was
done, the commission left unfinished
the road inside Of town and 1t remains
that way now. Report around town
has it that the commissioners have
done all that they propose to do so
far as the road inside the incorporate
limits is concerned and that if the
road is to be topsoiled it must be done
by the authorities of the town OF Sha-
ron or else the citizens themselves
delve deep into their pockets for the
necessary wherewithall. Sharon people
claim that there is no doubt of the
fact that the commission let it be
known that they would build them a
complete sand-clay road when they
gave the necessary rights Of way. 1t
is reported, however that such pres
sure has been brought to bear on the
commission by other sections Of Broad
River township in opposition to the
work in Sharon, that the commission
is inclined to let Sharon folks do their
own topsoiling.
