John Whitney's at the foot of Bristol
hill. Federal aid of $11, 900 had
previously been allowed to complete
this stretch, which includes bridge,
but the original survey called for a
grade greater than 10. and estimate
was made accordingly, but since fed
eral aid is not granted on roads with
grades greater than 10, the $500
was allowed to take care of the extra
cost of cutting down a certain grade
to the 71o figure.
$32,500 is the amount for No. 1872

this road was sold last week to Fey

states share, will build this road on
to the Perley Best residence near the
Brick school house.

STR. LIBERTY WITHDRAWN
FROM MUSKINGUM TRADE

The steamer Liberty has been
withdrawn from the GAINESVILLE
Pittsburgh trade. Arrangements may
be made later to have her re-enter
the trade but there is nothing GER
tain about it. The Liberty is owned
by stock company and certain
stockholders living in Wheeling and
who own majority of the stock in
sisted that the boat be withdrawn
from the GAINESVILLE trade and be
Iplaced in the Wheeling Pittsburgh
trade and this was done. The boat
has been making good in the local
trade and it is rumored that local
parties may attempt to acquire the
stock of the Wheeling men, or a
portion of it, and if that is done the
boat will in all probability be re-
placed in the local trade again.

Children's Home Farm Not Sold

AT the public sale last Saturday,
the children's home farm was bid in
by the county at $500. The best
offer received for the property was
$6, 900, and the commissioners feel
that they can get better price. Just
what the next step will be in the
matter is not exactly known, but it
will probably be to advertise for
sealed bids. The personal property
for the most part sold very low, and
quite a bit was bid in for use at the
county home. A very large crowd
was present at the sale, but things
in general did not sell so well as at
most public sales.
