Milford chronicle., 1923-03-30

The Milton Good Roads Association
met on Friday evening in the Fox
Theatre, and heard a report from the
State Road Commission to the effect
that if the right of way for the con-
crete road between Milton and Har-
beson is secured at once, work on the
road would begin about June 1st. A
committee was appointed to secure
the right of way and that committee
will get to work at once. There is no
serious objections raised by the land
owners along the route and no trouble
in securing their consent is anticipat-
ed. The route as laid out by the COM
mission generally follows the old
county road between the two towns,
except that to straighten the line the
proposed road crosses lands owned by
Peter w. Dutton, B. Frank Walls and
the Davis Carey heirs. Mr. Walls is
the heaviest loser of land, the road
running across two lots, taking near
ly four acres and splitting the lots.
In other places land is taken to make
easier turns than the old road al
lowed. These owners are offering no
objections, as they figure the concrete
road will more benefit them than in
jure It is expected, providing no de-
lay is experienced in securing the
right of way, to complete the road by
autumn.
