Encouraging Road News

Postmaster Fred H. Hart and E.
J. Reicker of Beverly were here
Wednesday to meet the commission
ers in an effort to get them to take
the same action as did the Washing
ton county commissioners in refer
ence to the building Of gravel road
up the river. The commissioners
down there together with resident
engineer Geo. (. Carr went before
the state highway department and
showed up the situation, asking that
the state cooperate in helping to-
build gravel road from Lowell to
the Morgan county line. This the
state agreed to, and already the
work has begun, which is in charge
of Engineer Carr, and he is working
in injunction with the county COM
missioners, and the trustees of the
townships through which the road
passes. The state is to pay half and
the roads are graued out to state
highway requirements and with an
improved drainage system. The
surface is 10 be of gravel combi-
nation of the river and bank prod
uct It is to be put on and rolled
in such way that it will be fine
for all year round travel. A fore
man in the state highway depart
ment will be actively on the job
helping direct the work.
Messrs. Hart and Reicker feel
that since Washington county re-
ceived what she has wanted so long,
and with so little effort, with work
already started, Morgan county
should lose no time in taking similar
action to have the road extended to
this place.
We understand that our county
commissioners agree to go with a
delegation at any time a date is
fixed, to meet the state highway de-
partment in an effort to get for Nor
gan county, the same terms for
building gravel roads, as it is
claimed other counties have done,
that of the state assuming the big
end of the cost
