Matt Metcalf of Glen Haven is the
champion good roads booster of Grant

put into hard surface roads is an in

more he can prove it to you. He
shows how the village of Bloomington
put $4,000 into a road leading to
Glen Haven, and thereby reduced the
price Of trucking their freight from
thirty cents hundred to seventeen
cents, and on a large contract to four
teen cents This saving on hauling
the material for their new school
house alone more than pays for the
road. Mr. Metcalf unlike many good
roads enthusiasts not only talks good
roads but raises the money and goes
out and builds them. His efforts will
remain as a monument to his memory
throughout west Grant county long
after he has left this earth.-News.
