HOW UNION TOWNSHIP
WORKED ALL ITS READS

The letter below tells how Union
township, in this county, got good
roads. Many other of our townships
could well emulate the example this
letter carries
Dear Mr.. Editor:
III you will give me little space
in your valuable paper, | will give an
account of some of the work done on
the public roads In Union township,
and the manner of doing this work.
Union township received less than
S500OO for road work. and from these
funds for the year 1923, we have been
able to cover practically all the roads
in Union township. This has been
made possible by the loyal road men
Of our township who have helped me
out in this work by donating their time
In working the roads. Practically all
the work has been done in a way that
we will get lasting benefits from it,
and most of the work done will last
for years to come.
81 want to especially thank the good
men in Union township for the labor
donated in working the roads, and also
especially mention the work done
ON the Inman Hill In our township.
We have a piece of road there that
we are all justly proud of, and this
has been made possible by the follow
ing named men who donated labor, as
set out below
Emmett Mahaffey. 3 l-2 days with
stump puller; Rice Baldrldge, days;
Dan Baldridge, ? days; Frank James.
days: Charles Marriott, ) day; James
Marriott, l day. Seaf Rogers, day
NIosie King. 1-2 day; Nose Bellah. ?
days; Elijah Honeycut. 1-2 day: Char
ley Moore, 3 days with team; George
Marriott. 2 days with team; George
Marriott, | day without team.
with the help of these public spirit
ed men. it has been made possible for
me to do work that could not have
been done in any other way with the
small amount of money received for
our township. and we believe that we
have as good roads as any township In
the county. We feel that IL other
overseers would use the strictest econ
omy in handling the road funds and
also had bunch Of loyal public spirit
ed men who would help them ont by
donating labor when they are not en-
ployed at something else, that we
would have better system of roads
over the county.
"Yours for better roads in Randolph
county. John McFann.
Road Commissioner, Union Twp"
