A petition is being circulated by the
residents and property owners along
the right Of way from Harrington to
Hughes Corner via Blades Cross
Roads. According to reports the
right of way can be- secured over the
entire route without cost to the coun-
ty. L is expected that a delegation of

up provisions to carry them over.
