LOCAL ITEMS

Chas. Roesch veteran road patrol
man on S. T. L. 81 between Lancas-
tor and the east side of Ellenboro
hill, has kept careful record of the
niles of travel he has made each
Year while at his daily round of duty.
THE astounding total in six years is
1853 miles, as follows: 1919, 3,118
miles; 1920, 1926 miles; 1921, 1886
miles; 1922, 3,101 miles; 1928, 1926
miles; 1924, 1888 miles. Charlie was
unable to keep a record in 1918 but
fg1Iring the yearly average his total
mileage in seven years would have
been 22.772 miles, which is no doubt
ahout correct. This is nearly the
equivalent to journey around the
Garth but Charlie says he would hate
n trv it with a team and drag. Ev-
orv foot of the mileage represents
constructive work of some sort in i'm
nroving the roads, and that portion of
81 patrolled by Mr.. Roesch is one of
The hest in the county.
