promptly" before too many people
become accustomed to going else
where to do their trading.
The Ignite Trail or State Highway
No. 36, while not yet improved as a
federal aid road, nevertheless is n
fine gravelcd county highway and
as it is Intercepted on the north and
south by State Highway No. IA, the
latter road when improved will do
much to give Burleigh county near
iy complete state highway system,
bringing to this city the people from
large and prosperous territory.
Market Roads in Good Shape
Turning to the county roads, it is
found that over 100 miles have been
improved of which 20 miles have
been gravel surfaced and the re-
mainder earth graded with drainage
structures installed. A number of
fine small bridges have also been
built by the county. These county
highways serve in large degree as
market roads which enable the farmer
to bring his produce and his wheat
readily to his trading center. Thus,
taken all in all. the county has a
commendahlc network Of roads,
state. county and township. of over
200 miles, the most Of which will give
efficient use all the year except in
the very heaviest of wet seasons.
TO date the board of county COM
missioners has not only made very
GOOD start but considerable real
progress towards making Burleigh
county one of the banner counties
in the state in the movement for
better market and arterial highways,
No doubt the near future will pro-
duce a considerable enlargement OF
the road construction program for the
county will then be in u much better
position to carry out such a pro-
gram. Those who are best acquaint-
cd with the progress already made
and the plans for the future have
every confidence that Burlcigh county
will soon realize its ideal in being the
trade center, with Bismarck the hub,
Of Il no inconsiderablc trade territory,
both wholesale and retail, and that
the county board will do more than
its share to bring matters to a sue
cessful fruition.
