It is understood that a new rOaC
will be laid out west of the town ant
will connect with the roads which
cross the county from east to west
We say, let the good work go on
Frankford should have concrete
road extending in a westerly direc'
ton across the county. A delegation
should appear before the State
Highway Commission and petition
for this road. We can't expect Oul
share of improved roads unless We
go after them. We are also very
much in need of paved road t
Roxana.
