A very large delegation composed
of citizens of Glendale and Milton
were in Dover Wednesday of last
week and had a hearing before the
State Highway Commission. The
building of a stone ROAD to connect
the two towns above mentioned was
advocated. The delegation received
very courteous treatment. and was
informed by the spokesman Tor the
commission, Lieut.. Gov. Anderson,
that owing to the shOrtness Of funos
the state would not be able to build
all the roads asked for, but would
construct as many as possible ana
at points where most needed. we
think all who are familiar with the
conditions existing and know the I'M
portance of having the two towns
connected by a stone highway Will
agree that the proposed route shoulu
receive favorable consideration from
the State Highway Department at an
early date.
