Extend Concrete Road to Milton

RumOr has it that the proposed
concrete road to connect up with the
concrete road to Milton, is to bC
built this coming season. Well that's
almost too good to be true; but
there is not reason why it should
not be done this summer at the lat
est; but it will require something
more than just talking about at the
corner or store to get it underway
Just bit of organization by the
people and application and urging
the State Highway Commission to dc
the work, will finally bring it to ac-
complishment.
