THE CHESTERHIIL STREET
PROJECT is APPROVED

In communication here Con-
gressman Robert T. Secrest stated
that the Chesterhill street project
had been approved, which was
most welcome news to the people
of that village Several weeks ago
the local state highway department
had received word from Washing
ton that the project as asked for
had been turned down. About two
weeks ago it was taken up Sec
Ond time, and like answer receiv-
ed, in which it was stated the ac-
ton was final But local officials
did not let it drop at that. BY tele-
phone they got in communication
with u. S. Senator Robert Bulkley,
and Congressman Robert Secrest,
two of about as busy men as are to
be found anywhere. However there
was no pigeon holing the matter,
or excuse for being too busy to look
after it, as is so often done, but
both officials agreed to take it up
with Washington at once. and they
made good their word; which had a
telling effect and produced the de-
sired results. All of this goes to
show the influential standing OF
Bulkley and Secrest with Washing
ton; also the interest they have
with tie people down here in little
cid Morgan county, which in the
past, it would appear, has been well
nigh forgotten.
The Chesterhill street project is
what might be termed gift from
the government The money for
the project, which is the concreting
Of the main street through Ches-
terhill, is part of the SIS 100000
allocated for similar projects by
the government, for use in various
parts of the country, and this very
much needed Improvement at Ches-
terhill will be given without any
expense whatever to Chesterhill, or
to Morgan county, and might be
termed real Christmas gift from
Uncle Sam. The work will be done
under the supervision OF the state
highway department.

proval, and would likely be ap-
proved soon.
