THE RESURFACING OF TWIN
CITIES STREETS LIKELY

For some time efforts have been
made to resurface the Main street
of McConnelsville and the Main
street Of Malta, but naturally the
stumbling block was how to finance
it, Tuesday a delegation of the two
towns, composed of DR.. Humphrey,
Mayor Ezra Mcdaniel, Councilmen
j. f. Niceswanger and George Dav-
is, and Frank Coulson of Malta, and
Mayor Mercer, Councilman A. R.
Adrean, Postmaster H. w. Gordon,
Ralph Baker, r. K. Brown and F.
w. Cochran of this place, and Con-
gressman Robert T. Secrest of Cald-
well, went to Columbus to lay the
matter before Governor George
White and Highway Director o. w.
Merrell. The governor and highway
director approved the suggested
improvement, and to submit the
plan to the federal government for
approval. The plan calls for two
coats of black top, of about two and
a half inches in thickness. The
project would cost approximately
$4,000. The only stumbling block
that might arise with the govern
ment is that the federal government
might not approve the spending Of
that much money in surfacing brick
streets, with the present sort of
base that is under our brick streets.
However, it is pointed out that the
base under bricks in the two towns
is just as good as in many other
cities where the streets have been
resurfaced, and it is believed the
government will waive that objec-
,tion.
