A long discussed question of wheth-
er the Allen-Putnam county line road
should be made an arterial highway
with traffic on all bisecting roads
coming to halt before crossing, or
whether some of the bisecting roads
should be given the right-of-way was
settled Thursday evening Of last
week in a joint meeting of Richland
and Riley township officials.
The decision was in favor of giving
some of the north-south roads the
right-of-way, and stopping traffic On
the county line at these intersections
AS a result the Bentley road, the
Pandora road and the Phillips road
were declared arterial highways and
stop signs were ordered placed on
the Allen-Putnam county line road at
these three intersection. Because
traffic on the Fett road is not as
heavy stop signs will halt traffic
here to give the countyline traveller
the right-of-way.
Richland township trustees Rob-
ert Neiswander, Kent Amstutz and
Jesse Yoakam met with Riley
township trustees George Schoe-
maker, Lee Welty and Raymond
Bucher. The Richland group point
ed out that the Phillips road is con-
sidered as the townships principal
north-south route. 1t is the only road,
they said, which is never flooded out
under any circumstances.
Motorists travelling north from
Bluffton should be encouraged to use
the Grove road, to the Phillips road
and thence north on the latter, the
