work is planned by the court on this
road as soon as the weather permits
Mr. Proctor said that the road from
the bridge to the junction o f the
Elwood-Dodge road was in the pro
gram this year, which would give
the Elwod people a way to get out
and in.
Mr. Proctor said he believed this
to be the most needed road work in
the county at the present time, and
that the major part o f the construc
tion of the entire road was to be
finished as soon as the weather per

O f equal interest to the people
in this vicinity is the improvement
o f the road between Eagle Creek and
Sandy, which matter was also dis
cussed with Commissioner Proctor.
It was planned to hold a meeting

man has set the date o f the next

one o f the most important features
