Wililamston was making with the '
new road work in that township.
The party loft Washington shortly i

The trip to Wllliamston too* about
two hours, the auto lets stopping at
almoet orery house So tell the "good I
road"-proposition.to the farmers and
Inciting them to join in the ride to
Wllliamston. A number did so.
JWhtn Wtillamston was reached.
Mayor Godwin was sought out and
piled with questions regarding the
road building In WiDiamston.
He stated that Wllliamston had
voted for a $40,000 bond'lfsue some ,
tin* *so. Tb*r? ???? ?f
r: ^ . roads In ?ho township to be fixed up
and he,thought that this could be
done at the coat of about eight or
nine hundred dollars per mile.
Tbie Information startled the '
Washingtonlans so mow hat. It was
found, however, that Williamston
had had to do considerable grading,
dlggirrg, cutting down of trees, draining
and carting clay and sand. *fhe
majority of these difficulties will not <
hate to be cop tended with in Washington.
1
Mayor Godwin also went on to tell
^that his Jpwp bad spent some $4.- }
000 in equipment. This included
even teams, carts, road scrapers and I
Y~ ihwrrmsdilusn luwrssni r-for-ftp: :
doing of the work. He added that
his men completed about fifty yards
of roadway every day.
The party, upon Mayor Godwin's (
invitation, motored about four. Bjlea (
- o^.uf tQAVC.lQ_6CR the men at work
on the new road. They examined the
equipment that is being used and
asked numerornt questions regarding
tke cost and necessity of the different
material*. __
Upon their return^CsTtown; v the
Washington men spent a few minif.?
''it ft? i with virions frlmrta anil y-l
dnaintances in the city and then returned
home.
The trip was a most Instructive
1 one. There is no?donbt hof what Washington
can build her roads far
cheaper than Williamston is doing.
.' We have the sand right in the toads
and all that is nscesaary is to round
the roadways off and put down tho
clay. Messrs. Ellison. Rollins and
others, who talked with the farmers
along the wdy. stated that they had
met'no Opposition of any kind and
that all were willing to donate some
