sion arc centered on the Yilminirton

almost certain that Union county can
i:et at loa.-t $7,500 from the govern

and by putting up an eqiul ai iount
to be spent on the hichv.-r.y.

Mulli.'. pt.ited. an excellent road
could Le hulit from the Mur'::iv!!!o

ship i.t an expenditure of omy a lew
hundred dollars a mile. He .-.poke
la high terms of the stretch of
cravel road running from Mr. Archy
MeClariy's to a distance of aboat a
mile on the Wlngato road, lie recom
mended, if I'nion county saw fit to
build its share of the highway, that
gravel top-eoil be spread over the
red clay roads, which would make an
ideal roadway. Mr. Mullis would al
so Inaugurate a better system of
road grading.
The plan was thoroughly eicplaln
ed to, Mr. F. G. Henderson, who is
one of the hlphway trustees, by Mr,
Mullis. He also found time to talk
it over with one or two of the Mon
roe township road commissioners. He
is very eager fur t'nion county to
seize this opportunity to improve her
roads, as he has high regard for his
native county.
To secure aid from the govern
ment, as has already been pointed
out, the commissioners of Monroe
and Vance townships must appropri
ate at least $2,500 from from their
own funds. It would not do any
harm, Mr. Mullis stated, for each
township to raise $5,000, as the mor
attractive, were tho Inducements of

would be cf receiving governmental
