Will Streets
Be Paved If
Town Incorporates?
One of the questions that a
number of the local residents
have been asking lately is "Will
the streets, that the state had
previously agreed to pave, be
paved if the town becomes in
corporated?"
State Highway Commissioner.
G. E. McNeal of Jonesville said
last week that all the streets will
be paved and whether the town
becomes incorporated or not
will have no bearing on the issue
whatsoever. He further com
mented that the only reason for
not paving the streets that were
agreed on. would be if the
residents on these streets would
not give them the right-of-way.
The state will not buy the
right-of-way from any of the
residents.
