DOING IASI WORK
: ON COONIV ROADS!
- --
I
Under the direction of County
Judge E. L. Smith rapid progress is
being made by the county road crew
in overhauling the earth roads. For
the past three or four weeks, when
ever weather would permit, the crew
has been working on roads in Cadron,
Danley and Benedict townships, west
and south of the railroad, and one
more week will complete the work in
this part of the county, Judge Smith
said today. The roads from Conway
to the Arkansas river are being wink
ed this week and the road from Cad
ron Gap to Gleason will be graded
next, after which the crew will be
moved to Hardin and Mathews town
ships.
Some excellent work has been done
at a remarkably small cost recently,
Judge Smith said. The •oad from
Conway to Rocky Gap and thence to
Mayflower has been put in the best
shape it ever was, and the total cos1*
for grading the entire 2d miles of the
road was only slightly over $700, be
said. Judge Smith says lie finds the
“caterpillar'’ tractor a very efficient
piece of machinery for power, and he
is using it in all work now. The road
gang costs the county $35 a day, the
judge said, exclusive of gasoline and
oil for the machinery, which ci st
about $10 per day.

of the national hoard of the V. W.

vention of that body. Mrs. Frauen
thal is a member of several important
