Mifflin County Must Pay
Half in Rebuilding Road
Lewistown, Pa., March 7.—When
the delegation of the Lewistown
Chamber of Commerce met Highway
Commissioner Lewis Sadler, at Har
risbuig, on Wednesday and talked ■
of the building of a road from
Lewistown to McVeytown, a distance
of twelve miles, in Mifflin county,
"fifty-fifty" was • the ultimatum
handed to tliem. The two strong
points of the committee was that
the road is on the original William
Penn highway and has been marked
for more than a year as in a con
dition almost unfit for travel and the
state was urged to build a road at
its own expense.
The Highway Commissioner point
ed out that there is a road in MifUnl
county running from Reedsville by
the way of Belleville on to Hunting
don and that it would not be good
policy for the department to con
st.'luct a permanent road over this
route when other communities with
footer roads than Mifflin county are
asking for roads.
The Commissioner said that Mifflin
county has been better treated in
the matter of good roads than any
other county in the state.
