SEEK EXTENSION OF ROAD PAVING Berne, Sept. 18—(Special)—A petition signed by seventeen officials ami the ten property owners along Federal Road 27, from Main to High street was sent to the state highway commission Saturday, asking that the pavement be extended to the Mennonite church. The work of paving was stopped at a point a hundred feet north of High Street leaving three blocks unimproved. At this point the commission planned to start a long curve elminating the square turn at the church and meeting the south road a block west. When property owners objected to an unnecessarily long curve route through their properties the highway commission agreed to send a representative to discuss the matter. He has not appeared, although several weeks have passed and the Monroe-Bern» pavement is nearly finished. The asphalt is poured and a final layer of crushed Kentucky limestone is being applied. With no assurance as to then the connecting curve will be paved, the petitioners felt that the short space , between High and Main streets should be taken care of while the contractor is on the job with his equipment and materials. ¥ ¥5 ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ *¥• ¥¥¥¥¥¥* * THE * * CAMPAIGN * * LOG * ¥*¥¥¥¥W ¥ » » * ¥ ¥ - (U.R)— Herbert Hoover received plaudits of 10,000 for his speech at Newark, N.
