WHEATFIELD VOTES FOR STONE ROAD

Election Last Saturday Was Almost Unanimous In Favor of the Road. The A. S. Barlow stone road election in Wheatfield township, was held last Saturday. Only a light vote was polled but the project carried by a handsome majority, the vote being 117 for and 17 against. The length of the new road will be two and a half miles and is estimated to cost $9,409.70. It connects with improved roads already constructed. The road was badly needed, as there is considerable hauling, much of the heavy loads consisting of baled hay, which had cut the present road up pretty badly and hade hauling difficult.
