JACKSON HIGHWAY ROUTED THROUGH HERE

Motor Age Tells of Road Scheme That Will Follow Air Line Route From Chicago South. The Motor Age, a leading motor publication, tells of a! well developed plan to establish the Jackson highway between Buffalo and Chicago and Chicago and New Orleans, La. At a meeting held at Nashville, Tenn., the air line route from Chicago to Indianapolis was definitely selected. This ‘’is the route through this city and Lafayette. The scheme is an extensive one and plans a gteat highway to San Diego, Cal. While much of the present route scheming may be of the air castle variety there is every reason to expect that great improvement to the roads will result and that Rensselaer will be on the main line between Chicago and Indianapolis. However, to assurl this the road througn this county must keep up its repairs and something should be done without delay with the bad strip of road north of Virgie, while the road at Burk’s river crossing needs some repairs very badly.
