PERHAPS JUST AS WELL WE DIDN’T GET THEM

Remington Press. We made a (trip to Lafayette Monday over the Montmorenci road, and we are free to confess that we never drove over a worse piece of road than that between here and Lafayette. It is all due to the many Army trucks which are continually passing over this route. They have practically ruined these roads as they probably have all the pest of the way, but on this particlar stretch of road there were some soft places and these trucks have gouged them out until there’s no chance of making any time along the route. If the government is going to ruin our roads it would be only fair that they make an appropriation to fix them up. z ,
