TAX PAYERS STRONG FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT

‘John Pettet and son, Jay, of Walker township were ip Rensselaer Monday. He reports that the recent election on the proposed Dewey Stone road carried almost unanimously. The Wheatfield Review had the following article in reference to the proposed strip of road to be improved. The special election held in Walker township last Saturday, Nov. 27, to decide whether the township wanted a new stone road, resulted in favor of the improvement by a vote of 83 votes for to 3 against. The new road will commence on the township line between Walker and Wheatfield townships at the northwest corner of section 2, thence south one mile, thence west through Zadoc two miles, thence south one mile, connecting with the stone road running west to Kniman and when the connecting link is constructed to the stone road, 1 mile south of Kniman, this route will be the most direct road to the county seat.
