Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 June 1905 — THE STONE ROAD SYSTEM [ARTICLE]

THE STONE ROAD SYSTEM

May by short hauls and easy grades cover nearly thirty miles of permanent road bed. It maj not reach your home or property, but it is your system of roads all the same. You should help the committee to select connected streets and roads that will help the present and future of the city and township to convenient access to markets, churches and schools and make our city attractive to residents and visitors. If you live, or your land is, on the new system, work for its success for selfish reasons. If the roads built by the former trustees conferred a favor on you support this system out of gratitude. Help to secure the best possible selection, and work for the one selected. The committee will hear your suggestions if made before the full system is adopted. Talk with the members individually, and meet with them when they deliberate on the ways to be incorporated in ballot. **
