Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1909 — TALK OF MORE IMPROVED ROADS. [ARTICLE]

TALK OF MORE IMPROVED ROADS.

The Democrat is informed that there is some tglk in north Union of trying to have the connecting link between the Otis gravel road in Keener, the Wheatfleld-Kankakee stone road in Wheatfleld and Kankakee tps., and the north Marion gravel road built In. The latter road now runs up to the south side of section 30 in Union, and what is being talked of is extending this straight on north to Kersey, and thence east to Wheatfleld, a distance of about 11 miles in all. This would go % mile west of Kninaan, and we understand that C. T. Otis wants the link built west to connect with the Keener gravel road- The building of these links would connect up all of Jasper county with improved roads, either stone or gravel, and would mean a great deal to that section that is pow without such conveniences. The matter is yet in the embryo stage and it may be some time before enough can be interested in the project to insure the building of the roads.
