Brick Roads at $7,500 Per Mile.

The highway commissioners of Stockland township, Iroquois county, Illinois, have let the contract for seven miles of brick paving to be done on the highways of that township, the lowest bidder being Frank Adams of Danville, who bid $53,000 for the job. Bonds to build the hard roads were voted some time ago, and were sold recently at a premium of one and one-half per cent. —Lafayette Journal.
