NEW AUTO ROAI) IN COUNTY A move, is on foot to mark out a new auto highway through the county. It is to begin at the state line and follow the Panhandle through Kentland, Goodland, Monticello, Logansport to Fort Wayne and Toledo. It connects in Illinois with the Corn Belt route, which is already marked out. This line is to be appropriately marked, and especial attention is to be paid to the marking of poles on the turns. Beginning three poles from the corner the automobile driver will be warned of the turn and the letters “R” and “L” will notify him to be ready for a right or left turn. The State Automobile association states that this will force the building of better roads, and we agree with them that it will force the building of new ones and they will have to he better to stand the traffic. —Brook Reporter.
