UNDER THE COUNTY UNIT LAW

(Continued from Page One)

and others who travel extensively over the county are enthusiastic about this particular road. When completed It will be 18 feet wide and 32 mllee In length. Persons interested in Its construction recently interviewed the state highway commission and that body approved the plan to build this road because of the great number of people It will benefit. The director of the state highway commission spoke of the east and weet road through this county and said that White county people should take no steps toward its improvement because within the next two or three years it would be built as a state road. With the north and south road, such as the one proposed tn this petition, and an east and weet road across the county built by the state highway commission, White county will have the foundation for a real system of roads as Intended by the framers of the new road law.— Monticello Herald.
