LOOKS "LIKE ROADS
Project On Foot To Secure - Improvement of Three Highways |
Good {oad enthusiasts met at city hall Tuesday night and took action which will probably result in the improvement of the three main highways out of Ligonier. Among the more enthusiastic boosters for the highways is Henry Hire. Mr. Hire has been for every project advanced which would benefit Perry township. . The three roads. to be improved are the Lincoln Highway : both west and south and the Blazed trail east.
~ Nor is the north road to be neglected, It istobe made a free gravel road and improved- along with the yesb 0 o . :
When it was learned that the people of Wolcottville and residents along the county line had-a petition out to extend: the Lincoln highway improvement from Millersburg to Wolcottville, thence to Kendallville and Fort Wayne, leaving Ligonier ‘off the map’’ some of the more enterprising farmers and business men got busy and as a result petitions are out for the improvement of the three highways under the three mile road law. The Perry township road fund is sufficient without exceeding the limit to build the three roads.
*The 'trouble is,”” said one farmer in discussing the projects, ‘‘these Wolcottville and LaGrange county petitioners, under the law have an advantage. No remonstrance will stick under a township or county line petition an& if they succeed Perry township and Ligonier will have to pay for the highway and get few benefits -7
Mayor Schutt presided at the meeting at the city hall and interest in the three projects- is lceen among business men. o
Of course there will be opponents. ° The rival brick and cement representatives will fight each other as they have in the past, but if Ligonier is sensible to her best interests she will secure some improved roads.

' ; Mr. Zigler and family live at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and were spenging some time at Wawasee. It seems that he saw thé train backing but thought he could cross the tracks in safety.
