Gillam Gravel Roads Let.

Monday noon wbs the hour set for opening the bids for a system of gravel roads in Gillam township. The proposed system is 13J miles long and oonsists of one main north and south road and two considerable brandies, and all of whioh especially in connection with the gravel road already built, will give all parts of the township good gravel roads into Medaryville and Francesville, and to Rensselaer also, for that matter. The estimated oost of toe roads was $20,242 but that was a little more than the legal limit for whioh I the township 'could be bonded. There was only one bid submitted, and that was by Glidewell& Son, of Greencastle and was for [sl9 170 which is right about what the township can be bonded for. Their bid was accepted and work is to be|begun within 30 days after the bonds are folds. Tne gravel to be used must be as good asintte Dunn or Burgett pits, The pike is to-be 9 feet wide and one foot deep. There is also to be a dirt read alongside the gravel, The roads will not need much grading to put them iu shape for the gravel.
