To the Kill tors:
Home oiU' recently suggested that
the pike road leading south should
be extended to I'lano, I hen to tins
line between Collin and Dallas. Ah
i tie IiiIr-ru;-bati line runs along this
I-ute, it is equally, or more import-
ant, to extend east and west. In
fad, Hie main roads of the county
' iiould lie extended to the county
line. To do this will require money.
To obtain this money, I suggest iih
