Cornel Drug Stoi
was decided to hold a bond election
soon for the purpose of completing
the road east of town which ia now
being graveled. A number of inter-
ested citisens and business men were
present and several plans were dis-
cussed, one of which is to raise mon-
ey by public subscription and the
other by bonds. The latter was found
to be most practical at this time.
All available money which was
being used in the construction of this
road has been exhausted with only
about a mile and a half covered.
Work ceased Tuesday at noon, stated
Commissioner Moore.
People who are interested in this
project, and that means all of the
business people of Granger and peo-
ple living east of town, are anxious to
see this road completed as it will be
the means of sure transportation to
town when the winter rains set in.
It i sone of our most important roads
and some way should be provided to
continue the good work. We have
been informed that work is to contin-
ue pending the out outcome of the
election. ">
A committee was named to map
out the territory and determine as far
as possible how muCh bond money will
be required to complete the road, also
to prepare a petition to be presented
to the Commissioner's Court at the
earliest possible moment. Senator
A. E. Wood is chairman of this com-
mittee.
As understod, this bond issue will
only effect a small territory lying
cast of Granger, the extent of which
has not been determined. ,
