On This Day | Routing the Roads Requires Decision
Author
MinotVoice
This discussion as between one route and the other for that part of the highway has gone on long enough now so that both sides would like Thompson to make up his mind which would be best and say once and for all which it is going to be and then go ahead and make the highway improvement promptly, the Independent is informed by those who attended the road conference, and they expressed themselves to Thompson, and got the impression that he is about to make up his mind and get the route.
