$3,500 for Good Roads for Caddo
The finance committee of the Caddo Good Roads Club got busy last Saturday and in a little while secured pledges for nearly $,4000 for building roads extending out of Caddo. Besides these pledges in money there are a number of farmers who will give work of teams and tools for several days each.
Work on the roads began Thursday morning. Those roads that were in the worst condition being worked first.
It is planned to put every road leading to Caddo in good shape. A grader and plows pulled by a traction engine will be used where necessary, so that the roads my shed water, then it is planned to drag each road with a split-log drag after each rain, so that the roads will remain smooth, and will shed water, and will not become impassable bog holes.
In order that he people may know just who it is that is putting up for the road building we publish a list of the names and the amounts. Others will contribute no doubt, and their names will be added form week to week as the contributions are made.
