Public Road Petition Leads Lincoln County Board Action
The Lincoln County Board of Supervisors met July 2 to consider the petition of Geo and Shethers freeholders for a new public road between Brookhaven and Hill near Ivy’s residence. The board awarded the road to fund open work, with conditions waiving expenses for bridges, and elected a road commissioner at 75 dollars monthly. Bids for road work east of the Illinois Central Railroad were opened and awarded to P. B. Smith as the lowest bidder.
