Petition filed in Pulaski County asks the county commissioners to improve a one mile public highway in Salem Township by grading, graveling, and draining. The request cites a 1905 act and lists numerous signers led by Joseph Fox and others. A hearing is set for July 2, 1912, with notice to interested parties.
In the June term 1912 of the Pulaski County Commissioners Court a petition signed by at least fifty freeholders and voters of Salem township requests the creation of a public gravel road not more than three miles long. It describes a route beginning near the section line between sections 7 18 19 and 8 17 20 to section 20, township 29 N range 4 W, with grading drainage and gravel laid to 24 feet width. The plan includes 6 11 100 cubic yards of gravel per rod, standard board fencing, durable edge depths, and proper bridges culverts and sewer tile to ensure drainage. The road would connect with existing gravel roads at both ends and would not pass through any incorporated town, including Francesville. The project is to be undertaken under Indiana law sections 62 through 83 and was approved by the Pulaski County Board of Commissioners on July 2, 1912 with John C Ren Commissioner, Jacob W Nice van, J H Taylor, and attested by Auditor Wm E MUNCHENBURG. The notice ends with an advertisement for Holub’s Clothing Store.
