Plan to Improve Muddy Road Fails Last Fall
Plans for road improvement north of the city near the river will be discussed at today's meeting between Richardson Lubricating representatives and highway officials. The oil firm offered to pay half the cost last fall, with Riverside township to cover the rest, but no agreement was reached. An oil company truck remains stuck hub deep in frozen mud, hindering efforts to move it. The 10 o'clock meeting will be in County Highway Superintendent L. L. Boyer’s office at the courthouse.
