Will Pave Road From Thor to No 10 This Year
Irving H. Knudson of Jewell, a state highway commission member, says highway 302 will be paved this year from its junction with highway 10 to Thor in a three mile stretch. State funds now cover the project after bond money ran out earlier. The note adds hope to pave highway 60 when funds permit, as current traffic is heavy and the surface is poor and restricted to loads under four tons.
