Earlville May Settle Primary Road Controversy With State
Earlville officials indicate a compromise with the State Highway Commission on the Fellville vicinity primary route is likely. The city council’s opposition to the commission’s plan may be withdrawn if public sentiment favors routing the road north of town. Grading along the proposed line is nearly complete with paving to follow, while injunctions delay final completion and the four corners removal to reduce traffic hazards.
