Voters will decide on a 50000 bond issue to build a nine mile macadam road from Whitewright to Ida with state 16666 and federal 20000 support. The plan includes maintenance guarantees and connects Sherman Denison Greenville and Marshall areas, with tax implications and concurrent primary elections Saturday.
The Sun notes that all men turning 21 since June 5 1918 must register. Ben Savage will register them Saturday at the Holcomb building, saving a Denison trip. Sherman exempts must register there, while Fannin county registrants go to Bonham.
