Rishel, of near Tusseyville, who is secretary-treasurer of the Potter township board of road supervisors, in- formed the Reporter last Friday that three sections of permanent road will be built in Potter township this summer, if plans do not miscarry. This, of course, will incurr a heavy expense, but the lasting qualities~of such a road, built under State supervision, will mean less future repair than under the old system. The State aid for this kind of road amounts to 33 1-3 per cent where the cost of building amounts to $4000 a mile, Last Thursday B. F. Langlotz, of Jellefonte, assistant engineer of the State Highway Department, passed up- ou three stretches in Potter township and following their approval at Harris- burg, work will commence soon there- after. The three stretches are : Earlystown road, from Morris Burk- holder's west to Prof. C. R. Neff farm-— one mile, Tusseyville road, off Earlystown road --one mile. Lewistown pike toward Red Mill—one mile, Under the provisions of a new act relating to township roads, State aid, such as has been received in the past, has been entirely withdrawn, Where new road is desired, application must be made to the Highway Department, and aid will be given only when roads are built according to State specifications. ———— AA SAT New Justice of the Peace Merchant E.
