Show GOOD ROAD WORK DONE BY STATE AND COUN- TY IN THE VICINITY OF. MOUNT PLEASANT Work Done Under the Management of S. E. Jensen Invitation Extended to Tax Payers and Citizens to Inspect the Road From Mt. Pleasant to First Lane South of Cedar Creek. The State Road which is being built under the direction of S. E. Jensen of this city is now very nearly completed from the firt lane south of Cedar Creek to three blocks inside the city limits. Had it not been for the recent storm which has delayed the work for the present it would have been completed today, as three men and one team could have finished the remaining portion por-tion in one day. It has cost $1,032.37 for labor and about $100.00 for powder, blacksmithing and other incidentals. This is much below the anticipated cost which was given by the engineer as being from $800 to $1000, for a half mile in the most difficult rock cuts and fills. Hundreds of tons of rock are covered up in these fills. A few will be noticed remaining on either side of the highway. |
