Show STATE AND COUNTY AID IN PAVING IS AS YET DOUBTFUL j INABILITY TO GET I CONCERTED ACTION DELAYS FINAL O. K i The subject of paving for Milford was the main item taken up by-the Lions club this week at their luncheon lunch-eon at the Union Pacific dining room. The pavement question was first : broached by County Commissioner Ayer, who was a-guest at the luncheon. lunch-eon. He said he would like to see the Lions club get after that paving. President Jos. R. Murdock then asked George Jefferson what he knew on the subject. In substance Mr. : jenerson saia tnat the county ooara of commissioners had unofficially as-; as-; sured its help, but that the prime i difficulty lay in getting a simultane ! ous agreement from this board and the State Highway Commission. He said that a joint meeting of the board, if same could be arranged, would bring the subject to an absolute head. This meeting however, should be well attended by Milford citizens. The way developments have been shaping up, the difficulty in securing simultaneous simul-taneous action, coupled with delays in the mails, had caused the matter to drag. This, he said, in spite of the fact that the state had made provision in the state budget for 1928, for paving pav-ing in Milford from the railway crossing cross-ing to the top of the hill. If no joint meeting can be arranged, other plans must be tried in attempting to get a few blocks of pavement here. Commissioner Com-missioner Ayer reminded the Lions that a group of state highway men and federal road men were in Beaver Beav-er last week. However, Milford had not been apprized of this, and at the only meeting to which local men were invited, they were notified until only a short time in advance. Leslie Clay, who is a member of the town board here, stated that it had looked discouraging here the past thirty days as far as securing paving was concerned. If there were going to be no paving put in, he would like to know. As a member of the town board, he declared that he would use his influence towards buying buy-ing quite a bit of equipment to keep our streets maintained. This would cost between $1,200 and $1,500. He said that in his opinion, he would hate to use it if there were a chance that it could be used to better avantages in paving.
