Curtis Hancock, chairman of the
State Highway Department. will la-
in Sherman next Friday afternoon to
discuss with Grayson county people
better roads for this county, It was
announced this morning. The Clmra-
ber ef Commerce Is nmking arrange-
ments for a, county meeting to Iu* held
at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon. Invita-
tions are being sent out by the Cham-
ber to every town aud community in
the county, inviting business men.
farmers and all Interested in good
road matters in Grayson county to la*
present. There will lie other speakers
besides Mr. Hancock.
While Mr. Hancock comes to Gray-
son county to discuss primarily the
matter of lietterlbg those roads In
Grayson county which six* eligibly for
•State aid. Ills visit will la* of linport-
BBCe and interest to every communi-
ty in the county which is. planning
road building for the rcaso* that
money secured from tiie Htate hy
Grayson county for construction on
any principal road in the county re-
leases just ttiat much county money to
lie expended on other roads. There-
fore every goial roads person In till*
county will have a very great interest
in 'the meeting here Friday.
It is luqted that sentiment will also
lie crystajized at Friday's meeting in
•regard to a county road bond issue ns
against local road districts issues. A
biumber of small districts In Grayson
county are planning road bond issues
in the near future. It lias been sug-
gested hy numerous ja-rsons over the
countv flint, these small issues he fore-
gone in favor of a coiudy issue, which
would take care of the road building
projects in tjie smaller districts of the
conn tv. provide a permanent Upkeep
fund for all of the roads and nrovlde
funds to meet the -Htate and Federal
governments with on tlielr projects
for the roods eligible for aids from
these sources.
Several Reasons to Build.
There are several reasons why
Grayson county should begin at once
her road building projects, it was
printed out this morning. First of
these Is that the Fislcral government
has requested it In order to give em-
ployment to returning soldiers B. W.
Wilson, secretary of the United States
Bureau of Isibor. has written to the
Grayson ('minty War Board asking
what Grayson comity can do In road
building work and , other construc-
tion projects in order to give em-
ployment to former soldiers.
Another reason is that both the
State aiid Federal governments have
.money which will lie expended for
road hull ding imrposes on State and
Federal designated highways in those
counties, however, which meet, dollar
for dollar, their expenditures. It 14
those counties which are up and do-
ing which will receive the benefits of
this mom*!#! In this connection, a*
stated above, any money received
from an outside source for road build-
ing iu Grayson county, releases coun-
ty money for building purposes on the
/highways not designated for State
and Federal nhl.
i.....It is also iMitnted out that rond
-bond Issue* were voted In Collin
county Saturday and that road bond
issues are also under consideration
In several Oklahoma counties just
across the river from Grayson county.
At Is only a question of time, ncording
to the opinions of many In Grayson
county, until both the north-sontb
highway and (lie east-west one also
will be military highways, tiie Feder-
al government assisting In maintain-
ing them, and that the soom>r Gray-
