ANKW ROAD OPEN
July 6th the Commissioners
opened up for public travel the
section line running north and
south between section 29 and
lots i, 2, 3, and 4. or section 30
Township 5 Range 2H East of the
Cimarron Meridian.
1 have taken a prominent part
in the opening of the road for
the following reasons: First-
jThe law says," All sections lines
in Oklahoma are public high-
ways." Second- The apening up
of the sectio.. line was the only
lawful and convenient road
afforded me to market. Third-
because it give* to local travel a
way free fiom sand and canyons
A road way 25 feet wide is r.ow
being traveled. Line fences will
soon be adjusted which will give
fifty feel for grading. The road
once graded for drainage can be
easily maintained.
