Road Fight Again The old fight for the improve ment of the boundary road be tween Coe and Canoe Creek town ships broke out anew near the close of the meeting yesterday. For the last five years the jnat ter has been in the courts in addi tion to being brought up at near ly every meeting of the board. Yesterday Charles Haak, who lives in the vicinity of the Toad, asked that the board give consideration to the road.

After his plea, the board called upon State's Attorney Ben Bell to outline the history of negotiations since 1925 when agitation was first started. The case began when road com missioners of the two townships filed a petition for opening of the road and taxes were levied in the amount of $1,800 in one year. In later year3 the tax was allowed to lapse. In 1927 a petition was adopted to abandon the road. Man damus proceedings followed in circuit court but were dropped and tne abandonment petition was held legal.

As Mr Bell was leaving the board room after explaining the situation, Fred Parker, one of the chief backers of the road opening, said the attorney had helped the opposition. Sharp rap or the chairman's gavel ended the heated ar gument that followed. E. Strate Named Drill Corps Head Edward L.
