"Chuck" Millar, our new* road commissioner, for his quick actiorl in filling the many holes, which made driving after' dark on this thoroughfare hazardous. Scarcely had the ballots been counted after last week's election when our new commissioner had his crews out installing warning signs and flares at night at the bad spots to insure safety for the driving public until temporary repairs could be made. With a man like Chuck Miller at the helm we have every reason to hope that this heavily travelled artery will be kept in top-notch con- " ion at all times.
