WAGON ROAD LEADING INTO DENISON
Denison, Tex., Sept. 13 - Members of the Grayson county commissioners' court came over to Denison at noon today and spent two or three hours looking over the wagon road leading into the city from the east. Within the last two years over $5000 has been spent in building culverts, erecting a bridge and in cutting down what are known as the Papan hills. The work is in an unfinished condition. A retaining wall of stone will be put up immediately and the county road gang will be put to work in a short time grading down the last hill and raising the last fill. So far two hills have been cut down and four fills made. The dumps are twenty-six feet at their highest point and are from 100 to 300 feet in length.
