A Joint demand on the county commissioners for the construction of an Improved road from Yellow House, through Stonersville to St. iawrence, wm oe made bv the Greater Boyertown Association and the Boyertown Good Roads Association, according to action taken at the meeting held here by both bodies.

"Boyertown folk want to shop in Reading, occasionally, but the good roads hereabouts all run to Pottstown. I think it will be a move for the benefit of the county generally if the present concrete road from Boyertown to Yellow House is Avtei.ar1 trt St that th Boyertown folk have Interviewed the county commissioners in relaiton to the good roads project. Last spiring, prior to the election, over 100 residents of Boyertown, Bechtelsville and Bally journeyed to the court house to ask that the pers ent concrete road be continued to St Lawrence, where it' will join the present Philadelphia pike. At this time the commissioners announced that they were without but that they would be glad to consider Boyertowns plea if the puwto approved, the then pending road loan for $3,000,009. It is because of the successful passage of this project that the associations have decided to make their present drive.

E. state engineer, as the state, will build the roads selected. and pay part of the cost. If the. road to St.

Lawrence is built, It will be about nine miles In length, and the motorists of southeastern Berks would then have an unbroken stretch of about fifteen miles of con crete road from St. Lawrence to Boyertown, while there would be im proved roads radiating in every di rection from this borough.
