Tompkins County will benefit materially by the Machord highway bill, appropriating $5,000,000 for road constrution and maintenance.  The bill has been passed by the Assembly and the Senate.
The first new contract to be undertaken here on the 1919 road program is Hector street, about one mile.
The second highway to be built is that leading from Miller's Corers in Enfield, west to the Schuyler Country line, a distance of about three miles.  The Dryden village road south toward Harford village, a distance of about four and one-half miles is third on the program.
Another road which is to be built, which is of more than passing interest is the highway leading from Rogue's Harbor to the lake through Myers, north across the ravine and to the top of the hill on the opposite side near the Sperry farm.  It is considered desirable to complete this road to the tope of the hill if possible be possible because of the condition and location of the road.
This highway is traveled considerably by farmers drawing product to Myers for shipment and also by motorists rom Ithaca and Auburn who like to go from one city to the other by the lake road, when it is fit to be traveled, but owing to the location of the road, it usually is muddy and nearly impassable at most seasons of the year.
