HI'WAY COMMISSION TO COMPLETE VERDA-ALOHA ROAD

The Louisiana Highway Commission at Baton Rouge has set September 13 as the 
date for receiving bids for grading and surfacing four miles of road between 
Aloha and Verda.

Three miles or more of this road has just recently been graded and graveled 
by the Highway commission and the grading and groveling of this additional 
four miles will complete the Aloha-Verda road from its intersection with the 
paved highway 71, near the Natachie Bridge just north of Aloha, to Verda.

Also the highway commission on Wednesday of this week received bids bayou 
Nantachie on highway 71.  The for rebuilding the bridge across low bid was 
furnished by W>R> Aldrich & Co. of Baton Rouge for constructing the bridge 
and approaches for $82,000.00.

The bridge to be replaced was one erected by the parish when the Jefferson 
Highway through the parish was built and when the paved highway was built 
north of Colfax this bridge was left in the highway system and has been a 
menace to traffic evere since on account of its narrowness.
