On Friday the members of the >ioard will go to Griffin, where they will hear several petitions. One of these requests that the road from Franklin to Hogansville be taken into the state system and another urges the inclusion of the road from Griffin to Columbus. Thursday the board heard a num ber of petitions in its rooms atvthe state capitol. One asked the relo cation of the road from- Hinton to Talking Rock so that it would run from Hinton to Jasper. Another urged that the road from Homer to Maysville be given state mainte nance on January 1, 1927, instead of on September 10, 1927 as heretofore agreed. Still another seeks to have the road from Maysville to the Hall county line taken over for mainte nance by the state highway depart ment. Several months ago the board mapped. out a program for the mile age hearings. It was desired that every group of citizens who wished to be heard before allotments ars made should have an opportunity to present their claims.
