rather broken~ badly drained and narrow pavement over which all
traffic of U. S. No. i now moves, and this portion of the said
Highway should be improved and widened to its full extent, taking
into consideration the fifty foot right-of-way along which the said
Highway traverses, as there is no alternate Loute for~.dividing the

and storm sewers, using the present fifty foot right-of-way along
which the present U. S. Highway is now laid out and constructed.
