When plans were made in 1917 for the Wild Horse paving. 16 feet was the
width decided upon. Upon investigation it was found this would require
widening of the old road bed from one foot to five feet, re-ditching for
a large part of the 10 miles and the replacing of several culverts.
This work was done under the direction of the State Highway Department
and the entire cost was defrayed from County funds. The total cost to
the County was $9,975.00. Oscar Cutler of the State Highway Department
was resident engineer in charge.
