Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Evening World, October 3, 1916, p. 1. WANT WORK ON PIKE RUSHED Farmers living at the east end of the pike being construction on each Third street filed a petition with the County Commissioners today containing sixty-four names asking that Contractor Felix Dunn be required to put on a force of men large enough to complete the job at the specified time, January 1st, or finish the half mile stretch at the extreme east end so that the farmers in that section may have a road that will get them to the Harvey Smith road to detour to Bloomington over the Phillips school house pike. The contractor was stopped from proceeding with the work because it was alleged the stone being used was not the right size or quality specified by the engineer. The inspector first stopped the work, the county engineer concurred, and then the government engineer gave his approval. Those living a considerable distance east, say they will have no road to town unless the one half mile stretch is finished before bad weather sets in.
