Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, October 6, 1925, p. 1 IMPORTANT TO BLOOMINGTON A New Pike Road in Salt Creek Township, Connecting Bloomington and Brownstown to Cost $45,000. Connecting Bloomington to Brownstown in almost a direct route, the commissioner today ordered one of the most important pikes in the history of the county-the McClary road in Salt Creek township, to cost $45,000. The improvement joins what is known as the Knight road, and runs east or southeast through Salt Creek township, and community on a Jackson county road, directly into Brownstown. Not only does it connect part of Brown county, but also it opens a large section of country in Salt Creek township and will bring to Bloomington hundreds of people who would rather trade here than in Jackson county. It is known as the Hensley road. Also the commissioners have ordered what is known as the McClary road in Marion township to be improved, to cost $31,543 and 3 miles is to be piked. Both these roads are built on the county unit plan, which means that the entire county pays the bill. The Harley Marshall pike proposed in Richland township to cost $21,431, has been continued until the next meeting of the commissioners. Constance T.
