“Highway 97 is closer than
ever,” stated Sen. Les Bronson at
the Chamber of Commerce meet
ing Monday. He reported that an
other aerial survey for over 100
miles of the route will be made
this summer with the possibility
that construction work will be
performed the following year.
Lloyd Sundstrom reported that
progress on letting bids on the
Penny River road is temporarily
delayed due to the legality of a
right-of-way across some private
property.
The annual drive for new mem
bers for the chamber, which has
been under way, was reported
continuing satisfactorily by chair
man Dusty Rhode. He urged all
persons with cards out to get
