Hereupon Mr.. A. NJ. Jacob submitted
the following resolution:
Resolred, That on the petition of Mat
thew Greenlee and others for aid in re-
pairing that portion of the wheeling
and Fairmont turnpike road lying IN
the county of Ohie-the Board OF Su-
pervisors of said county will appropri-
ate out of any money unappropriated in
the County Treasury, by order, an
amount of money equal to any similar
amount which may have been actually,
and in good faith expended in the con-
structiOn and repair of said road by the
parties who have subscribed to said road
the amount opposite their names on
said petition, and further show by
vouchers, properly attested that the
said money has been expended, and
laid out on said read-aHd that all
other public roads of the county which
will comply with these conditions, Will
be entitled to the benefits of this reso-
luton.
In support of this resolution, Mr.. ia
cob said he was in favor of having
good roads, but as there already had
been expended on said road, within the
last two years, some $4,000, and as $1,000
per mile was high figure for grading
and Matchmaking a road, he thought
this road had been pretty we'll cared
for. And yet some $500 or $4,000 more
was asked for on this road. There were
other roads that needed repairs as much
as this, and he was for using all portions
of the country alike. There were
twenty roads in the county in which
the city has as much interest as in this
one, and which were equally entitled to
aid. He would put all roads on the
same footing. Do this and he was sat
isfied. He was certainly in favor of
good roads.
