Mr. A. C. Hickey addressed the court
on the Importance of devising some means
by which there may be built good roads
throughout the entire county. He
was followed by Justice Burke, who stated
that from information received, good
turnpikes could be built for $1,000 per
mile and what he wanted to know was
whether our bonds would be taken at par.
Maj n. + Cheairs stated that he knew
of responsible persons who would build
the pixies at $1,000 per mile and agree to
take the county bonds at par. Mr.. John
Ballanfant wanted to know that if it
was paying business to make these
pixies why do not men of capital form a
company for that purpose, ard not call
upon the county to issue bonds for that
purpose. Justice Horsley said that as
there was no definite plan before the court
for its consideration, he would make
motion that the court meet on the Monday
the 10th day of April, to devise and adopt
some plan to insure the early Inaugural
ton and completion of thorough system
of turnpikes throughout the county. The
motion was adopted. The Chairman was

bia. next Monday. to consult and agree
upon some plan to submit to the court
which meets the Monday following.
