OFFICE County COMMISSIONERS, !

April lSt, 1913.
In calling your attention to the late order
to repairing the Public Highways, the Bourd is
well aware of the busy season of tho year, and
whilst they would not seek TO interrupt the
farming interest in any way not necessity,
yet on all the roads there is more or less work
needed, and we must insist on the same being
done. The tire has been extended until tho
lst of May, rs TO give each SubCommssioner
ample opportunity to do said repairs at times
not burdensome to any.
All roads will be visited during the month by
some Member of the Board. The Commissions
now held by all parties arc in fun force, unless
the Board has been notified of their desire to
not longer serve in that capacity. The law does
not require that commissions be issued every
year, some seem tn suppose.
Time to work. days during the year.
Ages liable for duty, from Is to 45.
A Mule and Plow furnished on the road ex-
Two Mules and wagon, 8 hands

All able bodied men are liable, though Gus
tom has exempted Ministers of the Gospel
You arc allowed to make use of the most conve-
ncmt timber for the purpos es of repairing or
building causcways, road bridges, excepting
timber of especial value.
We would again urge upon the Sub-Commis
sioncrs that they to it and require n faithful
performance of the time allowed by law to be
road workers themselves who are most interested.
The loss from wear and tear of vehicles and
stock, also of time is their loss and they should
feel most concerned. Therefore, whilst the pub
lie generally look to the Board for good roads,
so the Board must require full duty from all la
bic for highways duty.
The Board would take occasion to state for
the benefit Of all concerned that if the present
levy of . mills for current expenses and 3 mills
for past Indebtedness is collected in May and
October, as the law requires, thereby not allow
ing any of rcXt winters claims 10 infringe upon
it, by the dcS of November Union County will
