to say that there are present only
two members Of the committee
as originally constituted, but through
letters of members who are un-
able to attend, and from information
derived from various sources, the COM
mittee is pursuaded that there is SUBJ
stantial concurrence Of opinion among
farmers as to the following points :
That road law should be. enacted by
the next Legislature which shall pro-
vide
First. That the present system Of
working roads through labor should be
more efficiently enforced.
Second. That a general law should
be passed authorizing counties to bor-
row money on their bonds to an amount
deemed sufficient to put tie roads of
their county in thorough repair, re-
curing Of these counties that
when they avail themselves of
the privilege to borrow money that
they should levy tax sufficient to meet
the interest Of the debt, and / per
centum upon the debt to form sink
ing fund. Also, to levy tax in money
sufficient, with the labor system, to
keep the roads in thorough repair.
Third. That it be provided by law
that the road system thus provided for
shall be controlled in each county by a
capable, skilled man, who shall be
STYLED "road commissioner >" Of that
county, and who shall have the control
and direction of such permanent force
