We notice an article in the TRANSCRIPT of
May 30, headed ''We must have better roads,"
Now why not pay attention to having straight
er roads, and not spoil our beautiful county
by road that will jog first to the right and
then to the left. To do this must pay
little more attention to selecting our town
and county officers. Now here is an example
Of the way business is done in this town by
Como Of Cnr town officers. One Of orr farm.
ers calls for road on the section line SO he
can get to a place he has to work a mile from
where he lives. He applies to one of the su-
pervisors there being no cross road for three
miles. One of our supervisors gets up a pc
tition for a road on the half section line, MAX
ing this farmer four miles extra travel daily,
in working his place, when if there was
road On the section line he would have no ex-
ira travel. The hearing took place June II,
and although the majority of the farmers
within two miles of the road were two for the
road On the section line to one for the road on
the half section, the supervisors say it isln
their hands and proceed to lay out the half
section, and it will take less grading on the
section line. The road goes straight across
the county except this jog to the south of one
half mile. We. hope the County Commits
siOners will investigate this matter and not
allow road to be laid out, against the voice
Of the people, that will spoil the beauty of
the county, as a crooked road always docs.
And now Mr.. Editor would like to ask: you
is it lawful for them to lay out a road when
the petition has not .beeni.hl lin the Town
Clerks office. In view of the above we hope
our farmers will investigate this matter and
if possible wake up and give more attention
to electing their town officers and not elect
those who Will club together sand work for
their int erests:instead of the interest of the
town.
