The County court believes that no

than must 10 expended for each year
Tor several years to come. Much OF tho
western and southwestern part OF tho
county needs work upon the highways.
All the old wooden bridges should ba
replaced by Iron structures NJ thuy
wear out. This will DO much more
costly Mt nrst, but will lie economy In
the end.
The cost Of caring for the poor will
decrease por capita with tho establish
