yor of better roads in this country than
we have nowadays for many reasons. By
having good roads we would save the wear
and tear of our vehicles by large per
cent. We would save our stock and ride
more comfortable while taking our after
noon rides. What looks better in com.
munity than to see real good roads and
bridges? You all know the plan the roads
are worked now. Road overseers are ap.
pointed and given hands to work. They
will take their hands out and stay on the
roads six or eight days, and when the road
is left they have put about two days square
work on it. believe the method of work.
ing the roads by taxation is the thing We
need. It is by this plan that all who are
bound to road duty will have to pay their
tax of So %. Then the man who has the
contract can hire you, if you like, and pay
YOU SOC. or 60c. per day, and then If man
didn't work turn him off and get one that
would. We would get more work out Of
the same number Of hands in one day than
is done in four or five at present. Let's
watch the new County law and see II it is
success. II it is, we may know 1t is
good law.
