now in the east. The report of the
county surveyor and road supervisors
on the location of the gravel beds
owned or needed by the county was
referred to the committee on roads
In his report on this very important
subject Surveyor Joseph states that as
there was no record shown in the
county clerks office of the county own
ing any property or gravel beds, and
to ascertain the truth if any such did
exist, would require the going over the
minutes of all the meetings of the
county courts for the past forty years,
he adopted the eXpedient of a commu-
nication to the thirty-two road SUPER
visors and received nineteen replies,
and found that the county owned four
such pieces of property-one near Taya
louisville costing 800; one in section II,
township 3 south. range l west, road
district No. %; one piece in road dis
trict No. IL: one in district 26 costing
S20Q. The surveyor recommends that
these plots be surveyed and proper
monuments erected, as private parties
are now and have been selling gravel
from these pits to the county. or. in
other words. are selling them their own
property. In other cases the super-
visors say that there are gravel beds
IN the respective districts for sale. and
the county is recommended to purchase
the same. The matter was referred to
the road committee

Grand Young. Lit is suggested that
these owners be brought together in
the county court and there arbitrate
an amicable settlement of the affair

referred.
