county Judges and commissioners were
present The aim of the convention was
to cut down county expenses and inau-
gurate n movement in the interest OF
good roads. Plans were considered for
the building OF county roads In this
state In the same manner as has been
so successfully done In the East. The
ten year payment plan upon bonds Is
sued by the district In which roads are
constructed. seems to be the most feas-
lble and generally approved, The great
question now before this state ls wheth-
er to struggle along In the mud as In
the past, and at the end OF ten years
have no roads or whether TO take the
bull by the horns and at once con-
struct solid roads on the ten year bond
plan and thus secure the fullest devel-
opmcnt Of the interior resources OF the
state.
