BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

The Board of Supervisors will adj
journ today after session of days.
Most of the time has been consumed
in examining the assessment rolls and
hearing petitions of taxpayers for
changes, good deal of time being al
SO given to the public road question.
The board first decided to re-
ject all bids on file for the
working of the public roads by
contract, and levy tax of quarter
of mill to pay for working the three
roads let out at the July meeting. Aft
erward this action was rescinded and
levy of one mill made for road pur-
poses. When this was done, William
son, Hilton Il Co., made proposition
to the board to enter into contract to
work all the first-class roads of the
county according to the specifications
prescribed 13 in all, including the
three previously let OUT 4 years for
the services or comutation money as
the case may be, of the hands an these
roads, and the proceeds of the one-mill
levy, the use of the county road ma
chine aud the use of any road tools the
county may now have on these roads
the county to assume no other obliga.
ton and they to give bond in the sum
of s12, POP for the faithful performance
of their contract. The board by unan.
imous vote accepted this bid as the
best solution of the question and the
contract was eatsred into as above.
The firm of Williamson, Hilton a
Co., is composed of Messrs. 1. P. Will
hanson, Thos. Hilton and Baker
Smith, all former road overseers and
practical men, and Messrs. Williamson
and Smith were the men already IN
der contract for the roads let out at
the July meeting, and which ere pow
embraced in their new Contract.
The ID roads let out are all of the
principal public highways and, as a
whole, cover the entire county. All
roads of the second-class, which are
those roads which come between the
main public roads and the small neigh.
borhood roads, will continue to be
worked under the old system, and no
further changes will be made for a
year or two, at least.
1t is estimated that about two thirds
of the money raised by the one-mill
tax will be paid by thecity of Brookha-
ven, the l. G. Railroad and the large
mill owners of the county, who have
heretofore contributed nothing to-
ward working the public highways
The LEADER thinks the Board of Su-
pervisors aad the people OF the county
are to be congratulated upon what has
been done. The county assumes no
obligation but the one-ulill tax. which
will not be Cumbersome or /. hardship
on any taxpayer. and it is given the
opportunity to thoroughly test the con-
tract system and improve all of its
main highways Let the kickers now
subside and the new system be given a
fair and unprecedented trial. We think
it one of the surest and best steps any
Board of Supervisors has ever taken
in the county. The board has acted
honestly and conscientiously with an
eye single to the welfare of the entire
people, and believing this, we heartily
commend their action.
