county road commissioner at the
April election TO take the place
of Ill. j McLaren whose term
expires. While the county road
system proved a little expensive
to the county when the
system was first adopted yet in
the main il has worked well.
The road between Mansfield and
Atkinson has been completed
and all of the necessary bridges
built. IL now remains for the
commissioners TO see that the
road is paid for before any eX.
tensions are made To the system.
According TO law there can be
raised but about $1,000 each
year for county road purposes
The completing OF the Atkinson
Mansfield road has been costly
and the fund has been over
drawn. The efforts Of the com
missioners should now be TO keep
the road in good repair
There are three townships in
the county that, 50 far, have
