Dissatisfied About Road Work.

Dissatisfied About Road Work.
The amount raised by the special
road tax In this county is something
over $4,000. The road supervisor, Mr..
A. E. Thorne, has purchased teams and
road machine and worked for some
time on about two miles OF road near
Littleton.
1t Is estimated that about 81 500 has
been used on this two miles OF road
aud the people In other parts of the
county are dissatisfied with the expen-
diture OF all the money collected IN the
county on such a short distance of road
No one has said that the WORK is not
we'll done, but the tax payers in other
parts of the county do not want to see
all the money put down in one town
ship or on one road.
Mr.. w. A. Dunn called the attention
of the county commissioners to the
matter Monday, and they are holding
meeting to-day (Wednesday) to con
slider it.
