material, which at all seasons Of the
year VIII make road firm, smooth and
convenient for travel No new road
shall be less than twelve feet in width,
and the right Of way for a road shall
not be less than thirty-three feet.
Under the provisions of the bill the
Levy Court win have full charge OF
making al payments for road improve
ments. and by this system it will be
known to the public the exact cost OF
maintaining the roads.
The bill makes a further provision
that If at the end Of the first year there
is a surplus OF the appropriation made
by the Legislature the state shall pur-
chase a road repairing plant, consist
ing of a portable stone crusher with
engine. steam road roller and Other
machinery necessary to keep roads in
