The Drifted Road Problem.

Tne Dr1fCe0 ROAD IrODlems
There is a wide variance OF opinion as 10
the propriety OF the step whereby the County
Commissioners have been precluded by law
from approprlating money to remove snow
drifts from the county roads, During the
recent "tie up" the criticism has all been
unfavorable; should the law be repealed and
another big blizzard put an expense of five
or ten thousand dollars on the county, there
would likely be another protest 60 up from
the taxpayers.
While snow drift is not a permanent
barrier such as large tree blown across the
road, wash out or landslide and Is re-
moved usually within two weeks with.
out cost, yet we are of the opinion that
due to exigencies, illness, death, food and
fuel. communication by the county highways
should not be permitted to remain closed
during 80 brief period of time as one week,
If the expenditure of every dollar of tax
money was known TO be as fully warranted
lift were not certainly known that a sum
equal to the probable average of such ex-
pense, was spent annually on less warranted
accounts, there would be less substantial
grounds OF argument against the policy of
the Commissioners under the existing law.

tions to open their roads: Superintendent

In two days, or on the night of the 2lst it
had increased in brilliancy nearly to that of
a star of the second magnitude and it was
thought that it was about to become a mag
nifcent spectacle but since that date it has
decreased in briiancy. One of the theories
for its sudden blazing out is, that great
a meteoric belt, possibly where the meteors
were numerous and large and being attracted
to this big star occasioned a great meteoric
shower, where the meteors were worlds like
