country road working is revolutionlzed.
The road supervisor is abolished and all
the work in the township is under the
charge of the township trustees. All
road taxes are to be paid in cash except
poll tax, and all work done on the roads
will be done by contract and paid for as
done. This will give a uniformity to
the work in the townships and ought to
result in better roads.
