There was question in the minds of
some as to whether the county could
be compelled to pay Its proportionate
share of the paving in Upton and
when the board met on Jan. 9Th the
matter was deferred for the purpose of
making an investigation into the ques-
ton. While at the supervisor conven-
ton in Des Moines last week the MEM
bers of the board in attendance took
pains TO inquire among the members
from other counties where the same
question had arisen. They found but
one opinion. and that was that the
county must pay. TIE matter was also
referred to the county attorney, who
held that there was no escape from
payment Al the special meeting here
later the amount assessed to the county
for paving was ordered paid.
