COUNTY ROAD INSPECTOR
The sur re-visors Put an Old Law Into
Effect.

There was regular meeting OF the
beard &C supervisors yesterday, atwhich
principally the roads of the county
were considered For q long time the
supervisors have been dissatisfied with
the situation and have received many
complaints from different parts cf the
county. Charges of favoritism in the
keeping of roads in repair were made.
and il some Instances they We're found
10 be well grounded.
The road overseer had become an
autocrat in his dominions. There was
nobody to give him instructions regard
ing his work beyond an order from
the board of supervisors that a certain
road should be opened. In many cases
when that was done that was all the
attention that particular road ever re-
ceived.
The county expends through the
overseers about $40. coo a year of which
there is practically no accounting. The
.overseer makes his report showing why
the money was expended. but the su-
pervisors have no means of knowing
that the report is correct. The over
seer issues vouchers which pass cur
rent at the banks and among the 1ner-
chants.
Therefore. under a law passed sew
eral years ago. but OF which this
county until now has never availed
itself, the board yesterday appointed
n. a. Sanders county road inspector.
The appointment so far is only an ex-
pertinent, and has been made only for
the quarter. If it has resulted in the
saving of nc money at the end Of that
Il
on the roads has not been better dis
tributed, it will not be renewed.
The salary was fixed at $125. the in
spector to furnish his own team for
visiting the various road districts. The
law authorizes the payment of a sal
airy of $3.50 a day and mileage. The
latter item would likely get to be
more formidable one than the salary
in the county which it would cost the
county as much as so for the inspec-
tor to visit.
While the inspector will handle none
of the road funds himself. he viii see
that the reports of the overseers who
have handled it are correct.
An effort was made in the last leg
islature to divide the county into su-
pervisoral districts and give the su-
pervisor of each district the authority
which the former law conferred upon
the inspector.
The supervisors appointed Frank Ia
peda overseer, of read district No. 20
in the place of Hugh Robertson, re-
signed. This is the ella Bend district,
and the appointment was made on the
petition of most of the residents of
the district.
The board received notice from Gov
ernor Brodie that the reform school
would be opened on December l, and
it was requested to inform all justices
of the peace of the county of the fact.
