TO ASK GRAND JURY FOR BETTER ROADS.
County Commissioners Appointed Committee to Appea
Before That Body and Request That an Improved system
of Road Working Be Recommended

improvement along the line OF what is
known as the new system" but 1t
will not be altogether as expensive.
while as good results will be obtained.
Several years ago the grand jury
recommended that the new system OF
road working be put into effect, but at
that time the commissioners did not
think the financial condition OF the
county warranted the expense that
would necessarily result, and they con-
tinued to work the roads the old way.
Since then the commissioners have
seen their way clear to adopt the new
method, and have several times asked
the grand jury to recommend 1t, but
that body has not seen fit to do so.
The need and value of good roads are
recognized by every one, but what the
outcome of the present movement will
be cannot he told until after the grand
Jury which is soon to meet considers
the question.
