About score of the largest
taxpayers Of Delaware township,
most of them farmers, met with the
township trustees at the Court
House Monday afternoon and urged
them to make better use of the
road fund this year than they had
heretofore done. The plan recon-
mended by these farmers was for
the township trustees to select some
good public spirited man in each of
the old road districts, and employ
him to use the money collected in
his district on its roads. 1t was
further recommended that no man
SO employed be paid more than So
per day, and that for work actually
performed by him and not for time
spent riding around the township.
