After some con- sideration. the Commissioners turned the proposition down, but it is thought that they will come to an agreement. The gentlemen representing the com pany which is almost entirely composed of Northern capital, state that the road will be built in the very near future, and that whether the commissioners agree to the road right will not retard fin the least their plans.

New Road Machines Ordered.

Tho Court of County Revenues at its meeting decided that the County did not have enough road machines to fla cilitate the work of improving the pub lio roads of tho County as fast as it was desired. To getting better results from this work and to push it forward as rapidly as possible 1t was decided that four new road machines should be purchased to be worked on the public roads of the County and to that end four now Milling road machines were ordered.
 The County already has several of these machines which are proving very satisfactory in the work of improving the public roads. Two of the new ma chimes will be used on the roads in West Dallas and one on the roads in the extreme western part of the Coun- ty. The fourth machine will be used on the roads close to this city and In the territory that is looked after by Commissioner Smith. These machines will prove quite an additional help in the matter of building up the roads of the County and if the work of build ing and improving the roads of the County Is pushed In the years to come as conscientiously as 1t has been since the movement for better roads was in augurated it will not befmany years before Dallas County has as good roads as any County in the State.
