ROAD LAW.

Briefly, the law provides for
the formation of independent
good roads districts, the same as
independent school districts; the
absolute control Of all road and
poll tax collected in the district
up to 25 per cent of the assessed
valuation of the district for road
purposes; and the election of
Good Road Commissioners in the
district to look after the roads,
independent of the county COM
missioners.
To form such a district, it is
necessary to present to the coun-
ty commissioners at a regular
meeting a petition signed by a
majority of the freeholders with
in the proposed improved dis
trict. This petition must set
forth assessed valuation of all
the taxable property, the route
it is intended to improve, the
kind of material to be used, the
petition must be published for
two weeks, giving the date when
it is to be presented the board,
and three copies posted in the
district three weeks. The board
after hearing all protests, may
declare the district formed, and
order an election for electing the
three commissioners, who hold
for two years. The commission
ers are under $500 bonds.
These commissioners may or
der an election to bond the dis
trict up to % per cent of the
assessed valuation, a two thirds
vote being necessary to carry.
The bonds must not sell below
par, must not bear more than 6
per cent interest, and may run
for 20 years with option of pay
ing in 10 The bond money may
be used for labor, machinery,
material or buying land for road
purposes.
The county treasurer is the
treasurer and the county collects
the road taxes the same as any
other taxes.
All work must be done by con,
tract, after advertising AMI re-
lceiving sealed bids.
