The Board of Supervisors OF SUM-

lar meeting Tuesday. They al
lowed some bills for current ex"
penses and settled with the treas
urer. The finances of the township
were found to be in a splendid con-

The annual town election will
occur next Tuesday. A full COM
plement of town officers and road
overseers will be elected. 1t is es-
pecially desired that full atten-
dance from every road district Is
present to sec that competent over
seers are chosen. The question OF
the working of roads is a vital one
and one that is hardest for the
Board to handle. When working
the roads, a man should do an
honest days work, the same as at
any other task and the overseer
should see also that his work is
done we'll. We are Of the opinion
that one of the weak spots in the
road laws of this state is that the
overseers are not under bonded to do
their duty and some of our aspiring
legislators could place feather in
their hats if they would work to i'm
prove this part of the requirements.
