ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 9. 1907.
The question of bonding Alexandria coun-
ty for the improvement of roads is still be-
ing discussed by residents, and many, it is
stated heartily favor the plan. TIE board

ter under consideration and expects to re-
ceive~a report from the county engineer
within comparatively short while, so that
tt --e interested may be fully informed on
the subject. At a recent meeting of the
board of trade a committee was appointed
to confer with the county engineer and
have him prepare a report giving the mile
age of the county roads, the names what
imp rovements should be made and the APP
proxmate cost'of the work.
1t is stated that the residents Of the
county desire that all the roads shall re-
ceive some improvement, and they are also
equally DESTROYS of knowing the amount
that shall be spent on each road.

event the work is started the money should
be expended under the direction of an in
dependent commission selected by the peo-
pie.
