Ordered by the Court that for the
year 1908, that Is cents on the 500
worth of taxable property of the coun-
ty as assessed and equalized for state
purposes be levied for road and bridge
purposes, and that the same shall, dur
ing the year 1908, be collected in the
same manner, by the same officers and
under the same obligations and condi-
tons as the other county levy is collect
ed. And the<road and bridge tax so
collected from each respective magister-
ial district, shall be kept by the tax
collector as distinct and separate fund
TO the credit of said district and shall
be paid out by him only upon an order
given and signed by the Road Supervis-
or and approved by the County Judge;
and each such order shall be paid by
the tax collector out of the funds of
the Magisterial District, specified in the
body of the order.
The County Road Supervisor shall
superintend the construction and work.
ing Of the roads in each magisteria
district and shall make all contracts
relative to the same, and shall inspect
and approve the work done under such
contracts, when completed, before an
order is drawn for the payment of same.
But the Supervisor shall in each Magis
terial District consult the magistrate
thereof as to what roads in such Dis
trict shall be worked by contract or
pai0 labor, and as to what particular
parts of said roads are to be so worked
and the character of said work, and in
case the Supervisor and said Magistrate
shall disagree as to what roads or parts
of roads are to be worked by contract
or paid down labor on the character of
said work, they shall call in the County
Judge and he shall have the deciding
vote in designating the places to be so
worked and manner of same. And pro-
vided that wherein Magisterial Dis
trict there is more roads and parts of
16ads which need specia! attention,
than can be repaired and made substan-
tial with the funds due that district,
then the Supervisor and Magistrate and
county Judge if he be called in, shall
expend the money due said district on
that road or part of road where it is
needed the worst, where it will accomo-
date the most~peas.sand. where the
citizens will contribute thu most by
SUBSCRIPTION to assist said work. And
the Supervisor in giving orders for the
paying out of the road fund to the per-
sons entitled thereto, shall make such
orders payable out of the fund of the
Magisterial District in which the work
is done for which such order is given.
1t is the intention of the court and of
this order, that the Supervisor in con-
structing and working roads by con-
tract or by paid labor, shall only work
the bad places and such places and
roads as are very hard to keep in repair
because of the great amount of travel
ing over same; and that the places so
worked shall be grades and covered
wife metal of some kind and made as
near permanent as possible, consider
ing the amount of funds to the credit
of such district. And that such road or
parts of road as are good or Indifferent
shall be worked by the overseers and
hands as heretofore. And it is further
ordered that the Supervisor will make
his report to this court at each October
term, showing the amounts expended
by him in each Magisterial District, to-
gether with names of persons to whom
paid and for what purposes; and that
the County Judge shall have such re-
port published in one issue of the Coun-
ty paper, that will publish same the
cheapest. In cases where county
road is the boundry between two Mag
isterial districts, the Magistrates in said
districts shall get together and agree on
division of said road as to what part
is to be worked by each district and in
case they can not agree on division,
the Supervisor shall have the deciding
vote in making such division.
