TO THE PEOPLE AND SUPER
vISORS OF SPOTSYLYANIA

IL win shortly beup to the Board
OF Supervisors OF Spotsylvania
county to inaugurate new system
for the working Of the public roads
OF that county, it's citizens in mass
meeting last January having de-
clared the present plan unsatisiac-
tory and inefficient to meet the needs
OF the highways. In obedience to
, their expressed mandate Spotsyl-
vania's representatives in the Gen
eral Assembly secured the repeal OF
she present obnoxious road law. and
after ninety days from the expira-
ton OF the Assembly's session the
county viii find itself under the gen
eral road law of the State and in a
position to inaugurate a much bet
ser system Of road management
than that heretofore in vogue On
the shoulders Of the supervisors,
however, rests the responsibility FIR
tbe successful Inauguration of the
new order OF things, their first and
most important duty being the Sc
Lection OF suitable man for Super
intendent of Roads. True they
can. II they see fit, have District
Superintendents, but on this point
we urgently advise them, and we
earnestly urge the people whom
they represent to do the same, TO
elect a County Superintendent
and then, II necessary, give him such
assistants as the work requires. In
other words, elect a man as the head
oil the entire system, and, gentlemen
OF the board and citizens of Spotsyl-
vania, see that this man is, as the
law says he must be, ''either a civil
engineer or a person well versed in
road building" None other than
the above will prove satisfactory
and none other will meet the plain
requirements OF the law. When this
man is elected give him enough sal
ary to guarantee good service. You
can't get anything but cheap man
for cheap place and cheap men do
cheap work and cheap work means
the squandering OF county money.
The people OF Spotsylvanis should
arouse themselves at this juncture
and begin to take an interest in the
matter OF electing road officials. 1t
Is ali important, and while the SUD-
erviSors elect, the people can between
now and election day let the super
visors know their wishes. and the
supervisors being elected by the peo-
pie should, and doubtless will. carry
them out in the selection OF these
officials. Don't let the ap-
pointment be political and
handed out to some man simply
because he has a measure OF politi-
tical pull. Give it TO the best man
you can snd, who has the qualinca-
tions the law requires. If the super
visors are parsimonious about his
salary or careless about his selection.
then resign yourselves to the inevi
table and continue toplod or plough
through the mud, which is the curse
and howl of this section and which
has retarded your progress, reduced
your population and checked your
development. These are not idle
words to be read and cast aside.
They are words which deserve first
your serious and thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON, then your earnest and ener-
getic action.
