THAT THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

Editor Durango Herald
Please allow me to say through The
Herald that we have a law approved
April Is, 1907. whereby majority OF
the voters (outside of the Incorporated
towns) may petition the county com
missioners and have the county laid
out in road districts, and on the first
Monday In June, each district elects a
board Of three directors who have the
supervision of all public roads In their
districts Except bridges over twelve
feet long). and the board levies a road
tax which is collected by the county
treasurer and spent by said board in
the same manner as school directors
handle school funds. That is, each
road district gets the benefit Of the
road tax they pay. II some person
in each voting precinct will take the
trouble to circulate petition and will
drop me card, giving their name and
address. will see that blank petition
is furnished them. and we will try
the new road law.
