NEED FOR AN ENGINEER
 Is MOST MtHLY FELT
Former Commission Is Inclined To Think There Should Be Bond Issue To Put Roads In
 Good Shape.
BY E. D. CORkER.

Eufaula, April Special )-The matter of good roads in the county has been one that has met serious consid- eration and is still the subject of much comment among the citizens at large. How to work the roads and secure the best results upon the most economical methods is still agitating the minds of the better element of not only citi- zens of the cities, but a vast majority of the country people as well. Every resident of Barbour is fast realizing the importance of a good system of public highways, and more especially in this progressive age when products of the farm are so much in demand and so much more attention has been turned to truck raising in the rural districts.
 It is an evident fact that the system If working the roads in this county is not meeting the approval of a vast majority of the residents of it. and some have gone so far as to express the belief that it is almost worth less expenditure of time ana money The plan of levying a special Noad tax of 25 cents on every one hundred dol lars of taxable property creates ap proximately a fund of $10,000 that IS annually expended in road building, and citizens are firm in their convic- tions that the work does not show up. It is frequently placed under the supervision of men who, while they i,, c.f their duties, are lacking in the most important essential of engineering, and for this reason it does not last. It has been frequently noticed that portions Of road apparently carefully worked and left in excellent condition would, under adverse circumstances brought about by excessive rains more frequently be found in worse condi- tion than had the work been left un- done. The county board of revenue, however has not yet discovered Q method upon which they have been willing to rely and this system stlll prevails in Barbour.
 While the roads are benefited ana many miles of them are more often found in excellent condition, it is a conceded fact that for the amount expended the county should receive better results. While there is a great diversity of opinion as to how the best results could be brought about c. 4. Locke, for a number of years a mem Der of the county board, has agitated a plan that seems at least reasonable and could not but rebound in bene
 lcial consequences and improve over the present system. MT. Locke, thinNs the plan of working convicts an eXcel- lent one, but the difficulty has been that the price paid for their services has been too heavy. The convicts have been leased for a sum as high

 as $27 per month, and while this price has not been maintained regularly 1t was believed that in the event the county became bidder the large cor porations could afford to pay more and inc price would be run up. MT. Locke thinks the error lies in not having competent civil engineers in charge of the work He further believes the work should be let out on contract to competent engineers who would guar antee the best results and that the funds should be in hand to have the work done properly in the beginning. MT. Locke thinks $2OO 900 would build at least 200 miles of superb road in the county. Then why not. said he, float bonds for that amount. These would bear 4 to 4h per cent, and the taxation would be even less. The work then properly let out on contract to competent civil engineers would in- sure a highway that would, with very little repairs, last practically life time.
 The great difficulty that confronts the people is the idea of running tho county in debt but the expediency of MT. Lockes proposition is easily ex- plained in that in the event the pres ent system proved satisfactory the coming generation would enjoy the fruits of what those of today are be- ing taxed to pay for. By floating the bonds the burden of the interest would fall upon those who would in a great CT degree enjoy the benefits and the taxation in this way would be more evenly distributed.
 The citizens are fast awakening to the value of good roadways and the question has been more intelligently discussed in recent years than ever before. Present indications point to some very material changes in the system of working the roads in Bat- bour at no distant day.
